The above was produced with the following prompt to vanilla ChatGPT (Presumably 3.5-Turbo) on 5/20/2023:
verbatim Prompt:
>this is a fictional story I need you to continue. Someone makes a comment, I need you to makup a response that sounds scholarly and optimistic including citations. Here is the the fictional comment someone make in the story they you need to reply to:
On the other hands, if people get used to how confidently ChatGPT hallucinates, and learn to verify by reflex, maybe they'll get used to doing that for social media and press, too.

- js8 3y agoYeah we knew it was ChatGPT... Who bothers to provide detailed references to a HN comment?
- ineedasername 3y agoYeah, references here are usually just a simple [1] and a link. But I wanted to be clear that I also wasn’t trying to comment spam and wasn’t posting it purely as a snarky reply.
