Earlier today I googled how to toggle full screen in dosbox-x and the AI-generated answer said to use alt+enter. Tried it and it didn't work, so I look in the documentation and it turns out that they changed it to F12+f a while ago (probably to avoid interfering with actual dos input).

This is definitely already a problem.

Every LLM is shit at dealing with version changes. They don't understand it as a concept, despite all their training data.
