> how it knows whether to use "a" vs. "an": It doesn't "know" that and this is a great example of how clearly it doesn't know things even when it can produce text that if a person produced it you'd assume indicates understanding. Ask it to explain when to use "a" vs "an" and you'll get a good explanation. Give it a test, though and it'll often fail. For example: > me: Imagine that there's an animal called a "honbukle" pronounced like ending in "buckle" and starting with "on". Tell a short story about having seen one. > chatgpt: <blah blah blah> "It sounds like you saw a honbukle," they said. <blah blah blah>
