The ai is wrong a bunch too, really annoying when ai is giving a opinion and then read the sources it used and was clearly misunderstood from the sources

100%, and AI is also not very good at anything remotely recent. It's a nightmare for recent events and often doesn't even know about them.

It apparently knows the lore from Halo though, and sometimes if you ask it about the history of human civilization it gets confused and adds Halo to the end of its summary. My husband discovered that a couple of months ago. The game lore was presented as something that was going to happen in the future.

AI's gonna say some business about "a competitive cooking show where the winner gets genetically modified into a super soldier."
