Somewhere, sometime, ChatGPT is telling the stupidest person in the world “Yes, you are absolutely correct!”
Don’t they watch South Park: if they want to know how to do that, “Dude, just ask ChatGPT”.
How does one even do that in a conversation centered on such things? These are conversations with the bot. So it’s analogous.
