I don't give a fuck if it summarized the specs correctly. It's been proven to be wrong often enough that trusting it to be correct when dealing with life and death issues is foolish.

I searched a basic spec to get a link to a manufacturer spec list. The bot offfered to vet my setup for safety. It seems you're suggesting that it's a good idea to listen to a chatbot for high voltage safety advice.

I'm not the one with the comprehension issue here.

I didn't ask for high voltage safety tips from a chatbot. It offered them. If you don't think that's dangerous and wildly irresponsible, you're being disingenuous at best and willfully ignorant at worst.

It's not me that's going to be killed. it's people that don't know enough to not trust a fucking chat bot. Do you really trust a bot to explain ground loops, isolation transformers, and floating test equipment? If so, I feel real bad for any kids you might be training.

Fuck 'gemini'. I don't trust a glorified chat bot with life and death advice. Don't be simping for a chatbot ran by an objectively evil corpo.

I don't care what the actual max voltage is. That search was a shortcut to find the manufacturer spec summary while looking at third party probes. Not 'gemini's' summary or anything else. I don't want electrical, romance, or life advice from a chatbot. I want links to relevant resources.

This just looks like you searched for a term where you knew the google ai will give some output so you can post here.

And there it is. What's your agenda? Be honest.

Never ever did google point you to a specific page of a manual when searching for some value of said manual.

That's a fucking lie! You're lying.

I was drinking my coffee, having a lazy morning, researching the capabilities of my new-to-me scope while sitting in my study. Scope is in a different room and didn't come witn a paper manual.

User manual, programming manual, and other technical docs are in the reference section of my self hosted library which is currently down, sd card or the board is on the fritz. (Calibre runs best with a desktop environment so it's on it's own little orangepi board running ubuntu or something in a gui that I remote into.)

Looking at third party probes and wanting a quick reference for the input specs. Wondering if I can get away with a 50ohm bnc cable to resistor for the external trigger or if I'm better off grabbing a cheap probe.

I'm not the one being dishonest and searching for something like this is perfectly reasonable and shouldn't result in a personified bot trying to help me fuck with lethal voltages. That's fucking crazy and defending that is a hell of a choice on your part.

Are you being deliberately obtuse, trying to 'win', or an llm fanboi?

The scope isn't even sitting in front of me. I'm just casually investigating the tooling. Looking at cheapo generic probes, wanted the manufacturer spec sheet/sales page, not the full manual. Used to be, a search like that would return a link to the manufacturer's page showing specs and documents on the product. Instead of going to rigol's site, using their shitty search or selecting submenus. It's not me that gets killed with a search like that, it's someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

It's a shortcut for pulling up the manual, 240ish pages long. I'm looking into probes, not currently fucking with 300 volts. Used to be, ask for max specs on a component and get a link to the manufacturer's or sellers summary.

I do appreciate your shitty tone and assumption of my ignorance. While I try and stay under 480V grid power, I do occasionally have to mess with it in a professional capacity. I'm safe, but someone who doesn't understand what they're playing with gets a free ride on the lightning.
