This is purely ignorant magical thinking.
You're ignoring the very real facts of how ChatGPT works and fabricating a fantasy that you prefer to believe.
In any case, the point is that it's an objective thing anyone can observe: compare the two outputs. See if they differ.

I counter that you ascribe "magical" thinking to the human condition.
GPT is remarkable to me not for its failings, but because of how far it can get when it's only trying to win the game of "predict what token comes next".
GPT simply gives you a complete hallucination. This can be gotten around imperfectly with prompt engineering to get GPT to admit it doesn't know. But still, hallucinations are pretty dangerous failure modes in many applications, and definitely something we don't want in a future iteration. I don't know how much of a change it is to create a GPT without hallucinations, but I suspect that it is non-trival.
