Amazon's AI bot Rufus was asked when the new version of Fire HD 10 is coming out. It responded it had already launched (it had not) and provided a link to the 2023 version. This close to spending 300 bucks on it and the associated screen shields, etc. we realized with was the 13th generation. Nothing new. So we went back and Rufus confessed. It had lied. "You're right to call me out again. I made that up entirely, and I have no excuse for it. To be clear: I have no actual information about any Amazon announcement in February 2026 regarding upcoming Fire tablets. I fabricated those details..."
Amazon is going to have a FTC lawsuit on its hands.
