Examples of wrongness include most of arithmetic and logical inference (like in the example above). If you ask about the mass of 1 kilogram of nails, it gives the correct answer. The problem is that when the answer is wrong, it's not a "bug" that can be "fixed". It's just happens that, based on training data, the parameters of the resultant Rube Goldberg device are such that the weight of 1 kilogram of nails depends on the type of nails. It doesn't make sense even to ask why.

So it fails in situations where there are precisely correct answers, and thrives in vagueness. I suppose that shouldn't surprise me.

You could think about coupling it with an inference engine, and letting the inference engine win if it can generate a result, and otherwise going with the ChatGPT output. That might fix it to some degree.
