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?

A good start is this :

While it's hard to get perfect determinism you can still get very close. But really I think it's accurate to say that LLM are random because they are configured to be.
