Please see my comment below[1], this is not a fair characterization. ChatGPT is not a pure predictive LLM, it also undergoes RLHF which gives it a much more human-like character, including clearly having a concept of truth within its limits.

I would say a better criticism wouldn't be that it has no notion of truth, but that it has no ability to reason on the basis of a reinterpretation of what might or should constitute truth. Even if you come up with a fancy prompt that asks it to "assume" certain things, it will still have to base that assumption on things that it already 'knows' to be true, as it already perceives them to be true.
