@Fekauffman:, I seriously worry for the future of humanity when people like yourself can't spot AI written articles and/or fake news articles intentionally designed to mislead. If President Carter had died, his Wikipedia article would be updated within 30 seconds of any official announcement. --Jkaharper (talk) 22:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
I appreciate your high estimation of my abilities of discernment, but the better explanation of what happened here is Mandela effect + confirmation bias.
Someone IRL stated something current(ish) about Carter, and I was either remembering Carter entering hospice as memory of his passing, or just jumping to "Surely, he would have died by now [if he hadn't already]," given that he had entered hospice more than a minute ago. Then, I was already postured to find an article apparently supporting that. That is its own thing, but relevant is my coming here to see that the Jimmy Carter heading didn't seem to reflect this, I offered the edit (though I would not have edited if the page were unlocked-- why I'd see a difference is a matter for my therapist).

This just reenforces Jkaharper's worry. As they noted, it is inconceivable that this article would have gone 9 months without mention of the subject's death. 2600:8802:5913:1700:2140:9628:326:F395 (talk) 12:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
