Hardly surprising that some new tech has some glitches

Only a fool like you refuses to use it when it gets 90% right

90% is nowhere near good enough. Great if it tells you to buy some part 
for a VY Commodore, which is actually for a VZ, wasting your dollars and 
time.

You are free to use more than one and compare their results

You are free to check if its right when you use

This reveals how little reasoning and cross-checking really goes on
when these AIs answer questions:

Scientists invented an obviously fake illness, and AI spread it
like truth within weeks
https://www.osnews.com/story/144787/scientists-invented-an-obviously-fake-illness-and-ai-spread-it-like-truth-within-weeks/

This seems to be the fact some people here can't get their head
around:

"This shouldn't come as a surprise. After all, "AI" tools have no 
 understanding, no intelligence, no context, and they can't actually 
 make sense of anything. They are glorified pachinko machines with 
 the output - the ball - tumbling down the most likely path between 
 the pins based on nothing but chance and which pins it has already 
 hit. "AI" output understands the world about as much as the 
 pachinko ball does, and as such, can't pick up on even the most 
 obvious of cues that something is a fake or a forgery."

More mindless bullshit, you don't need any of that
to check how authoritative a particular source is

Same as everything: Model the language structure of essays found on
the web then reformat text believed relevent to the topic according
to that model. This is the basis of the Large Language Models. Real
AI is what's now being called "Artificial General Intelligence",
the LLMs are a shortcut method that doesn't bother with
understanding things but figures out how words go together in
relevent ways, without regard to whether the words they're
rearrangeing are completely irrelevent or in this case obviously
nonsensical. Hence the convincing BS it shovels onto you when it
hasn't found the equivalent of good search results and reformats
words from irrelevent texts instead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_General_Intelligence

AI generated images of people missing fingers are another example -
it doesn't know what a finger is, and the model is built on example
images where fingers are sometimes visible and sometimes not, so it
follows a model of similar visual characteristics and produces
something obviously wrong.

Just did this one,
https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_ff894a2f-e630-4557-92e9-435a87b51d91

That result is nothing even remotely like what you would
get from a glorified pachinko machine and yes I got that
question from that news item in the ABC Just In feed and
didnt get as useful a result from google

I get this page from a brewery by searching for "handles of beer"
with Duck Duck Go, which contradicts the "425-450mL" range given
in your AI answer ans disputes that it's the same as a schooner
in the NT:

https://stoneandwood.com.au/blogs/all/our-guide-to-australias-beer-sizes-and-names

"The Northern Territory's beer sizes
 
 The Northern Territory's more tropical weather makes larger sizes 
 slightly less popular to the average drinker, as they go warm quick 
 if not enjoyed fast enough.
 
 Ask for a handle of beer if you're after a 285mL, smaller beer to 
 enjoy (although middy or pot are generally accepted too). These may 
 come with a handle, so you don't warm the beer too quickly holding 
 it in your hand.
 
 Schooners are the same as most other regions of Australia, coming 
 in at 425mL. Pints and jugs are also the same at 570mL and 1,140mL."

The grok response accurately points out that
the volume varys with the location, fuckwit

But inaccurately states the volume only varies between in range of
425-450mL and always matches a schooner.

Your question to the AI never mentioned any location. It was
speaking about all of Australia and in the NT it could be way off.

It says it over and over from the start:

"18 handles of beer" refers to 18 schooners (or pints) of beer in
 Australian slang"
"A "handle" is a common term for a schooner"
"So, "18 handles" means the person drank 18 schooners"

Which is no excuse for providing an answer that doesn't apply in
the NT when it doesn't even know for sure that the ABC article was
what prompted your question. Plus it clearly said it applied
Australia-wide.

Well my source is an Australian brewery, your Artificial Idiot's
source is... nothing. No cites except the very ABC article that
prompted your question. So there's no way to judge the accuracy
of its statement since you can only guess where it might have got
the info from.

Pity about

	A “handle” is a common term for a schooner —
	a beer glass with a handle, typically holding around
	425–450 ml (about 15 oz) of beer, depending on the state.

Yeah, sources full of random Reddit discussions, which it probably
paid attention to instead of better results like the brewery I
found. But since it doesn't say specifically where it got those
facts it stated from, you can't tell. Useless.

No, it only talked about the term being used in the NT, and for the
same 285ml quanity as a "middy" or "pot" in other sates. Plus it
didn't know where you were asking about anyway so shouldn't assume
what it "normally means" there.

You say it did correctly pick the article that prompted your
question:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-14/pedestrian-death-flinders-island-coroner-dismissal/106562466

So I did a web search for "coronial findings tasmania" and found
the actual coroner's report that had prompted the article here:

https://www.magistratescourt.tas.gov.au/coronerscourt/findings/coronialfindings/2026/Investigation-into-the-death-of-David-Stanley-Bailey-Ruling.pdf

Footnote number 6, on page 3, is of interest:

"6 A handle of beer is 285mls in volume."

So your Artificial Idiot lied about the quantity meant in the exact
article that prompted your question! Its total quantity would be
off by at least 2.52L!

An intelligent web search on the other hand helps get you the
actual answer from the source of the article that prompted your
question, instead of that useless AI BS.

Just because that fuckwit got that wrong...

No one serves 285mls of beer in a glass with a handle

The fuckwit coroner actually got it wrong
