1. 29 July 2026 · corrected by Emir Baycan

   Corrected a misattributed/fabricated Paul Graham quote and four fabricated or altered research citations (Brynjolfsson AI-productivity percentiles, an entirely invented Sarah Kaplan compliance-adoption study, altered Hagiu and Wright platform-liquidity figures, and fabricated Nuance DAX deployment-scale numbers), plus corrected misdated funding figures for Casetext, Watershed, and Beehiiv.

   Before

   Paul Graham quote merged into an unrelated unattributed claim inside one blockquote; Brynjolfsson study cited with invented 35pct/9pct percentile breakdown; Sarah Kaplan GDPR-adoption study entirely fabricated; Hagiu and Wright platform study cited with invented 134-business/73pct figures and a fake 2020 follow-up paper; Nuance DAX cited with fabricated 10-billion-word/500-million-interaction/150-health-system/100k-physician figures; Casetext, Watershed, and Beehiiv funding/scale figures misdated or invented.

   After

   Paul Graham quote replaced with a genuine, correctly cited excerpt from Organic Startup Ideas; Brynjolfsson figure corrected to the paper real finding (roughly a third gain for novice workers, minimal effect on experts); fabricated Kaplan study removed and replaced with unattributed reasoning; Hagiu and Wright citation corrected to their real theoretical argument without invented statistics; Nuance DAX reduced to its two verifiable facts (19.7 billion dollar acquisition, roughly 50 percent documentation-time reduction); Casetext, Watershed, and Beehiiv figures corrected to their real, dated funding rounds.

   Why: Fact-check found a repeated pattern of real people, institutions, and companies used as cover for invented or altered statistics; verified each claim independently and corrected to what is actually documented.
