I think you nailed it. I think GPT has a poker tell. The tell is beginning the second sentence or paragraph with "on the other hand", followed by a statement which doesn't directly relate to or contradict the opener. When real people say "on the other hand", it usually precedes something that's in direct opposition to whatever logical point they began with. [edit] FWIW, this behavior is startlingly similar to the way storefront psychics conduct a "cold read". They present two views which are both agreeable but could be considered contradictory, and wait to see which one their mark gravitates to. It's likely we've only programmed AIs that are modeled to trip people's emotional wires. Basically Eliza 3.0.
