If only you could trust Gemini or gpt to serve truthful answers.

I’m still seeing them concluding the opposite of their own source reference.

Or wildly misinterpreting a source. A few months ago, I saw an especially egregious example where, when asked for the maximum current capacity of a 22 AWG copper wire, Google's AI responded confidently with "551 amps".

The correct answer is two orders of magnitude lower, around 5-7 A. 551 A is the fusing current of that wire - i.e. the current required to make it instantly melt.
