It utterly fails at most music related things:

Q: please tell me the fingerings for the C scale on the trumpet

A: Sure! To play the C scale on the trumpet, use the following fingerings:

C: 1st valve

D: 1st and 2nd valves

E: 1st and 3rd valves

F: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd valves

G: open (no valves pressed)

A: 2nd valve

B: 3rd valve

C: open (no valves pressed)

Keep in mind that these are the most common fingerings for the C scale, but other fingerings are possible and may be more comfortable for some players. It's also important to practice your scales regularly in order to improve your technique and control. Happy practicing!

It's been a long time since I played trumpet, but aren't those incorrect?

On a regular Bb trumpet, this is the D (major) scale, so D should be 1-3 unless it's in the second octave (in which case this sequence is still wrong).

Looks like ChatBot ain't gonna take our musical jerbs anytime soon!

Yeah they're incorrect. There goes my plan of an AI finally efficiently & effectively teaching me music theory.
Q A C D E F G A B C is surely a weird scale to play in. :-)
I did similar tests with the bot about chords scales and time signature. His ignorance and general stupidity on that matter, coupled with overconfidence and extreme insistence on wrong outputs, is really funny.

Sounds like it was trained on every comment section everywhere!
It sounds like you're talking to an overconfident Julliard student on day 1 before they realize everyone there is just as good or better.
I asked it to produce "ascii drum tablature for a cool beat", or "what's the ascii guitar tab for the main riff in Metallica's Seek and Destroy", and in both cases it makes something that kind of looks like drum tablature or guitar tablature, but is basically nonsense.
