New AIWeirdness post: ChatGPT will apologize for anything, including stuff that didn't happen. It's not reflecting on stuff it did wrong, it's improv.

@janellecshane I had also been thinking about this and I'm so glad you ran these tests. I'd been mulling going there and doing it -- I had gotten 3.5 to apologize to me for being wrong, then corrected it, then gotten it to output the right info, THEN told it it was still wrong, then be apologized to because of course it knows nothing... anyway, I was wondering how newer models behaved.
@platypus I'm not even sure what model I'm using - this is the free version of ChatGPT and I don't see the little 5 in the title bar that appears in some screenshots since the release of 5 yesterday.
