copilot did the same with basic math. just to test it I said "let's say I have a 10x6 rectangle. what number would I have to divide width and height by, in order to end up with a rectangle that's half the area?"
it said "in order to make it half, you should divide them by 2. so [pointlessly lengthy steps explaining the divisions]"
I said "but that would make the area 5x3 = 15 units which is not half the area of 60"
it said "you're right! in order to ... [fixing the answer to √2 using approximation"
I don't know if I said it then, or after some other fucking nonsense but when I said "you're useless" it had the fucking audacity to take offense and end the conversation!

Whatever I do is profound, meaningful, with endless possibilities for future greatness...
... even though I'm just talking out of my ass 99% of the time...
... and if you have the audacity, the nerve, to have a completely normal reaction when you determine that that is what I am doing, pshaw, how uncouth, I won't stand for your abuse!
...
