In my experimentation this ... works sometimes?

For ex. I tried asking ChatGPT about cartoons from childhood. I wrote "What was that cartoon in the 1980s that was based on some kind of gummy candy?" and it correctly identified "The Adventures of the Gummi Bears". I wrote "Sing the theme song for me" and it produced the song missing the first verse. I wrote "That is missing the first verse!" and it produced the whole correct song.

On the other hand, when I asked it to describe the instrumental 90s X-Men theme song, it tells me:

'...the lyrics are epic and uplifting, with lines like "We're the X-Men, we're the best there is at what we do." The song also has a sense of urgency and danger, with lines like "We're fighting for our lives" and "The mutant race will survive"...'

When I put "The X-Men theme song doesn't have lyrics" it readily accepted the correction but unlike getting the missing first verse I wasn't really getting any verifiable information by making the correction.

And of course it was happy to tell me about a nonexistent Gummi Bears / Rescue Rangers crossover episode.
