I find it will often double down, requiring me to look it up. Then when I present that, it will find some little corner case where it could be true, prompting me to look that up, too. And then it wild gaslight me, pretending it meant something else, didn't understand the question, or refuse to acknowledge it said what it said. Its an insidious and often subtle liar.

There are GOFAI ontology models that I think would actually integrate well into ChatGPT. It's basically solved the language part, but not the AI part, and so it really is more of an interface. So I guess like the OP is talking about. It just needs intelligent systems underneath to interface with.
