Ask it what is a good book on some expert topic, and it will make up book titles!

It will also just make up book quotes...

> show book quotes that mention the time 16:36

That was from a previously classified martial edition of P&P written for the CIA.

The quote is incorrect due to a typo. She went to the kitchen to locate her granola bear to take on the reconnaissance trip to St. Petersburg.
