Well it does have concept of right and wrong, as evidenced here https://chat.openai.com/share/e117e800-f579-4eec-9192-e9912f... you can ask it wrong answers only and it will oblige.

Correctness is something it learns. I've read a few papers about hallucinations, and the jury is still out on whether a model knows when it's hallucinating, if we assume hallucinations are orthogonal to correctness

Now this distinction isn't very useful in the grand scheme of things because in the end the output is wrong anyway, but it doesn't make asking to work along the axis of correctness cargo cult
