This is what the internet is telling me
You gave no links. That's not a valid reference. Neither is "the internet". You need to provide specific links (except that you'll need to do that to me by PM if you want to, since, as you will see below, I am closing this thread). I suspect that even if you provide links, it will turn out that the sources you are using are not good ones. You need to be looking at textbooks or peer-reviewed papers. In your case textbooks would be better since, as I've already said, you need to learn the basics, and that's what textbooks are for. I suggested that in one of your other recent threads; I strongly advise you to act on that suggestion.
That said, none of what you posted supports the claim of yours that you have been told is wrong. None of what you posted says that acceleration bends spacetime, or even that acceleration makes spacetime appear to be bent. The terms "gravity" or "gravitational force" are
not the same as "bending of spacetime" (although many pop science sources use sloppy wording that makes it seem like they are the same); spacetime curvature is a more specific aspect of the class of phenomena that fall under the general umbrella of "gravity". So even the (probably not very good) sources you are reading are not saying what you appear to think.

I'm sorry Peter Donis but I think that you may be wrong here
No, I'm not. It only seems to you that I am because you know nothing about the subject, whereas I know a lot. Sorry to be blunt, but I don't see the point of sugar coating things.
There's nothing wrong in itself with knowing nothing about a subject. Many years ago I was in your position: I knew nothing about relativity. I changed that by doing what I have advised you to do: I learned relativity from textbooks. And later on I learned more about it from peer-reviewed papers. I have been doing that for far longer than you have been alive (since you said in a recent thread that you are 15), but I was about your age when I started learning relativity from textbooks (my first one was Taylor & Wheeler's
Spacetime Physics, which is still a good one--it has had a new edition since I studied it), so I see no reason why you can't do what I did. And until you do, you are not in a position to even be asking good questions, let alone being able to properly understand the answers. So I really, really think you should go do that before asking more questions.

I do not mean that acceleration and gravity are the same thing, I merely mean that their effect on the curvature of spacetime is similar and in many ways indistinguishable.
And that is wrong. And it is not what any of the sources you posted from are saying.
And with that, the question you asked in the OP has been answered, and this thread is closed. You are welcome to PM me with links to the sources you posted from, and with more questions about them if you like once I have the links.
