Huh. So there really is a 凤凰血. Weird how when I tried it (on several AIs) they just made shit up instead of giving me that information.
It's almost like how you ask the question determines how it answers instead of, you know, using objective reality. Almost as if it has no actual model of objective reality and is just a really sophisticated game of mad-libs.
Almost.
This was the first result I got, but I passed it by since it's not actually a band.
