Add some extra information, and it gets confused. This is 4o.

One might argue that it's impossible to compress air using known engineering, but that would be a different kind of answer.

It seems more like ChatGPT was asked a rather bizarre question with far too little detail to make sense, and ChatGPT failed to notice or to ask for more information. Although it did get rather impressively confused about the pressure of the air.
“Failed to notice” is a hilariously weird way of talking about tokenization.
Tokenization?

I mean that ChatGPT had no questions about the container of the gas (does it have weight? is it tared out?) or about buoyancy. And it’s really rather sad that ChatGPT calculated the volume of air at atmospheric temperature and pressure and didn’t notice that it was nowhere near fitting into its supposed container. (At least 1.01lb of liquid nitrogen would fit.)
