Ask a large language model for the combat radius of a foreign fighter and it will give you a number. Confident, specific, formatted like a fact. It may also be entirely invented. That is an inconvenience if you are writing a school essay. It is something else if you...

Solo un esbelto planeador blanco, cuyas largas alas se alimentaban de invisibles corrientes de aire ascendente, ascendiendo más alto que un avión espía U-2 hacia la gélida oscuridad de la estratosfera. En 2018, el planeador sin motor Perlan 2 alcanzó los 76.124 pies...
