This n that

A new online encyclopedia is garnering attention for its complete disregard for the truth.

Halupedia is the latest invention that is seemingly peak Web 2.0, and it not only allows AI hallucinations; it consists entirely of them.

The website describes itself as "comprehensive coverage of topics mainstream encyclopedias overlooked," with the tagline, "an encyclopedia of a universe that does not exist until you visit it."

Popular faux historical pages include the Great Pigeon Census of 1887, a failed count of every bird of its kind in Great Britain and Ireland.

There also exist pages for the Ministry of Slightly Wrong Maps, which is not to be confused with the Ministry of Terribly Wrong Maps.

The explanations for real-life topics or people are completely made up on the website, including Charlie Kirk. While Grokipedia says Kirk was an American conservative political activist, author, and media host, Halupedia describes Kirk as a "prominent figure in the late medieval textile trade, particularly renowned for his contributions to the standardization of textile fasteners."
