I don't think that premise stands. If I ask ChatGPT to write a poem about Sherlock Holmes fighting a mermaid it will happily do so, and I think most users would agree that it'd be a failure mode if it refused. Isn't it more the case that people are expecting it to sometimes be an artist and other times be a true-fact database, and assuming the AI will know which one they want?

No, because inherent in them asking ChatGPT to write them a poem about Sherlock Holmes is that they’re asking ChatGPT to write something fictional and artistic.

  That's what I just said - people are expecting the AI to discern from the prompt whether to answer in fiction mode or fact mode. And my point here is, people who understand the tech should know that only one of those modes actually exists! It's a generative AI; it doesn't have a fact-retrieval-mode any more than StableDiffusion does.
