    Thank you oofy doofy.
    Was that chatgpt? How reliable do you find it? I have heard it can hallucinate and lie sometimes.

      I used bard in this instance. You can be more or less specific with it. Sometimes ChatGPT isn't as good as Bard. Personally I think bard is a little better. Bing Search and the Bing phone app has Chatgpt v4.0 built-in. Bard will give a variation of answers and you can read all of them and garner good information most of the time.
