The Irony of AI Spreading Misinformation About AI

This morning, I was on a client call. We were discussing integration options, and I thought I'd save time by asking Gemini a quick question about Inkie's API capabilities.

Gemini told me, with complete confidence, that Inkie doesn't have API or MCP integration.

Gemini was wrong.

Not a little bit wrong. Completely, confidently, categorically wrong.

Here's What Actually Exists

Inkie has both API and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. They're live. They're working. And people are actively using them right now.

Adam Turl from Fuselab Creative (@fuselab-creative) is running Inkie through his custom-built website via our API as I write this. It's not a beta test. It's not "coming soon." It's happening.

But according to Gemini, none of this exists.

The Irony Is Not Lost On Me

An AI tool just confidently spread misinformation about an AI-powered marketing platform. The thing that's supposed to help us access accurate information faster just made something up, and if I hadn't known better, I'd have believed it.

That's the problem, isn't it? It sounds authoritative. It presents information like fact. And most of us don't have time to verify every single thing an AI tells us, so we take it at face value and move on.

Except this time, it was about my own business. I knew it was wrong immediately. But how many times has Gemini (or ChatGPT, or Claude, or any other AI) told me something I didn't have the background to challenge, and I just accepted it?

Why This Actually Matters

This isn't just about Inkie's API. It's about a much bigger issue, AI hallucinations are real, and they're everywhere.

These tools are brilliant. I use them constantly. Inkie is built on them. But they are not infallible, and they should never be treated as if they are.

When you ask an AI a question, it's not searching a database of verified facts. It's predicting what words are most likely to come next based on patterns in its training data. Sometimes that prediction is accurate. Sometimes it's close enough. And sometimes, like this morning, it's completely invented.

The danger is that it presents all three scenarios with exactly the same level of confidence.

What You Can Actually Do With Inkie's API

Since Gemini couldn't tell you, I will.

If you're not on Wix or WordPress, you can still use Inkie. Our API allows you to integrate Inkie's content creation and scheduling into whatever platform you're using, whether that's a custom-built site, a headless CMS, or something else entirely.

Adam from Fuselab Creative is doing exactly that. He built his own website, connected it to Inkie via API, and now his marketing content is created, scheduled, and posted without him having to think about it.

If you've got a custom setup and you've been assuming Inkie wouldn't work for you, I'm here to tell you it absolutely can. You just need to get in touch so we can talk through how to connect it.

Always Verify, Always Question

I've said this before, and I'll keep saying it until it becomes second nature for all of us: don't blindly trust what AI tells you.

Use it. Lean on it. Let it speed things up and take some of the load off. But don't let it replace your critical thinking, and don't assume it's always right just because it sounds confident.

If something feels off, check it. If it's important, verify it. And if an AI tool tells you something definitive about a business, product, or service, go to the source and confirm it before you make decisions based on that information.

Because sometimes, the AI is just making it up. And the irony of that happening in a conversation about AI integration? Well, that's just the world we're living in now.

If You Want To Use Inkie With Your Custom Website

Get in touch. Let's talk about what you're working with and how we can connect it. The API exists. MCP integration exists. And if you've been holding back because you thought it wasn't an option, now you know it is.

Don't let misinformation, even from an AI, stop you from doing something that could actually help your business.

Just make sure you're getting your information from the right place.
