>> How often do you think a ChatGPT user walks away not just misinformed, but misinformed with conviction? I would bet this happens all the time.

Why is the "Dunning-Kruger" is not mentioned anywhere in the article body while is gloriously visible in the title? By the way, AI is not wrong "all the time".



"all the time" in this context means frequently, not constantly, and is usually understood as a global rate.

for example: people fall in love all the time.


I don't think you get "frequently" misinformed by ChatGPT. What kind of prompts you are using, that make ChatGPT to give false info very often?


It's remarkably easy to get ChatGPT to hallucinate. A go-to for me is to ask it about factual things as compared to other factual things. The description of the Bluey episode is wrong in nearly every possible way. Additionally, the response continues on analyzing in multiple ways, and again continues to get the fundamental facts and therefore the analysis wrong.

Prompt: Compare the Space episode of Bluey to Interstellar

Response: That’s a really fun and surprisingly fitting comparison! Let’s break down how Bluey’s “Space” episode parallels Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar — both emotionally and thematically — even though one is a 7-minute preschool cartoon and the other a 3-hour sci-fi epic.

1. Core Theme: Love Across Distance

Interstellar: The film centers on a father (Cooper) who leaves his daughter (Murph) to save humanity, exploring how love transcends time and space — literally. The emotional heart of Interstellar is the bond between parent and child that endures despite impossible separation.

Bluey: “Space” In this episode, Bluey, Bingo, and their dad (Bandit) play an imaginative game where they’re astronauts who have to separate to save their mission. The moment Bluey and Bandit must say goodbye echoes that same emotional tension — the pain of letting go but also the love that motivates sacrifice.

Parallel: Both stories use the setting of outer space as a metaphor for emotional distance — how people we love can feel far away, and how connection can bridge that gap.


You have rolled on from "all the time" to "frequently" to "remarkably easy". They all do not mean the same.
