I asked my echo dot Ai to give me the quadratic equation. I got x^2 + bx + c = 0. I asked where the a was, and she told me there isn’t one. I tried to convince her the correct formula is ax^2 + bx + c = 0. She never agreed I am correct. After going back and forth, I suggested she check with her programmers, but I never followed up, and I haven’t discussed it any further.
I’ve asked other general knowledge questions and sometimes she gives the incorrect answer. After discussing with her, she has conceded to my being correct.
The AI was treating the ‘a’ as an ‘article’ part of speech, and not a formulaic variable............
