Fast Research Assistant provides irrelevant sources for product recommendations

pbronez

I asked the Fast Research Assistant:

I need a robust carrying case for my 12" vinyl records. I really like the AirBag Chateau Vinyl Solo, but it's pretty expensive and made in Europe. Please provide 10 alternative products, prioritizing items made in the United States and retailing for $200 or less.

It replied with 10 items, each with a linked source. Most of the listed products don't actually exist and the linked sources are total nonsense. Links seemed to mostly be irrelevant PDFs and multiple pointers to a single malicious-seeming site:

irrelevant PDFs: one, two, three, four, five, six
Malicious websites: one, two, three,
Irrelevant websites: one
