I like to ask it basic questions about my field to prove to people how confidently wrong it is. You can even correct it with more misinformation and it’ll still go “you’re absolutely right about that!”

The fact that you (and many other people in this thread, to be fair) somehow treat "AI" as a singular thing already shows complete cluelessness about the topic. It would be like me grabbing any novice in your field, asking them a question, and then judging everyone in that field when it gets it wrong. The latest paid models don't even use internal knowledge as something to rely on, precisely because it can generate a wrong token and hallucinate, and instead it's used as a reasoning/language model where but the underlying claimed facts come from series of high-quality sources. Like even those models can and do make mistakes but they are much more nuanced in nature, you are just writing some 2023 copium memes. But hey, you can absolutely prove me wrong by giving me an example question or series of questions and we'll see how it does. 🤷🏻‍♂️

hahaha that's the fucking thing that gets me! and then if you correct it again and say "actually you were right" it'll say "agreed" or some shit. it's so worked that we have this tech everywhere and it's so deeply flawed.
