Maybe it's something related. When I ask ChatGPT technical questions I get very confident answers that are often completely wrong. But setting aside the confidence aspect, I notice ChatGPT responses can be vague and widely applicable.

In one case I ask a question about X, and ChatGPT responds with an answer: Y because Z. Well Y is wrong, so I tell ChatGPT Y is wrong and I get a new answer: Not Y because Z.

In another case I ask a question about X, and I get an answer that talks endlessly about Z without ever giving the answer Y.

The reasoning all sounds good, it's relevant and useful, but the actual answer might as well be a Mad Lib.
