It cannot extrapolate well. It's a good data dump, assembler of information. I don't like that I expect quick, true, reliable, helpful answers from it. It will make most brains atrophy. Plus, you should question everything it says. All must be independently verified. You get different answers from different AI. It will tell you A in one paragraph, and not-A in another. Particularly annoying when it comes to computer specs. Confabulation of the generations and the hardware, as well as the solutions. It's a tool, a socket wrench. No more.
