I had a fun tangle with ChatGPT and Claude as to whether "First Communion" and/or "First Confession" are capitalized.
While agreeing that "First Communion" should be capitalized they gave opposing answers regarding "First Confession". Claude thought it should be capitalized, ChatGPT demurred. So I fed Claude's response to ChatGPT, challenging it.
Oh sure, ChatGPT agreed, "You are correct." Then proceeded to explain why "First Confession" should be capitalized.
I also challenged Claude by pasting ChatGPT's original response claiming we should not capitalize. Claude: "Thank you for that clarification, you make an excellent point. I stand corrected...."
Kind of forced to straddle the two answers (and so doing a little Googling) I decided in the end that ChatGPT was probably right the first time.
There is a weird relationship I am finding I am having with LLMs where I feel the need to go back and "set them straight". I feel bad kind of lying to them like I did.
ChatGPT shrugged it off though, was quick to explain that, indeed, it probably should not be capitalized (except maybe for some nuanced, special-case reasons that the author might have).
