https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2xZxYaGlfs
it doesn't exist, but there are posts on Reddit of people falsely remembering that it does, and that was scraped to be in ChatGPT 5's training data, so if you ask it if there's a seahorse emoji, it types yes, but then can't produce it, and gets stuck in a loop of lies and promises as it continues its next-word prediction.
