Here’s an interesting failure of ChatGPT 4o, asked “Would I get more jetlag flying from Fairbanks to Seoul or flying from New York to Seoul?”
Seoul is, of course, only 6 hours away from Fairbanks, but the International Date Line is crossed. ChatGPT did not reconsider its answer when I followed up with “Isn’t Fairbanks closer to Seoul than New York is?” but it did when I asked “Isn’t the 18-hour time difference that you mention actually a 6-hour time difference, but in the opposite direction?”
(Who wants to join me and some friends in Fairbanks, Feb 20-26? Email me if interested. We’re hoping to see the Northern Lights! Happy first day of winter, by the way. If you’re in Florida, a trip to Fairbanks might be the best way to experience a true winter…)
Hard to believe AI prompt surfing has now replaced web surfing & games as the word’s full time activity.
Does ChatGPT have an opinion on the mental well-being of someone who chooses to travel from South Florida to Central Alaska in the middle of winter?
I have been itching to fly to Fairbanks, but I am waiting for a solar storm.
ChatGPT is a flat-earther.
