It’s just asking it m to find sources from excerpts. I don’t think this is something they have been trained on with much emphasis is it?

Yeah, this isn't a general test of "factualness", it's a very narrow and specific subset of capability that many of these AIs were not designed for.

That being said, it does not change my already poor opinion of generative AI.
