Checking to see if ChatGPT knows about Funana, but apparently ChatGPT thinks Pat Lee might also be Hyung-Tae Kim.

Conversation with ChatGPT:
You: What other names are comic artist Pat Lee known by?
ChatGPT: Pat Lee is primarily known by his birth name, but he has also used the pseudonym "Hyung-Tae Kim" in some instances. Additionally he has worked under the name "Pat Lee Productions" for his artistic endeavors.
You: In what instances did Pat Lee use the pseudonym Hyung-Tae Kim?
ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion, but it seems there might have been a misunderstanding. Pat Lee and Hyung-Tae Kim are actually two separate individuals, each with their own distinct style and body of work.
Pat Lee is a Canadian comic book artist and the co-founder of Dreamwave Productions, known for his work on titles like "Transformers" and "Darkminds."
Hyung-Tae Kim, on the other hand, is a South Korean artist and video game character designer, best known for his highly stylized and detailed artwork in games such as "Magnacarta" and "Blade & Soul."
