I get very wrong and dangerous answers from AI frequently.

I just searched "what's the ld50 of caffeine" and it says:

> 367.7 mg/kg bw

This is the ld50 of rats from this paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27461039/

This is higher than the ld50 estimated for humans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeinism

> The LD50 of caffeine in humans is dependent on individual sensitivity, but is estimated to be 150–200 milligrams per kilogram of body mass (75–100 cups of coffee for a 70 kilogram adult).

Good stuff, Google.
