What question can I ask ChatGPT, right now, that will reliably produce a factually incorrect, wrong, or false answer? (lemmy.world)

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?

ChatGPT is a glorified search engine but worse. Everything it says came from stuff it steals from people. But it doesn't care how or why. So its easy for it to grab the wrong thing and now we have AI reading from other AI.

    Ok...so prove how shit it is by giving me a single question that I can ask it right now where it will give me the wrong information.

    Your point is entirely reductionist: it's a "glorified search engine" that processes all of the search results with a breadth and speed most people either cannot or will not (due to time constraints) do, in seconds, and then gives an answer that is superior to any of the individual sources it bases that answer on.

    It also expresses that answer in highly adaptable ways: e.g. it can express the final answer in a way suitable for a child or a postgraduate expert, or a person who learns best through answers written in a style that combines Norse Sagas and Shakespeare.
