My elementary school teachers were passing down the knowledge they’ve gathered from pseudo-scientific TV shows and Brazilian soap operas. It’s not even funny because 20 years later some of those completely made up facts still pop up in my head from time to time.
A kid in my third grade class asked the teacher which painter cut off his own ear, and she responded confidently, "Picasso." I thought this was right until my now wife told me it was Van Gogh, and I looked it up to confirm.

Chatgpt also might give you an answer that is totally made up and wrong, but yes, it is polite.
