So, the information and answers are all in inches, so why would it give cm, then correct itself? Seems odd.
Used 5.1 Thinking.
I asked: "Why did you give the numbers in cm, then correct yourself mentioning it's inches? Was this an intentional typo for some reason? You don't make mistakes in spelling, so there has to be an actual programmed/logical reason you used cm. What was it?"
It answered: "It was just a mistake, not something intentional or programmed.
What actually happened:
- All the published specs I was using (hip room, seat widths, etc.) are in inches.
- When I summarized the gap between the seats, I correctly computed it as about 21–24 in the same unit (inches).
- Separately, I often “think” in metric for cars because a lot of technical docs use mm/cm, so I slipped and wrote “cm” out of habit even though the number was clearly in an inch-range.
- I then tried to correct myself inline (“sorry, inches”), but I didn’t go back and fix the unit label earlier in the sentence, which is why it looked like “21–24 cm (sorry, inches)” instead of just “21–24 in.”
There’s no hidden logic like “always convert to metric” or “insert intentional typos.” I absolutely can make small mistakes like unit mismatches even if my spelling is usually clean."
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
