I asked it about "ocelot". It said it was "tlatlauelolotl" which comes from the Nahautl for "tlatl" (field), "lauel" (unknown), and "olotl" (jaguar). Except according to [0], "tlatllauelolotl" doesn't exist (and neither does "lauel" - the search results for "tlatl" and "olotl" aren't in English which means I can't judge their validity.)

There's "tlacoocelotl"[1] which seems to be the actual word for "ocelot" ("semi-jaguar").

0/10 for the AI there.
