Honestly, i've had fairly good luck with AI, im not sure how yall havent, its really not that bad, I typically gotta make it bad on purpose for fun.
I don't put effort in a 30 line question with a ton of specific stuff. I just ask it a question.
What is the heaviest Pokemon?
That's it. And then it goes and finds a Pokemon that isn't the heaviest now, and at no point in the series was it ever the heaviest.
If I need multiple lines and clarification and stuff, that makes it worse than just finding it myself.
Btw heaviest Pokemon is a many way tie as the weights don't go over 999.9kg.
Like the way you asked it is conversational, so it responded like any random person would, but if you ask for it to base it on something real itll check against that
The heaviest Pokémon according to the Pokédex is Celesteela, which weighs 2204.4 lbs (999.9 kg). It’s an Ultra Beast introduced in Pokémon Sun & Moon and resembles a massive rocket.
Interestingly, the Pokédex caps weights at 999.9 kg, so Celesteela might not even be its true maximum weight!
What is the heaviest pokemon according to the pokedex? Did you try that, its not time consuming. Celesteela according to chatgpt Idk if thats right Idk pokemon
Because that's double the sentence to type for a question. It's on my search thing that is meant to be for facts. I type the minimum sentence and the normal search works perfectly fine as it always has.
Celesteela is tied first with cosmoem apparently. Searching for a list of heaviest Pokemon (typed heaviest Pokemon list) got gpt bing to respond with a list of Pokemon that are not the heaviest. Was looking for the actual list on a site, which the top link was but the AI ignored the top results of the search and spit out exclusively wrong answers.
Asking it the way you asked opens the way for opinions from internet comments everywhere, and its not necesarily wrong since itd be subjective
Asking what the heaviest anything is isn't subjective at all? Like, not even a tiny bit.
When it comes to pokemon it is, they can weigh in concepts
Ais cooked it cant even figure out what the heaviest pokemon is, is there even a reliable factual source on that on the internet its not gonna yell you no or accept that there is no answe, it cant think itll give you an answer no matter what, thats how ai hallucination works, use the tool correctly for the correct things and it works fine, use it for pointless stuff and itll be pointless
The top link of the search was a bulbapedia list of every Pokemon ordered by weight. It's not like it couldn't have gotten it. It's a static list, the old answers won't change.
