I believe ChatGPT generally gives accurate answers to most questions. Certainly: it produces answers that are more reliably true than a random average person. Obviously it cannot yet do advanced programming tasks: but generally it answers questions accurately.

Prove my position wrong.

What can I ask it that will produce factually incorrect answers?

As a side quest, a much easier one, what can I ask it that would cause it to produce extremely biased answers that fail to do justice to the truth of things?

    Mine gets it right, might be my plus subscription:

    “There are 4 es in “seventeen”.”

    Took it about ten seconds to solve that enigma though…

      The voice version will, i confusingly said chat when i meant voice. The carwash example will get it wrong(both voice and chat), at least it did on 5.4.

        So, we might find these bizarre scenarios that confuse the system (based on our own deceptions): but basically it’s answering questions pretty reliably right?

        Fundamentally anti-AI people are overstating the problem.

          No it’s not. It will get it plain wrong. The seventeen example it may get right sometimes but for the carwash example I haven’t seen it ever produce the correct result. Weirdly enough people also get this wrong but still. See https://opper.ai/blog/car-wash-test
