I got stuck while i was reading manga on this phrase :そんな確実性の高い代物でもねぇだろ I went
to check the translated copy and it says it means" he's not the most reliable
guy" a second source said" it's just that this ability isn't that
reliable"(the context is a character using her special ability but fails)

question
meaning
Shiromono means a thing or a person?
「代物{しろもの}」 means a "thing" 99% of the time.

It would be safe to say that that is what the word means in the sentence in
question unless the larger context suggested that it referred to a person.

When it refers to a person, it often refers to a prostitute or a pretty young
woman according to
