This is no reasonable explanation as to why this is not blatant sandbagging or cheating.

When I'm wandering around other parts of reddit, every time AI is brought up multiple people immediately start dogpiling about hallucinations.
When is the last time they used an any AI models? 2022? Do they just suck ass at prompting? Is it a lack of knowledge of what AI is good at versus what it may screw up?
In my experience, any half decent model just really isn't hallucinating simple questions anymore. When I find hallucinations while working, it is almost always my own failure of prompting or providing correct context.
You can intentionally trick AI, or you can ask it something so niche that it will just babble, but I really don't run into random hallucinations pretty much ever.
The amount of people in most other parts of reddit who viscerally hate AI while also self-reporting that they don't know anything about it is so strange to me. I feel like they asked it how may "r"s are in strawberry in 2022 and immediately decided it was evil forever.
I might catch some hate for this but wanted to give an opportunity to discuss.
I have been a consistent but casual 1600-1700 blitz player on lichess for years. Out of curiosity I sandbagged my account down to 1300 (I know this is against the rules, sorry!).
It has been absolute hell grinding back up. The rating system math implies I should be beating people ~60-85% of the time, but over the course of a week and maybe 80 games I am barely up to 1500 and I'm facing some fierce competition that actually pushed me back down to 1450. Doing napkin math I should almost be back up to my normal rating already.
I know, play stupid games win stupid prizes, but anyone else have a similar experience? Was I quietly put in a naughty-lobby for sandbagging? Am I just playing like crap?
What seems most odd to me is that there have been a surprising amount of games where I am just wholly outclassed. Time, tactics, opening, strategic -- just owned. I pull up the engine and I'm baffled they found the right move when it would have taken me a full minute or two find moves like that.
