And yet to other people it starts rambling about how that’s wrong and you shouldn’t do it and doesn’t give a usable answer.

I boggles the mind the extent to which people salivate over a system that cannot decide between a correct straight answer, something wrong but plausible, something wrong and impossible, or outright refusing to answer.

That's GPT 3.5. It sounds like you have a bit of an axe to grind with ChatGPT, but if you're going to do so, do try to grind it on the correct version.

  • The comment says it’s v4. Since there’s no information on the page either way (funny, considering the original complaint), I took them at their word. If you don’t believe them, that’s up to you.

    For what it’s worth, I do have access to v4 and it did give me an answer right now. But since I also know even v4 can give you wildly different answers to the same question even if you ask them one right after another, that doesn’t prove it either way.
