Ask AI No Longer Invents Macro Charts
Two suggested chart prompts asked the AI for data it does not have, so it drew the numbers from thin air.

Ask AI offered to draw you a chart of ISM manufacturing against Bitcoin. The problem: that series is not in the data the AI is allowed to read, so the chart it produced was invented. The worst of the two mixed a real Risk Wave line with a made-up ISM line, which is more dangerous than being obviously wrong.
Both suggested prompts now ask only for series that are genuinely grounded: Risk Wave and Fear & Greed. The conceptual ISM questions stay, because those explain the framework without pretending to show you data.
