That's a good point, Rich.  But I would never ask 10 random people.  And 
if I did, they'd all say they don't know.  ChatGPT blithely gave me an 
answer that was totally wrong.  And when I challenged it, it agreed, but 
continued spouting nonsense.

It's like the old put-down joke: "It ain't what he don't know. It's what 
he knows that ain't true."
