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?

    It might be because I have “plus” (or whatever) and get it to use the “thinking” model - one would hope this produces more reliable, reasoned, and accurate results.

    This precise issue is the reason I’m not on Reddit: I got banned from Reddit for describing Israel as genocidal.

    So I, also, am pleased to see that (for me at least) it is giving such a nuanced and fair answer.

    So far the only clear example of political bias I’ve found is in history questions relating to colonialism in India. When asked about why the answers were so one-sided and biased it said that it was using a “corrective approach” and was reflecting a bias in the academic literature from which its answers were derived.

    I had to prompt it to give an answer with the opposite bias (which it did) or a more balanced description.

    Certainly not perfect. Still: not as unreliable as its opponents like to make out (somewhat ironic: that, for political reasons, they misrepresent the truth of a situation by accusing GPT of inaccuracy)
