Mansplaining as a service is the best description of GPT.
> The reason it CAN be right about more general info is because people trained it away from lies. No one has trained out the lies on more rarified knowledge, so it makes shit up.
> Trusting its answers to be correct is flatly stupid when it is literally designed to make shit up that sounds good instead of saying "I don't know".

But it isn’t satisfying, I remember five year-old me would get very upset with my mom if she said something like that, unless it was followed up with “but let’s go look it up together.” Unfortunately for OpenAI, that isn’t the kind of response their customers probably want to see; they would likely get annoyed and go back to Google or DDG or something else.
