Yeah, on a C64 forum, someone was asking a technical question about what color attributes Commodore 16 bitmap mode could store. The first person to reply asked ChatGPT and pasted the answer and what followed was confusion. ChatGPT confidently gave an answer that seemed to be talking about ZX Spectrum color attributes.

I did a quick search for a Commodore 16 technical manual and simply read it to provide the answer. (I already knew it, but wanted to link a reference.)

we have been raised since the 80s to consider computers and technology errorless, especially when you talk toward consumers.

Even among professionals and companies it is hard to adopt a security mindset, because many fall in the same pitfall.

In that regard products like ChaptGPT are not exception; and if we insist to use misleading terminologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, we are going to further lower the bar of criticism and reinforce our naive trust in anything that is technology related.
