"Despite telling it that the iPhone 16 Pro has indeed launched already and pointing it to my review, it stuck to its guns. "It seems there might be some confusion here! As of now, the iPhone 16 Pro has not officially been released, and the latest iPhone models available are part of the iPhone 15 series (released in September 2023)."
I thought asking for a picture of the iPhone 16 might help things along, but even then, it refused to change its tune. "Since the iPhone 16 hasn’t been officially released or announced yet, there are no confirmed images of the device."
These errors are often referred to as hallucinations. Caused by a lack of data, the AI can often make things up or present fabricated or incorrect information as fact. In this case, the implications were harmless, but it does make you question how reliable other responses are.
Running a slightly different search, such as best phone, quickly revealed that ChatGPT does know more about the iPhone 16 series, and was even able to provide pictures. So it really does depend on exactly how you have worded the question, as to what it gives you back – much like a regular search engine."
