why not? you can even ask the ai if you don't know
There's no guarantee that it will tell you the truth. It could tell you to use Elmer's glue to keep the cheese from falling off your pizza. The AI doesn't "know" or "understand," it just does as its training set informed it to. It's just a very complex predictive text that you can give commands to.
Are you trolling? I can't tell. Obviously an AI can not tell you anything about it. It will indeed tell you something but with 0 ability to prove if it's correct or not, no reasoning, only something statistically plausible.
