This comment seems to be perpetuating another misunderstanding about how LLMs like ChatGPT work: the idea that they have a "model of the world" that is consistent, but sometimes incorrect.

They do not.

There is no reason why two different people, asking the same question of ChatGPT, would necessarily get the same inaccurate answer. There is also no reason why they would get similar correct answers.

What they will get is answers that are statistically likely based on the text in ChatGPT's training data.
