It all depends on how you use it. Tell the AI to generate text in support of option A, that's what you mostly get (unless you hit the built-in 'safety' mechanisms). Do the same for options B, C, etc and then ask the AI to compare and contrast each viewpoint (get the AI to argue with itself). This is time-consuming but a failure to converge on a single answer using this approach does at least indicate that more research is needed. Now, if the overall population has been indoctrinated with 'trust the authority' thinking since childhood, then a study like this one might be used to assess the prevalence of critical thinking skills in the population under study. Whether or not various interests have been working overtime for some decades now to create a population that's highly susceptible to corporate advertising and government propaganda is also an interesting question, though I doubt much federal funding would be made available to researchers for investigating it.
