There are a bunch of well-known areas where popular calculators tend to give incorrect answers: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/resources/example...

It’s mostly fine until it isn’t. AI will probably operate in the same capacity. We already have so much incorrect information out there that’s part of our pop culture. Even down to things like the fact that Darth Vader never said, “Luke, I am your father,” and Mae West never said, “Why don’t you come see me sometime?”

Even basic movie quotes are beyond our ability to get right. Hilariously, I just asked ChatGPT about these quotes and it explained that these are common misquotes, told me what was actually said in these movies, and explained some relevant context.

Sherlock never said, “Elementary, my dear Watson” even once in the books. Kirk never said, “Beam me up, Scotty.” We’re much less correct than we like to think. And somehow we’ve survived.

ChatGPT is fallible just like we are. We’ll manage, just like we always have.

I have another theory about all those quotes. Regarding that Darth Vader quote, if quoted exactly, i.e. "I am you father", it isn't immediately obvious the quote is from Star Wars. "Luke" gives you a context. Sherlock and Kirk quotes are synthesized from what the characters actually said, and arguably the precise wording doesn't matter, because the point of the quote is to bring up images of the characters and situations, not of those specific words.
