Dan GillmorChatGPT appears to have a refined sense of the absurd. I asked it to write a ridiculous (but standard) Republican-Democrat, both-sides New York Times political story, and it did exactly that.
Joe ❌👑@dangillmor ChatGPT was able to do this because its training data (a snapshot of the Internet) was full of examples of the NY Times engaging in this behavior and being called on it.
creckling@not2b @dangillmor I came here to say this too - it’s been trained by the NYT articles.
