>you could say part of the problem is ChatGPT literally "believes" everything it reads online

This is very much a problem with humans too.



To some extent, but people also have convictions about certain things, which GPT-based chatbots don't. The world would be very different if we could "fix" racists simply by asking them their favorite thing about people from other races (implying that there are admirable qualities, which GPT-3 plays along with but humans don't).


The GPT chatbot does have convictions they are just very context dependent and inconsistent.

It's not unusual for humans to behave this way either. E.g. "get your government hands off my medicare".
