This lil robot was trained to know facts and communicate via natural language.

Oh stop it. It does not know what a fact is. It does not understand the question you ask it nor the answer it gives you. It's a very expensive magic 8ball. It's worse at maths than a 1980s calculator because it does not know what maths is let alone how to do it, not because it's somehow emulating how bad the average person is at maths. Get a grip.
