The absolute state of AI results.

[sammoHung]

Saw Cazel up yesterday, and have never killed him. I logged to my necro, and ran from EC to Oasis ready to be the hero of the lowbies.

For some reason, I had it in my mind that Cazel was immune to fear - so I took some time to strategize. I pulled open Google.com and searched "necro solo cazel p99". This is what the AI overview spit out:

Solo tactics for Necromancers
Cazel is a level 51 mob who is snareable, fearable, and slowable, making him vulnerable to standard Necromancer crowd-control tactics.

Oh, perfect! Standard fear-kite then. I was curious though, so I read on...

Fear kiting
This is the most common solo strategy and leverages the Necromancer's full toolkit.
Pull and position. Pull Cazel to a clear area of Greater Faydark to begin the kite. Ensure you have room to maneuver without pulling other mobs.

Wait... what?

Snare and fear. Apply a snare spell like Clinging Darkness to prevent Cazel from outrunning you, then cast Screaming Terror to fear him. Cazel is a level 51 mob, so a level 50+ Necromancer should land fear reliably.

Uhhhhh....

Apply damage over time (DoTs). Once Cazel is running, apply your full stack of mana-efficient DoTs. Ignite Bones is a strong option.

Ummmmm..

Mana efficiency: Necromancers can be very mana-efficient soloists. Use your passive mana regeneration spells like Leech and Siphon Life along with Feign Death and your ability to med while sitting.

0 for 4 here, AI overview - what gives? It went on to describe sending a pet in to conserve mana, and Cazel fleeing. Ok.. but... then it had another section..

This strategy is an alternative that allows you to use a charmed NPC as a damage shield against Cazel.
Prep the vendors. In the area where Cazel roams, find the vendors and root two of them close together.
Lure Cazel. Pull Cazel and charm him using an undead charm spell.
Use charmed Cazel. Send your charmed Cazel to attack the two rooted vendors. Their combined damage output can overcome Cazel's innate regeneration.

I typically search on google -ai to avoid shit like this - but good lord. This is the cutting edge AI software that Google is so eager to roll out. It got just about every detail wrong in this overview. Luckily for me, a seasoned EQ player - I saw all the discrepancies.... but...

What if this was, let's say: wrong info about the Heimlich maneuver? Wrong info about managing accidental poison ingestion... Or, maybe somebody with an important job in safety Googles a how-to, and get's this AI overview as a response...

Are we cooked? I think we're cooked.
