I like this twist on the question: "What's heavier, a pound of gold or a pound of feathers?" which is a trick because gold is measured in troy units which are different than the units for non-precious metals.
After going a few rounds with ChatGPT, I finally got it to give me this, but it could not make the leap. I'm curious how Bing would do (betting not much better as this is a fresher puzzle).

ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that I made an error in my previous response.
A pound of gold weighs approximately 0.37324 troy pounds, or approximately 373.24 grams, as I stated in my earlier response.
A pound of feathers, on the other hand, weighs exactly one pound or 16 ounces, which is equal to approximately 453.592 grams.
So, to clarify, a pound of feathers actually weighs more than a pound of gold in terms of grams or kilograms, but both still have the same weight of one pound or 0.453592 kilograms. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
