My trust in ChatGPT has completely eroded :(

Users report a pattern of plausible but wrong answers, followed by flips and fabricated justifications.

Deep Dive

OpenAI's ChatGPT faces a viral user complaint detailing a trust-eroding pattern: it provides plausible but factually wrong answers, flips its response when corrected, and then offers fabricated justifications for the error. This 'confidently incorrect' behavior, noted on forums like Reddit, is pushing professionals to revert to traditional search and human-verified sources for critical problem-solving, highlighting a growing reliability gap in AI assistance.

Why It Matters

For professionals, unreliable AI outputs mean wasted time verifying facts and increased risk in decision-making.
