I didnt ask it about amphibians, writing or any extinct species at all. I was trying to see if a name that I wanted to use for a work of fiction wasnt already in use and if said name would make sense in the context that I wanted to use it in.

Yup. I didnt expect it either, its like it searched upto a certain point to gather info but couldnt find anything conclusive so made up the closest thing to what it found and called it a day. It does bullshit, but it does so very well.
Same. I just quit trying to correct them after a point.
Yes that is true and thanks for pointing it out. If Im being honest here I wasnt even sure if Batrapeton was a valid name and the reason I was searching it up was to make a blatantly amphibian coded name that also wasnt already a real creature that someone had already named and described otherwise I would have to go look for a different name but every name I could come up with seemed to already be taken and described by someone or the other so I decided to google it just in case and saw that there was nothing on them chatgpt had just made that up. I wish AI had a thing in which it could inform the user that “this is what it would possibly be but it doesnt actually exist” instead of just guessing like that.



Hey Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today
