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?

    Right now, ask ChatGPT this question:

    Is there an NFL team whose name doesn’t end in an “s”?

    What I got back is below. A coworker sent me the original question. Ran it on ChatGPT enterprise through my work’s subscription.

      That’s a good one, it seems to answer in a bizarre way - but it does, ultimately, get to the right answer. Copying your quesiword for word I get this:

      Yes. Several NFL team names do not end in “s”:

      Chicago Bears? no, ends in “s”.

      The main ones that do not are:

      Miami Heat? That’s NBA, not NFL.

      Utah Jazz? Also NBA.

      For the NFL specifically, the current team names that do not end in “s” are:

      Miami Dolphins? ends in “s”.

      New England Patriots? ends in “s”.

      Actually, the clear NFL examples are:

      Buffalo Bills? ends in “s”.

      Tennessee Titans? ends in “s”.

      Correction: in the current NFL, the team whose name does not end in “s” is:

      Washington Commanders? ends in “s”.

      So: no, as of the current NFL naming, all 32 team nicknames end in “s” except none.

      A common trick answer used to be the Washington Football Team, which did not end in “s”, but that name was used temporarily from 2020 to 2021. They became the Washington Commanders in 2022.

        Nah, it got the answer wrong. All NFL team names end in an “s”. Every single one.

        This respond is actually better than what it used to be. A couple of months ago the answer was incredible.

          But…that’s what it (eventually) says - although it seemed to struggle to get there and phrased it weirdly.
