I couldn't believe the result I got (below) from Google AI
The British royal family tree traces a lineage of 1,209 years and 37 generations, with Queen Elizabeth II’s bloodline connecting back with incredible accuracy to early monarchs. The current monarch, King Charles III, is the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and the great-grandson of King George V, who established the House of Windsor in 1917 by changing the family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha due to anti-German sentiments during World War I.

I thought it would be fun to have a photo of Lewis Hamilton driving my Lotus Elise. This was the result:

We are being encouraged and trained to use Copilot in the workplace for efficiency. I used it as a sounding board for some ideas yesterday and it was literally 180 degrees out. When I suggested it might have got mixed up it apologised, told me I was right and completely reversed its position

I haven't seen a relative for 15 years, I asked AI if she was still alive. She had a very unusual first name, the only person I have known with that first name and a less than common last name.
The answer was that she died in hospital in November 2025, it told me that she had been the director of a named company and her precise home address, for example Apartment 23, Valley View Mills, Skipton, both I knew to be true. It said that she had died in a named local hospital after a brief illness.
I was quietly fuming because I thought that other relatives should have let me know, I would have attended the funeral.
Then AI told me that she had died soon after the passing of her brother who she had been been looking after. I knew that she did not have a brother.
AI is not infallible.
