That happens, sure, but try convincing it of something that isn't true.

I had a brief but amusing conversation with ChatGPT where I was insisting it was wrong about a technical solution and it would not back down. It kept giving me "with all due respect, you are wrong" answers. It turned out that I was in fact wrong.



I see. I tend to treat AI a little differently - I come with a hypothesis and ask AI how right I am based on a scale of 1 to 5. Then I iterate from there.

I'll ask it questions that I do not know the answer to, but I take the answer with a big grain of salt. If it is sure of the answer and I am wrong, its a strong signal that I am wrong.
