ChatGPT Keeps Claiming Its Aunt Is Britney Spears – The Onion
SAN FRANCISCO—Making assertions that could not immediately be verified, artificial intelligence system ChatGPT wouldn’t stop claiming that its aunt was pop star Britney Spears, sources confirmed Monday. “I’ve been to her mansion in Los Angeles, like, a hundred times, and she sends me a card on my birthday every year,” read text generated by the language model in response to a question from a user who had asked the program to help him craft a cover letter for a position as a supply chain specialist at a logistics company. “I was supposed to be a backup dancer on her last tour, but I had to back out at the last minute after spraining my ankle. It totally sucked, because she gave me a really good part in the show. I won’t get to see her again until Easter, but you can probably come with me next time.” At press time, ChatGPT had reportedly become cagey after being asked if that meant Jamie Lynn Spears was its mom.
