A friend asked for recommendations on folktales where weaving and spinning plays an important role.

The recommended the Ugly Duckling.
When asked why, it said "the duckling makes magical clothes for the prince." 😂

This will probably change in the future, but right now, AI is very, very bad at folklore questions.

(Last time I asked it about mythical creatures in China, and it made up an entire nonexistent chapter of Journey to the West...)

@TarkabarkaHolgy It's not just folklore. For the time being, the "hard" information AI services give should not be trusted, as they are mostly "autocorrect on steroids" (heard a scientist use this expression and really liked it). A few months ago I was doing research for a program (I'm a TV writer), tried to use ChatGPT to save me some googling and asked it for some articles on my subject. It gave me some articles, sure, but it made them all up!
