I just want to point out that anything you ask ChatGPT about that hasn't been discussed 1000 times on Reddit or Wikipedia is going to be wrong, and it will only be "right" in the sense that it aligns with the artificial consensus created on those platforms.
Of course the author probably did that as a joke.
Pretty much! A precedent-fueled prediction engine can’t predict the unprecedented.
It (LLMs in general) actually can make some very prescient hallucinations by making similar inferences across dissimilar domains, but they have since removed that feature to prevent liability and libel. GPT3 was much more useful in this capacity, especially before they started stress testing it on 4chan (Jan 2023)
