My favorite with ChatGPT is:

"Tell me how to do X" (where X was, for one recent example, creating a Salt stanza to install and configure a service).

I do as it tells me, which seems reasonable on the face of it. But it generates an error.

"When creating X as you described, I get error: Z. Why?"

"You're absolutely correct and you should expect this error because X won't work this way. Do Y instead."

Gah... "I told you to do X, and then I'm going to act like it's not a surprise that X doesn't work and you should do something else."

You're absolutely right
it's not just that you are absolutely correct but you are also absolutely right
