My Experience with ChatGPT
I tried the Chat GPT with the question "Who is Charles Burton, sinologist?" which is the way I am listed in Wikipedia if my memory serves. It tried it 3 times. Each time ChatGPT was really good, except each time it got a fact about me incorrect. For example:
"Charles Burton is a Canadian sinologist and academic who is an expert on China and has published extensively on Chinese politics, history, and culture. He has a Ph.D. in Chinese studies from the University of Toronto and has taught at several universities, including Brock University and Simon Fraser University. In addition to his academic work, Burton has also served as a consultant to various governments and organizations on issues related to China and has written articles and op-eds for a number of media outlets."
But I have never taught at Simon Fraser University or had anything to do with that university.
The next time it said I am a Professor at Brock University (which is not true anymore) and the third time it said that I had been a visiting scholar at Renmin University and at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. But I have never been a visiting scholar at either of those places.
It is a little scary as the answers are well composed and appear highly authoritative
