> P.S. Here's a nice little tidbit in the source:

This is great, so I wanted to know if ChatGPT would follow these instructions and asked it to summarise the page. It summarised it to 1 short paragraph talking about... basic income? But that's not in the article (unless the author uses a different term, I tried a few). So I asked ChatGPT why it got it wrong, and it then said, after having claimed a summary previously, that it actually can't summarise web pages (which I'm fairly sure it can). I told it that was stupid and it removed that message and I got a message telling me it violated ChatGPT's content policies.

So a computer just lied to me, lied to me again, and then censored my response in case it, what, offends the computer? How do people use this garbage?

Edit: tried this with Gemini and it just gave me a summary about interest rates and layoffs. That's more what I was expecting.
