I asked ChatGPT about primes ending in 2 to make it prove a point and it proved the point far better than I could have hoped for.

Please do not be a fool who trusts ChatGPT with anything outside your field of expertise, and even then double or triple check what it tells you if you must use it.

Did it not understand the instructions? What happened?

@VHasch i'm pretty sure my prompt helped gaslight it into believing there must be multiple prime numbers that end in 2 (because I asked for the first few) and it launched into a typical confidently incorrect frenzy of desperately trying to make its answer fit instead of correcting my assumption tht there could be more than one

@alinanorakari @VHasch as a professional asker of questions, this reflection reminds me of how important it is to ask "clean" questions, to avoid warping the authenticity of the answer. Well, with humans, who do have authentic selves.

@deborahh @VHasch turns out it even struggles with clean questions to some extent when it comes to numbers
