The place where I live, electricity is cheap, and my house doesn't have any gas lines. Every time that I 'chat' about household appliances, heating, etc this bot keeps insisting that natural gas is very important and the way to go. It's weird. Here's my favourite interaction so far:

"For example, a high-efficiency gas-fired boiler may have an efficiency rating of 90% or more, which means that 90% of the energy in the fuel is converted into usable heat.

In contrast, electric boilers have a much lower efficiency rating, typically in the range of 95% to 100%."

This mirrors my experience with it. I had complicated conversations about it where it didn't return answers, but advised me on how to plan projects. It was almost human.

And then it could just not cope with comparison words like higher/lower, more/less, etc.
