    Did you use something like g**gle gemini? I have had similar inaccuracies when checking info & tend to avoid. The thing with AI answers is that they are scraped from random sources on the internet including unhelpful or inaccurate ones. And I too have found that you can ask the same question twice & get different answers.

    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!

    Absolutely @foxgloves, such a shame something as astounding as the internet isn't in any way fit for purpose!

    Ooh thanks @dawnybabes will have a gander

    I also think that we live in a slightly off kilter world and that AI scrapes answers from very random places. I found a fabulous answer to a technical question using AI and then never found it again which made me think it was inaccurate. Oh for the old days of encyclopaedias!

    Its clear that AI LLMs really DO hallucinate 🤔😱 so definitely not a good idea to just accept the search results as infallible.

    Big walk. Randomly dreamt about amethyst a few nights ago. I don't think I've ever dreamt of amethyst before so thought I'd use my leftover birthday money and go and get a small piece 😊 Took myself for a pint to celebrate. Happy Friday everyone 🍻

    Maybe there is some meaning to amethyst for you right by?

    So random @Sun_Addict, I don't think I've ever dreamt of any crystals or anything even vaguely in that category before!

    Haven't the foggiest notion @Watty1, it's not something (to my knowledge) I saw or read about or remembered a memory of. Wasn't that sort of dream either. But I trust my dreams and had a tenner available that was specially kept aside for something right, so if nothing else I had a nice walk and a nice interaction and have a beautiful piece to be pleased at the existence of 😊
