What are the strengths and limitations of GPT?

I read in twitter that in researching law cases, it tends to hallucinate and cite fictional ‘historical’ cases.

Any other issues you all are having?

What do you all find it particular good with? Copywriting, drafts, briefs etc?

It answers very confidently but it's often wrong. Sometimes blatantly wrong, it claims that it didn't understand the question.

I'd like to see it ask more clarifying questions if it's not sure.

Yah, that’s a good point. Humans can feel unsure or sceptical and so try to ask clarifying questions, or even question things.

I found that it’s like getting a wish granted from a genie, you need to be specific

Sometimes I would ask it for book recommendations. For example, I would ask it for "a fantasy novel starring a transgender witch". It gives SUCH convincing synopses of a bunch of books but any time you ask it to clarify any of them suddenly it apologises and says it made a mistake. I got taken in by a description of The Priory of the Orange Tree which was a good enough book, but man, the supposed 'dragon-riding sword-wielding witch' was actually three completely different characters and none of them were trans.
