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?

    Anytime you get into specifics instead of surface level knowledge it starts getting wildly inaccurate while still being confident af.

    Off the top of my head I asked it about EDODF (error diffusion with output dependent feedback), a dithering algorithm dating back to 1999, and a very important milestone in halftoning for print.

    At first it told me it’s not sure what I’m talking about, so I elaborated and extended the acronym. At that point it confidently hallucinated absolute garbage based on its interpretation of the name.

    If you want to check chatgpt’s answers about edodf (or many other concepts) against a proven and cited source written by human I highly recommend Modern digital halftoning.

    Not trying to be rude, but maybe the questions you are benchmarking it against in your stated fields of experitse are rather basic?
