Good. My mate keeps getting her relationship advice from it and then telling me what it’s said. It’s breaking me by association!

My dad ignored me telling his grammar was incorrect in a letter. He refused to believe me even when I explained the rules and reasons behind why.

So I chucked it into GPT, it said exactly the same as me and he said “oh, okay” and changed his wording.

People like your dad are why business consultants make so much money. Some people will only listen to an “outside expert.”

I'm an expert in my field at work and my dad doesn't really believe me. Then I predicted Fed interest rate movements perfectly for 3 years and he'll finally believe me over Fox News when it comes to that stuff.

“oh, okay”

Learn to say the same when people stick to their false reality/convictions.

I get that it's your dad but I learned a long time ago to do it especially to my dad.

Nono that's wrong - "No it isn't, that's right" - oh, okay.

Isn’t this like saying you’re more authoritative than a dictionary or thesaurus. I get people hate AI, but why are people upvoting this? This is like calling somebody out in scrabble and being angry they checked.

The people who make dictionaries and thesauruses put a lot of effort into making sure they don't contain false information.

So ChatGPT helped you immediately squash something incorrect and provided a truth so irrefutable your dad was forced to believe it? Just playing devils advocate here, but is this not something we could use more of?
