I'm surprised no one here seems to comment on how that professor's issue seems to be that ChatGPT is biased against conservatives, not that it's inherently flawed and could hallucinate stories and quotes about just anyone on any subject:

> So the question is why would an AI system make up a quote, cite a nonexistent article and reference a false claim? The answer could be because AI and AI algorithms are no less biased and flawed than the people who program them. Recent research has shown ChatGPT’s political bias, and while this incident might not be a reflection of such biases, it does show how AI systems can generate their own forms of disinformation with less direct accountability.

To me, while he was wronged by ChatGPT, it's not for the reason he says.
