Then we may have just found an important philosophical concept.

I'm an accountant, and when someone asks me about the rash on their skin I say, 'I'm not a doctor, I'm an accountant'.

When you ask ChatGPT something that is not it's job it just bullshits its way through like a cheap salesman.

I don't know I assume it would tell you put some cortisone cream on it or to seek a dermatologist. 99% of internet advice boils down to that I don't think chatgpt/gpt 4 would be much different in that regard. It definitely can bullshit but for really generalized stuff like that I doubt it.

It's not like your asking a singular person the question like it is when you ask an accountant but an abstraction of written human thought and interactions.
