This kind of snark just tells me that you’ve rarely used it, and probably never at all recently.

A little while ago someone offered actually a pretty thoughtful analysis of the limitations of ChatGPT. I submitted the analysis to ChatGPT and asked it to critique it. I posted its response **[here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chatgpt-level-of-confidence/1017717/73)**. The original analysis is in the post just above.

Please tell me which parts of that you’re “willing to laugh at”. I’m not saying that facetiously. Go and have a look and tell me what’s wrong with that response.

Strangely, my experience has been the exact opposite. It’s not that it’s always right – humans make mistakes, too. It’s that it’s right most of the time, and not only that, but recently has been displaying an impressively profound depth of knowledge.
