I asked it about how to use etc with three dots in an example followed by a brand new sentence starting with a capital letter afterward.

It told me : / In standard usage, "etc." is typically followed by three dots and then continues with a lowercase letter. If you are starting a new sentence, you do not add additional dots after "etc." /

Then I begged it to give me an example of that rule. One such as:
I love swimming, soccer, etc... I also love eating animals.

And it just couldn't do that. It kept typing 4 dots or single dot or no dots at all, and it can't even recognize what it typed every single time. Lol try it yourself

well it's even worse if it just totally made that freaking rule up out of its algorithm xD
