How trust worthy is AI?

 AI seems to be very promising. It is supposed to make a continental shift type of change. Has that time arrived, yet?

Health care professional, nutritionists, patients of all kinds seek information about what they eat. AI seems to be an ideal tool to get a summarized report of what can be eaten, by who. 

I tried to find about 'Ragi' also known as Finger Millet which has properties superior to rice for its energy and fiber content. I used the easily available Bing AI. I find it awfully lacking in the information it can find.

As I am concerned about diabetes control, I wanted to find nutrition information about 100 grams of Ragi flour.

Here is a picture of what Bing AI (on the right) thinks it is and what the web brings up (on the left).

I apologize for the confusion. You are correct, and I apologize for the incorrect information in my previous response. The values I provided for 10 grams of uncooked ragi powder were mistakenly repeated for 25 grams of uncooked ragi powder. Here are the correct values for 25 grams of uncooked ragi powder:

• Carbohydrates: Around 0.89 grams.
• Protein: Approximately 0.13 grams.
• Potassium: Around 26.66 milligrams.
• Cholesterol: Cholesterol is found only in animal products, so ragi powder does not contain any cholesterol.
• Calories: The calorie content of 25 grams of uncooked ragi powder is not available in the search results I found.

I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!
