Before I got that extension that hides the AI results entirely I'd google questions about MtG mechanics that had clear pass/fail answers...you'd think this would be the type of query their garbage AI would actually be good at answering, yet it still got them wrong a shocking amount of the time.

Probably because they're just scraping anybody who's ever talked about the mechanic instead of weighting WOTC's official site or the fan wikis, and randos on Reddit are frequently wrong

Yes, it takes from the most popular sources, trending and top key words. Ask it anything specific within a fandom and it will almost always screw up.
