The ideal way to prompt would be to say something wrong and have it correct you, works great on the internet.

Sadly it doesn't seem to be smart enough to be at that level yet, it is too hard for it so when you do that it will hallucinate a lot as it corrects you, or miss your error completely.

It is! Last week, I aked Bing Chat for a reference about the Swiss canton of Ticino. I made a mistake and wrote in my prompt that Ticino was part of Italy, and not Switzerland. Bing Chat kindly corrected me and then answered my question. I was speachless.

Its accuracy is way worse for that than just asking directly, since there is less structure for it to go on. Compare that to a forum where you can rely on people correcting you almost every time for all sorts of things.

I wonder if the GP just did that with you

> speachless

speechless

Actually it is. Several times I called thing the wrong name and it corrected. Sometime I describe what I want and it says "the thing you are talking about is called..." Sometimes _it_ does mistakes and _I_ have to correct. Double checking and testing is always a good idea ;).
