Is the response correct? Can I reliably use AI to study music?

show me the g major flat five scale ( A question that I ask Gemini AI)

The scale you are requesting, the G Major ♭5 scale, is typically referred to as the G Lydian ♭5 scale (also known as Lydian Diminished).

This scale is derived from the Lydian mode, but the perfect fifth is lowered by a half step to become a diminished fifth (♭5), creating a unique, somewhat tense, but still major-quality sound (due to the major third).

🎼 G Lydian ♭5 (G Major ♭5)
The notes and interval structure for the G Lydian♭5 scale are:

Scale Degree Interval Formula Note in G
1 Root G
2 Major Second A
3 Major Third B
♯4 Augmented Fourth C$\sharp$
♭5 Diminished Fifth D$\flat$
6 Major Sixth E
7 Major Seventh F$\sharp$
Key Characteristic
The Augmented Fourth (C♯) and the Diminished Fifth (D♭) are enharmonic notes (meaning they sound the same, a tritone) but are spelled differently here to accurately represent the diminished fifth interval relative to the root G.

This specific structure (1, 3, ♭5, 7) is the formula for the Major Seven Flat Five chord (Maj7♭5), a chord frequently used in jazz music.

Would you like to see the notes for the standard G Lydian mode, or perhaps the G Locrian mode which also has a ♭5?
