Are you building the site from the same json files that are used in the game?

AIs are still computer programs and are not given the resources to render javascript, so they cannot access the game data from the website. And they obviously don't have it in their parameters. BTW Google Gemini Pro just told me that they know the game but did not know the value. Actually, it points out that it is a known trap for AI to confidently give a wrong, hallucinated value. Maybe it had already seen this thread and integrated it in their parameters or fine tuning. I don't know...

Gemini Fast confidently gives me a wrong value. But very quickly! I'll attach the entire Gemini response as a sub-reply.

The json thing is what makes it particularly surprising.

It’s literally ’gameconstants.js’ with an item list that has a .name string and a .armor value that it could look up. But when I pointed it to the file and told it which row to read from, still chose to make something up instead of read the data designed to be read by computers.

I do like how your ai tries to cover for its buddies with lies about there not being any documentation online. Because pointing AIs to a specific page and asking them to read the numbers there is a known trap.
