   I know this is kind of niche, but just for kicks I asked ChatGPT to   
   generate a PL/I version of a structure. I have to say I'm surprised that   
   it even knew what PL/I is, but I was more surprised that it   
   "hallucinated" some non-existent syntax. I thought it had to be me, but   
   I researched it and couldn't find it in any compiler or dialect.
