In the recent ChatGPT 5 launch presentation, ChatGPT 5 answered a question about how airplane wings produce uplift incorrectly, despite the corresponding Wikipedia page providing the correct explanation and pointing out ChatGPT’s explanation as a common misconception.

AI chatbots are only capable of outputting “vibe knowledge”.

Yeah, but even so people use that nonsense, not checking if anything is correct. I suspect not enough people would notice that Wikipedia is inaccessible, sadly.
