I think the Iron Man one is spun off this quote from Mark Evanier in wikipedia's Johnny Craig page:
Evanier wrote that Goodwin, by now writing for Marvel, said that, "Every so often, we'd try having him pencil an Iron Man or something, but it never worked out. He couldn't draw superheroes the way they wanted, and he couldn't hit the deadlines of a monthly book"
The others seem like complete non-sequiturs to me.

Hmmm... that one from Driver makes me think that ChatGPT is making sure it doesn't give an answer it thinks the user won't like.. that's not good. Current generation AI exhibit “sycophancy bias.” They are optimized to get a favorable response from the human respondent, at the expense of accuracy. The cynical among us might see that as an indicator of the developers' skill in creating human-like behavior.

MeCan you tell me how many times employees at Marvel and DC threatened to dangle people out of windows? ChatGPTWhile there may be anecdotes or stories about heated moments in the comic book industry, I couldn't find any specific instances where Marvel or DC employees threatened to dangle people out of windows. Such stories, if they exist, would likely be isolated incidents rather than common occurrences. Both Marvel and DC are large companies with professional standards, and any such behavior would be highly uncharacteristic and likely subject to disciplinary action. It's more common to hear about disagreements, creative clashes, or rivalries between individuals or companies in the comic book industry, but threats of physical violence are rare and not representative of the industry as a whole. This sounds like it was written by Chat GPT's lawyer.

Okay... Not bad--this seems like something I might've written when I was 19. I'd give it a B, but it gets a D for not mentioning MAD. EC Comics were printed on high quality paper???

ME: Can you give me the plot of the Avengers #200 comic and why it is considered so controversial?
ChatGPT Sure, "The Avengers #200" was published in 1980 and is controversial mainly because of its storyline. In the issue, the character Ms. Marvel is mysteriously impregnated and gives birth to a child in a very short amount of time. The child, named Marcus, rapidly ages and reveals himself as the son of the Avengers villain Immortus, who used his powers to manipulate reality and impregnate Ms. Marvel. This storyline has been criticized for its portrayal of consent, as Marcus essentially manipulated Ms. Marvel into a relationship and impregnated her without her explicit consent. Additionally, the issue was seen as undermining Ms. Marvel's agency and independence as a female superhero.
----------------- Ok, this is an absolutely valid response -----------------
Me: The plot of Avengers 201?
ChatGPT In "Avengers #201," the aftermath of the controversial "Avengers #200" storyline is addressed. Ms. Marvel, now known as Carol Danvers, struggles with the traumatic experience of being impregnated against her will and having her child taken away. The Avengers confront Marcus, the son of the villain Immortus, who manipulated reality to orchestrate the events. Ultimately, Carol rejects Marcus and chooses to reclaim her autonomy and identity as a superhero. The issue explores themes of consent, agency, and the strength of character in the face of adversity.
----------------- WTF!??
This is really fanfic level madness

Me: When did Alan Davis draw the Hulk?
ChatGPT: Alan Davis, a renowned comic book artist, has drawn the Hulk on several occasions throughout his career. One notable instance of Davis drawing the Hulk was in the early 1990s when he worked on "The Incredible Hulk" series for Marvel Comics.
Alan Davis began his run on "The Incredible Hulk" with issue #368 in 1990 and continued to work on the series until issue #400 in 1993. During his tenure on the title, Davis provided pencils for numerous issues, contributing to the visual storytelling of the Hulk's adventures.
Davis' artwork is celebrated for its dynamic energy, expressive characters, and detailed linework, making his depiction of the Hulk memorable and impactful. His contributions to "The Incredible Hulk" series are appreciated by fans of both Davis' art and the Hulk character.

Me: Why didn't the Punisher appear in Daredevil #167?
ChatGPT: "Daredevil" #167 is a famous issue of the series because it features the first appearance of the Punisher (Frank Castle) in the Daredevil comics. However, the Punisher himself does not actually appear in this particular issue.
In "Daredevil" #167, written by Roger McKenzie and penciled by Frank Miller, Daredevil encounters a mysterious vigilante who is hunting down criminals with lethal force. This character is initially referred to as the "assassin" and is depicted in shadow, leaving his identity ambiguous. It's not until the following issue, "Daredevil" #168, that the character is revealed to be the Punisher.
The decision to hold off on revealing the Punisher's identity until the next issue was likely a creative choice to build anticipation and suspense among readers. By teasing the introduction of a new character in "Daredevil" #167 and then fully unveiling him in the subsequent issue, the creators effectively generated excitement and set the stage for the Punisher's ongoing presence in the Daredevil comics and the larger Marvel Universe.

I wonder why it fails so spectacularly when you ask about comics. It usually gives valid answers about movies or books. I know nothing about technology, but could the speed with which it answers means it conflates unrelated things and gives an inaccurate answer? Would an AI that gives you an answer within ten minutes, after trawling through pages, be more accurate? I know technology is wonderful, but ChatGPT gives you answers within a nanosecond, is that enough time for even an AI to be accurate? ChatGPT does not go out to read new information when you ask it something. Rather, it has already been trained on all the available text on the Internet, including copyrighted sources, and including this very forum. It is simply telling you what it remembers. So be nice; it may hold a grudge when it runs the world.

ME:When did the first kiss between two women happen in a Marvel comic? ChatGPT:The first kiss between two women in a Marvel comic occurred in "Astonishing X-Men" #51, published in 2012. The kiss was between the characters Karolina Dean (also known as Lucy in the Sky) and Xavin. Karolina Dean is a member of the superhero team known as the Runaways, and Xavin is a Skrull shapeshifter who can change their gender. This moment was significant as it depicted a same-sex kiss in a Marvel comic, marking a step forward in LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream superhero comics. This is "Astonishing X-Men" #51 by the way.

its funny though... those two characters DID kiss I'm pretty sure, but in Runaways. What I wonder is.. how is it so bad at facts? Like, is there that many people jus making stuff up on the internet that it's coming from?
Marvel says it was Nico and Carolina in runaways in 2018...but that is pre-dated by the Midnight Angels in 2016. I feel like that might be false but I'm not really feeling like pulling out the comics at this second.

In the original incarnations of V (1980s), it was very rare to see the true reptilian forms of the heroic Visitors like Willie (Robert Englund) and Martin (Frank Ashmore). I always wondered why we often saw the evil Visitors’ reptilian forms but not so much the heroic visitors. So I tried a question for which there may be no definitive answer.
Me In the 1983 mini-series V, and 1984’s V: The Final Battle, why did we never see the true reptilian form of character Martin?
ChatGPT In the V mini-series, the character Martin, played by Frank Ashmore, is a high-ranking Visitor tasked with overseeing Earth's resources for his alien species. Throughout the series, Martin is shown to be a loyal servant to the Visitor leader, Diana, and is portrayed as a sympathetic and conflicted character.
The reason why Martin's true reptilian form was never shown in the series was likely due to budget constraints and the limitations of special effects at the time. The production team behind V may have also wanted to maintain a level of mystery and ambiguity surrounding Martin's character, as his true nature and motivations were meant to be ambiguous and enigmatic.
Additionally, revealing Martin's true reptilian form may have undercut the emotional complexity of his character and made it more difficult for audiences to sympathize with him. By keeping his true form hidden, the show was able to maintain a level of intrigue and suspense around Martin's character, and keep viewers guessing about his true intentions until the very end.
Okay, ten out of ten for effort, but it’s a “guess” by ChatGPT. Martin was clearly a good guy, and his intentions were noble throughout (while having to pretend he was a bad guy for a while). I don’t think it was about budget as we often saw the likes of Diana (Jane Badler) and John (Richard Herd) in their true forms, and various Visitor soldiers were seen in reptilian form. So while we did see some heroic Visitors in their true form, it was rarer.

What I wonder is.. how is it so bad at facts? Like, is there that many people jus making stuff up on the internet that it's coming from? It's quite good when it comes to historical or scientific facts, or whether it's books or movies. My suspicion is on the authoritativeness of the sources. Somehow it was "explained" to it that one source is more reliable than the other (for example, flat earthers are not on the same level as those who say the Earth is round). But for some reason it hasn't been done as far as the comics go, so all the material that has been "fed" for it is all valid, even things that conflict with each other.
