I consider ChatGPT to be a gaslighting engine at scale. Every word it "utters" is meant to sound believable and convincing. It doesn't know truth or fact, just likelihood of a string of text tokens being believable. I've started explaining it in terms of a "conman" to my friends & family. It will say anything to make you think it's right. It will even apologize for making a mistake if you insist that 2+2 is 5. That's what a liar would do to make you look good. (That's usually when people get it.)
