It can't handle things it's not trained on very well, or at least not anything substantially different from what it was trained on.
It can usually apply rules it's trained on to a small corpus of data in its training data. Give me a list of female YA authors. But when you ask it for something more general (how many R's there are in certain words) it often fails.
