I think I already mentioned this when writing about Google Translate before ChatGPT became a thing: I'd noticed that Google started making grammar mistakes (okay, one grammar mistake in my reckoning), inventing nonexistent words, and translating difficult words as if they were mistyped and meant something else.

Don't think Chat is different. Is it trained by someone with superior intelligence? Even if someone told me it's just so and I really wanted to believe it, I'd still find it difficult to kill the doubts. I can imagine Chat being trained on nothing but high-quality corpora of texts specifically designed to exclude teenager posts on social media, but even such texts can be handled in stupid ways. And I can't imagine someone hiring a bunch of top-notch, extravagantly paid experts tasked with punishing Chat with low scores every time it starts acting stupid
