Yeah, I measured the bolt I had and gave it the outer diameter in mm and the thread per mm. Just asking it blind would have given me all sorts of guesses.

I once had to get new bolts in imperial. So I grabbed a metric bolt that was closest to it and went to the hardware store and eye balled it.

No mess, no fuss, no issues.

I do this all the time for work. Better yet, because it's local hardware, I ask the old guy employee who's been there a hundred years to help me find it. Only time is failed is when they didn't have what I needed in the exact metal I wanted. They had it in zinc though 🤷‍♂️

I'll still use AI for stuff, but it's good to talk to people too sometimes
