That specific case was it using too much common sense (which was apparently also a problem with IQ tests at one point)
Me:
If it rains today, I will drive home. I did not drive home. Did it rain today? Answer using only logic.
ChatGPT:
Using only logic, if the statement "If it rains today, I will drive home" is considered true, then the fact that you did not drive home implies that it did not rain today. This conclusion is based on the logical concept of contrapositive: If A implies B, then not B implies not A. In this case, A is "it rains today" and B is "I will drive home." Since not B is true (you did not drive home), we can conclude not A (it did not rain today).

ChatGPT:
As a linguistic professor, I can tell you that the converse of a conditional statement is formed by swapping the positions of the antecedent (the "if" clause) and the consequent (the "then" clause). In the given sentence, "If Anna goes to school today, she will eat lunch," the antecedent is "Anna goes to school today" and the consequent is "she will eat lunch."
Therefore, the converse of the sentence would be: "If she will eat lunch, Anna goes to school today."

ChatGPT:
The prior answer correctly explains the concept of the converse of a conditional statement and identifies the antecedent and consequent of the given sentence. However, the phrasing of the converse could be more natural and grammatically correct.
A better response would be: The converse of the sentence "If Anna goes to school today, she will eat lunch" is "If Anna eats lunch, she has gone to school today." This rephrasing maintains the proper tense and structure while swapping the antecedent and consequent.
