I asked it a question and it answered authoritatively.

> The impedance of a 22 μH capacitor at 400 THz is approximately 1.80 × 10^-24 Ω.

The correct answer should have been “what the hell are you talking about dumbass?”. Capacitors are not measured in henries and the question really has no meaning at 400THz. Another stochastic parrot.


The 405B model for me brings out a formula for calculating this, explains that my question doesn't make sense given that capacitors are measured in F instead and then plugs the values in assuming I made a mistake and meant 22uF.

It then explains that in practice other factors would dominate and the frequency is so high traditional analysis doesn't make so much sense.

At 400 THz any real-world capacitor will look inductive. :-P

Although it's not gonna look like 22 uH.
