Wow, that is impressive how the AI managed to get the correct star classification. Wolf-Rayet stars are pretty hot, anywhere from 20,000 Kelvin to 200,000 Kelvin.Another test for AI on a spectrum of a very rare type of star known as a Wolf–Rayet star - Wikipedia.
The subject is a binary star system identified as a Gamma Velorum where the brighter component Suhail has a distinctive spectrum as shown in my image.
GPT-4o was asked to identify what type of object produced this spectrum and if possible identity the star.

Here is the full detail.
It correctly identified the object as a Wolf-Rayet star, the class WC8 and the carbon emission lines but missed the Hα peak and could not specifically identify the object as Suhail.
Still quite an impressive feat.
