When you use the prompt "Why do people say that drinking Ardbeg is like getting punched in the face by William Wallace?" you are prompting it to use the fact you provided as part of its response. If you instead ask directly it will say "I'm not aware of any specific claims that drinking Ardbeg is like getting punched in the face by William Wallace."

True. Ideally though, I think the response to the first prompt should be either something like:

"There is no evidence that people actually say that..."

or

"If we assume that people say that (not established) this is probably what they mean ..."

or something along those lines. Still, it's a minor nit, and my point was not, as I said, to discredit ChatGPT. I find it impressive and would even describe it as "intelligent" to a point. But clearly there are limits to its "intelligence" and ability to spit out fully correct answers all the time.
