This makes very little sense (as a contrast to chatgpt predicted that the likely continuation of factorial and 5 is 120).

Perhaps if you are able to share the chat session it's possible to see if you likely confused the issue with various factorial implementations - or got chatgpt to run your code with 5 as input?

I mean the code is redundant:

Do a google search with 'before:2020' on that code, that is recall from pre-training, not 'calculating'

I misread gp's comment, we're in agreement.
