    Happy cake day, and this absolutely. I figured out its game the first time I asked it a spec for an automotive project I was working on. I asked it the torque specs for some head bolts and it gave me the wrong answer. But not just the wrong number, the wrong procedure altogether. Modern engines have torque to yield specs, meaning essentially you torque them to a number and then add additional rotation to permanently distort the threads to lock it in. This car was absolutely not that and when I explained back to it the error it had made IT DID IT AGAIN. It sounded very plausible but someone following those directions would have likely ruined the engine.

    So, yeah, test it and see how dumb it really is.
