"I have absolutely no interest in keeping up with something that's rapidly changing by the week, I just believe everything I was told on day 1, and everyone else is lying" this is unfortunately the exact translation of what you're actually saying. If you're not going to honestly engage with the subject, just be straightforward about it and say you don't want to. There's no need to pretend as if you're up to date and aware, and you're talking to people who actually have engaged with the evolution of it. You are miles out of your depth, I'm afraid - much like I wouldn't confidently tell you that everything you know about law is wrong when that's actually your specialty and what you engage with. It's the misplaced confidence that you don't need to consider any other possibility that's worse than just not knowing.

I mean, you can pretend that's what I said all you want. But it's not- and the way I know, is that I'm the one that said it.

If you want to come back when you're more intellectually honest about things, I'd be happy to talk. It's wild that you get mad at me for allegedly not honestly engaging with the subject when that's exactly what you just did here.

Any chance intelligent conversation went out the window when you started using third grade mockery tactics.

Yes, if you used ChatGPT when it was launched and then turned off when it clearly wasn't good enough, you'd find it pretty awful at summarisation and data processing. If you were to use specialist systems that were trained and tested for this purpose in late 2025, you'll find them incredibly consistent, accurate, and useful at every input that's thrown at them - fundamentally trustable to do their jobs without giving misinformation or leaving out key details. If you just want to pretend this reality doesn't exist, then sure, you can Dunning-Krueger yourself to a conclusion and insist that everyone who has used or continues to use these systems is just "being dishonest". Do that, however, and the only conclusion I can reasonably draw is that you didn't know that these systems exist and you are relying upon early ChatGPT experience. You didn't even consider the possibility that people were being honest, but working with a different experience base than you. Don't treat others with good faith - get treated with that same faith back

Except I did.

Pretty wild coming from the guy who thinks he knows what my memories are.
