Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I spent some time testing how this thing treats semi-historical figures, so I guess I might as well post my "findings".
Biblical women of the Old Testament are considered fictional, but those from the New Testament or the Quran are not. Helen of Troy is correctly considered fictional, but Agondice is not. Interestingly, Hersilia, the wife of Romulus, is considered not fictional.
I did a bit of testing myself and I can't find any pattern for which mythological characters are fictional vs which are ambiguous.
Ceridwen (a character from Welsh folklore) is ambiguous but her daughter Creirwy is not a recognised public figure. Lilith is fictional. Shamhat (from the epic of Gilgamesh) is fictional.
Edit: to muck around a bit further I tried some saints. Dwynwen is is a historical figure, Gwen the triple breasted is not. Agatha of Sicilly ~~is corrected into Agatha Christie for some reason~~ That was 'cos of a typo, it does recognise her as a historical figure.
Sounds like AI slop.
Given the noted bias, I would guess the creator is Muslim.
