    The first two examples I really like since you’re able to verify them easily before using them, but for the math one, how to you know it gave you the right answer?

      How could I possibly verify this answer:

      Hey GPT, there’s an even that starts on Monday, and will last 400h. When will it end?

      400 hours is exactly 16 days and 16 hours.

      Next Monday (from today, Friday May 9 2025) falls on May 12 2025.

      Add 16 days → May 28 2025

      Add the remaining 16 hours → 4:00 PM

      So, if your event kicks off at 00:00 on Monday, May 12, it will wrap up at 4 PM on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.

        I like to use sites that programmatically calculate this kind of thing, that’s how I would verify it. But if I was going to do that, I’d just use it to begin with.
