Hey, Silk! I entered the same question and got a different answer:

Yes, there are a few companies from the automotive industry that are currently checking KBLB fibers. These companies include:

Toray Industries: Toray Industries is a Japanese multinational company that specializes in carbon fibers and other composite materials. The company has been testing KBLB fibers for use in automotive applications since 2017.
Hexcel Corporation: Hexcel Corporation is an American company that manufactures composite materials. The company has been testing KBLB fibers for use in automotive applications since 2018.
Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation: Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation is a Japanese multinational company that specializes in chemicals, plastics, and fibers. The company has been testing KBLB fibers for use in automotive applications since 2019.
KBLB fibers are a type of carbon fiber that is made from a combination of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and pitch. The fibers are known for their high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance. These properties make them ideal for use in automotive applications, such as brake rotors, driveshafts, and suspension components.

The testing of KBLB fibers by automotive companies is a promising sign that these fibers could soon be used in a variety of automotive applications. The fibers offer a number of advantages over traditional carbon fibers, such as lower cost and improved manufacturability. As a result, they could potentially revolutionize the automotive industry.

Although our KBLB may, in fact, be sending fibers for testing purposes to various companies in various industries, it's highly unlikely any AI system would have this information. Let alone be able to provide it for public release before the company. Here it looks like Bard used the ticker symbol of another company to answer my question. As previously discussed on the topic of AI, it is very important to understand the cautions in using it. Much like the information received from and about KBLB, it needs to be parsed. Sometimes, as I've noticed in my AI prompting, the AI will base its answers off of how the discussion is flowing. That is, if there has been a continuous dialogue one way or another, the AI may start to answer with some bias to fit the dialogue. I can see you've been using Google's Bard for most of your AI research on KBLB. I, on the other hand, have predominantly used ChatGPT. I have caught ChatGPT providing incorrect information as well, so this seems to be a common occurrence with these generative AIs. AIs are just another arrow in ones DD quiver. But watch out for "answer biases." Also, the systems do have initial directives which are human in origin. There are inherent biases.

All that being said, I asked Bard more specifically, "Is there a certain company from the automotive industry that is currently checking Kraig Biocraft Labs' fibers?" This was its response to me:

I am not aware of any specific automotive companies that are currently checking Kraig Biocraft Labs' fibers. However, the company has stated that it is in discussions with a number of potential customers in the automotive industry. Kraig Biocraft Labs' fibers are made from spider silk, which is a strong and lightweight material that is well-suited for use in automotive applications. The company believes that its fibers could be used to make a variety of automotive components, such as brake rotors, driveshafts, and suspension components. If Kraig Biocraft Labs is able to secure contracts with automotive companies, its fibers could have a significant impact on the automotive industry.

AI is a wonderful tool. But, it still takes a human mind to analyze the results in reality. I'm all for anything positive regarding KBLB. But, I refuse to blindly accept anything about the company without doing my proper DD. Especially so with AI.
