@ApostateEnglishman This spelling appears in some dictionaries because it was used in 1646. As far as I can tell it was used only _once_. This misspelling of "loyalty" was probably a typo or mistranslation by the original author. Or, it may be an error introduced in more recent times during scanning/OCR. I haven't seen a photo of the original page so I can't confirm, but I have seen this sort of glitch happen.

Nevertheless, it's bizarre to include such a rare and archaic word in spell-check dictionaries!

How did this happen? I think it may be a consequence of LLMs scraping content from online sources, using what it finds without the intelligence to discern between quality and slop, and negligent humans failing to review machine-generated content before declaring "LGTM, ship it!" Next, that LLM gets scraped by other LLMs, which indiscriminately incorporate the errors into their own AI model training corpus in an ever-worsening "Habsburg AI" feedback loop.

Thus, it seems one person's typo nearly 400 years ago has resurfaced and is contributing to AI Model Collapse.

In particular, I'm finding that when I search for hard data such as market-share statistics or other business numbers, the results often come from bad sources. Instead of stats from 10-Ks, the US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) mandated annual business financial reports for public companies, I get numbers from sites purporting to be summaries of business reports.

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols writes in an op-ed for The Register: I use AI a lot, but not to write stories. I use AI for search. When it comes to search, AI, especially Perplexity, is simply better than Google. Ordinary search has gone to the dogs. Maybe as Google goes gaga for AI, its search engine w...
