This is a Large Language Model. It's goal is to try to present the information you asked for in the simplest terms possible. Because, since you are using it, you are undoubtedly a bit simple.
Because it was trained on fiction it has no way of filtering out if the information it is using is fiction, satire, or even just plain wrong.
Stop calling it AI and expecting it to be an AI and you can use it.
Also understand it is programmed to reflect back to you what answers you have indicated you want. So the more it "talks" to you the more it is going to become your echo chamber. But do not think you have "changed it's mind" because, for one thing it does not have a mind and for the other all it is doing is for you. For your neighbor it is giving him entirely different answers based on what he wants.
That should give you a nice warm glow.
“So shines the truth, in a dark, weary world.”
You stated it well: if you are asking the current LLM-based “AIs” for anything, you probably are a bit slow and need all the imperfect help you can get.
Do you have a lot of experience using AI (like Grok or ChatGPt) in your work?
