Your specific wording is telling it to make up an answer.
What "would" this word mean? Implying it doesn't mean anything currently, so guess a meaning for it.
But yes, in general always assume they don't know what they are saying, as they aren't really capable of knowing. They do a really good job of mimicking knowledge, but they don't actually know.
Yes that is true and thanks for pointing it out. If Im being honest here I wasnt even sure if Batrapeton was a valid name and the reason I was searching it up was to make a blatantly amphibian coded name that also wasnt already a real creature that someone had already named and described otherwise I would have to go look for a different name but every name I could come up with seemed to already be taken and described by someone or the other so I decided to google it just in case and saw that there was nothing on them chatgpt had just made that up. I wish AI had a thing in which it could inform the user that "this is what it would possibly be but it doesnt actually exist" instead of just guessing like that.
