ChatGPT is not trustworthy at all

Tried ChatGPT a few days ago. You can chat directly with the artificial intelligence from its Chat window. You need a free account to do that, just register with an email address and verify it with the link you receive to it.

A simple test that I made, was to ask the AI to tell me, or make me a list, of which Casio watches do have a weekday alarm. Such alarm basically consists of a type of alarm, different from the daily or once alarm, that always rings from Monday to Friday at the set hour, but not the Saturday and Sunday. You could use the daily alarm for this, but you have to remember to disable on Fridays and enable it on Sundays (so the following days after is set or unset accordingly).

Casio refers to such alarm as "week day" type, abbreviated wDAY on the watch itself. One of the watches that has this feature is the Casio G-7710-1ER:

This is the symbol used in characteristics as a pictogram from old catalogs (difficult to find currently in official Casio websites, try to download old catalogs in pdf):

Here are some models that have the week-day alarm feature:

Casio 3095 G-Shock G-7700-1ER

Casio 3095 G-Shock G-7710-1ER

Casio 3095 G-Shock G-7710C-3ER
 

I just asked ChatGPT to provide that information, and found 3 things:

  1. None of the watch models in the results have the desired feature.
  2. Models with the desired feature are not listed by ChatGPT.
  3. ChatGPT changes the specifications back and forth of a given model according to what I say (regardless if it's truth or not), instead of double-checking trustworthy sources.
