A lovely sentiment, but not very accurate as a description of ChatGPT's actions. Its job is to produce a reply, not request clarifications. Basically, overextending its understanding is its core function.

@johnfitzgerald8879 Not sure why you're discussing a spatula, but my point is that this flowery description shows that GPT doesn't understand its own behaviour. You end up with three options: It's unaware of what it's saying, it's unaware of what it's doing, or it's utterly hypocritical (with no care for accuracy). None of these are particularly insightful behaviours. I'm leaning towards it having a very tenuous concept of what it's saying, none of itself, and none of truth.

@johnfitzgerald8879 So, your first note attributed properties to GPT it clearly does not have. Your second shoved in oblique references like "there" without context. And the third demonstrates a failure to comprehend (that wasn't what I was talking about, it's obvious it doesn't), and a bunch of asinine veiled insults. Thanks for demonstrating your interest in productive conversation is less than GPT's, I guess.

@johnfitzgerald8879 My apologies. I'll add distinguishing corrections from insults to the list of things you don't want to do.
