I was spell checking myself and the auto-generated summary of results told me that the phrase didn’t exist.

    To be fair. It seems more likely to be a misspelling. AI is right here. In particular with the minus instead of a space. They probably should also provide the en force meaning though.

      No, you can’t just slap the words “to be fair” in front of nonsense. I mean, I guess you proved that you can, but it doesn’t make you any less wrong. It was not a typo, so that first sentence is absolutely, positively 100% incorrect rendering the rest of it just as incorrect.

        I mean, correct in French, but OP was prob searching in English. The closest thing to en force in English is enforce or in force, unless we’re going for a similar meaning of the French phrase en masse that’s actually been adopted into English.

        Don’t get me wrong, fuck ai and all that, but this isn’t a great example of a hallucination.

        No. There are two valid interpretations of “en-force” also misspelling/mishearing to work around when figuring out what the person who is Googling means.

        They could also, for example, have copied it from a digital book and the - carries over from a newline.

          no but the ai calls it a typo of enforce, I have never seen anyone use hyphenation when intending either of enforce or en force, and if anything other than en force was intended there would be no reason to leave the wikitionary search result for it in the screenshot. defining something specifically as a typo and not listing other suggestions is also not ideal.

          the newline example would just be another example of known flaws in ai training much like the reading horizonally over multiple columns issue.

            In my experience not even the AI is reading those first sentences. That’s just meaningless fluff.

      “En force” is a real phrase. The AI says “En force” is a typo for enforce. It has nothing to do with the hyphen in the search term; the AI summary is factually and confidently incorrect.

      In reality “En-force” is a typo for “En force”. It’s a French phrase adopted into English and the hyphen isn’t needed.

        But the AI doesn’t acknowledge the hyphen - the AI summary says the actual real phrase “En force” is a typo for enforce. The AI is wrong, hence the downvotes.
