I asked chatGPT how come it's so good at programming tasks. It told me it does not in fact understand programs, nor is it able to write programs. For the rest of the thread, it refused to perform any programming tasks: "As I told you, I'm unable to [...]". Don't mind me, I'm just a language model. These types of responses are, I believe, part of a separately trained safety system, that should kick in when people are asking things that openAI thinks chatGPT cannot/should not do. It has a lot of false positives as well as false negatives. Long story short: I don't trust what chatGPT has to say on its own abilities.
