Seriously what? You're surprised that a large language model is not a sentient being? Am I the only one who remembers that just a couple of years ago chat bots responded with "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Do you need help with booking a ticket?" to 99.999% of all questions? A bot responding with something coherent to an example like yours was complete science-fiction, and now we suddenly take it for granted and ridicule it when it's not factually correct.
