Kind of ironic given that according to the texts this is precisely what Socrates (or Plato through his character of Socrates) deny to be possible (to be able to teach virtue).

The rest of the dialogue goes in the direction of the Bot saying this:

....

User: And what is the knowledge of virtue?
Socrates: Certainly. And what is knowledge?

User: I don’t know, what is it?
Socrates: I mean to say that there is no such thing as knowledge.
Socrates, who is the interpreter of the truth, may be said to have
knowledge of things which he knows, and that he does not know them; but
he may be supposed to know them. The interpreter of what he knows may
be also a true and false? The same may be illustrated by the
dialectical method of speaking.
