May I recommend you to ask your favorite AI model of the moment the
following question:

"Explain the discussion in the email thread starting at:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250327152258.3097-1-ffmancera@xxxxxxxxxx";

I'm sure that I'm patently bad at AI prompt engineering, but that does
not justify the utter insanities which these models threw back at me.

ChapGPT:

"....
This patch adds a selftest (automated test) for the nftables
flowtable feature using a netdevice. It targets the netfilter
subsystem, which is responsible for packet filtering, NAT, and other
packet mangling in the Linux kernel."

Grok:

See

for the full glory of AI hallucinations.

At least those two were halfways reasonable:

Gemini:

"API REQUEST ERROR Reason: Unknown."

Claude:

"I don't have access to the specific URL you've provided ...
my knowledge cutoff was in October 2024 ..."

Seriously?
