    I did a google search to find out how much i pay for water, the water department where I live bills by the MCF (1,000 cubic feet). The AI Overview told me an MCF was one million cubic feet. It’s a unit of measurement. It’s not subjective, not an opinion and AI still got it wrong.

          The only thing that would make more sense would be if the bill was in cuneiform.

          Kilo is a small k as there wasn’t a person named that.

      Shouldn’t it be kcf? Or tcf if you’re desperate to avoid standard prefixes?

      Yeah, that’s an odd one. My city does water by the gallon, which is much more reasonable.
