Truth

Someone claimed to be training an AI thing with the code, an outdated wiki, and various chat logs to, in theory, produce answers about a game, at which point various chat log producers began (or had been for a while now) talking about how good enchanting your starting darts is. Now, certain folks will scold you for spreading untruths, though untruths are in truth very popular. Santa, for example. Probably if you only told someone truths they would be tripped up by the very first person who can lie, something that, spoiler alert, may be a point in the book "City of Illusions" by Ursula K. Le Guin. So the trick for humans is to feed them enough bad data (and in such a way?) as to instill "trust, but verify" tendencies. On the other hand, some humans really do not like having to think (it costs energy, and they may not have much practice at it) so they may be desirous of easy answers from an AI, or whomever. Or maybe "set up an AI" is, at present, more fashionable than cleaning up and editing a wiki, or diving into the code to see exactly how the flammable gas from bloats sometimes does not catch on fire after you kill the bloat with a bolt of fire, or whether the glowing effect of a creature with the explosive mutation is visible on a creature that is not visible. Various features of the game rogue, by the way, were added to defeat rog-o-matic.
