    given that ChatGPT often gives you answers that sound right but are completely wrong, including - but not limited to - dates and causes of death of the very people who ask for biographical notes about themselves, made up articles, or made up legal cases, I don’t see how can anyone use it as a search engine replacement.

      Imagine being told that you’re dead.

      “You died on 2 August 1979. You were on a fishing ship at sea that sank with all hands.”

      You are a computer programmer, you were born in 1985, you’ve never been within 200 miles of any body of water larger than a river, and come to think of it, you’ve always had a peculiar fear of oceans and lakes.

      Did the AI make up a story of your death…or is it somehow aware that that’s the day your previous life ended?
