I just gave Perplexity (free version) two questions where I know how GPT
responded.

"How do I configure OSPF export filters on Arista EOS?"
This answer was accurate, in fact it was more concise than what I got from
chat GPT.

"How do you configure an XGS-PON interface on the Nokia ISAM 7360?"
This answer was wrong.  Now, to be fair, Nokia has a lot of products, and I
think what it gave me was the correct commands for a different Nokia
product.  It's the right sort of syntax you'd see on a Lucent/Alcatel/Nokia
product, it's just wrong for the ISAM 7360.

Another difference between those questions is Arista's documentation is
freely available on the web whereas Nokia's documentation requires an
account and login to access.  The reason I'd look for help on Nokia is
specifically because the commands can vary, and the documentation is too
much to digest for a mere human.  The doc package for the ISAM 7360 is
>20,000 pages.  That's not counting release notes, white papers, forum
posts, and technical notes.  So this is the exact sort of thing I really
would like help researching and it gave me a wrong answer on the first
test.

I followed up with "These instructions may be for a different Nokia
product. Are you sure they will work on 7360 ISAM?"  It provided several
citations and concluded, "....therefore the instructions I provided should
be applicable to the 7360."

The first citation is a reddit post about configuring the ports on an NT
(ethernet) card.  It apparently learned the naming convention of PON ports
from another source and adapted the instructions on reddit using the NT
card command syntax and inserting the PON port names.  That's an impressive
bit of learning and correlating sources, and it's the sort of thing a human
might try while learning the platform.  It's still wrong though.
