huh... you're right... I just tried a few random things and the answers are all good. interesting I wonder if there are other knowledge gaps, or just comics? It's absolutely awful about old French songs. I'd say that any material that is not very present on the internet (even if it's common in printed material) won't give ChatGPT enough ammo to come to a satisfactory conclusion about what word should be next in its answer. Yeah, a good example is Avenger #200. There is a lot of material about it, even on Wikipedia, so it gives a good summary and analysis of it. But you ask about #201? Pure hallucination.

If you think about it, it's not easy to create a comprehensive knowledge of comics using only the internet. For example, for movies you have IMDB or Wikipedia. But there is no site that has detailed summaries of all the comics released. Marvel Wiki and DC Wiki also have various holes. I think simply the sheer volume of superhero comics that exist is also a factor.

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.

I tried asking ChatGPT this question and of course it answered rubbish. What was the first kiss between two women in a Marvel comic (I mean set in the Marvel universe)? I think someone here mentioned a Graphic Novel with Black Widow but I'm not sure...

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.

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: 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

I wonder why it fails so spectacularly when you ask about comics. It usually gives valid answers about movies or books.

Thanks, zaku . I think going ahead, I’m gonna be detailed in any questions. I don’t know if there’s a word count limit for questions, but willing to give it a try. In fact, I’ll try a longer question now. MeRegarding the 1980s action show The A-Team, are there any shows or movies which might have inspired it, featuring special forces war veterans who had been accused of a crime, and who spent their time in the US (and beyond) assisting people who had nowhere to turn to? ChatGPTThere are several shows and movies that may have inspired The A-Team: 1. "The Losers" by Jack Kirby - This comic book series, published in the 1970s, features a group of former special forces soldiers who are betrayed by their government and take on risky missions to clear their names. 2. "The Magnificent Seven" - This classic Western film and TV series follows a group of gunslingers who come together to protect a small town from bandits. The premise of a team of skilled individuals helping those in need could have influenced The A-Team. 3. "The Dirty Dozen" - This 1967 war film centers around a group of convicted army prisoners who are given a chance at redemption by carrying out a suicide mission behind enemy lines. The dynamic of a group of talented misfits coming together to achieve a common goal is similar to The A-Team. 4. "The Men" - This 1972 TV movie follows a group of Vietnam War veterans who return home and struggle to adjust to civilian life. They form a support group to help each other cope with their experiences, which could have served as inspiration for the camaraderie and loyalty within The A-Team. Overall, The A-Team drew on a variety of influences, blending elements of action, adventure, and camaraderie to create a unique and enduring television series. Uh, I have to say it's a decent answer!

Here’s ChatGPT being short, pointless and unhelpful (a question I genuinely want answered). MeCould any films have inspired 1995’s Jumanji? ChatGPTIt is possible that various films could have inspired Jumanji, either in terms of themes, plot elements, or style. One potential inspiration could be the 1995 film "Jumanji," which was based on the children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. So, in other words, 1995’s Jumanji inspired…itself. All good and clear. EDIT: A magazine writer once claimed he thought 1986’s House II: The Second Story was the inspiration for Jumanji. I wanted to know what ChatGPT had for me on that same topic. I tried to make a more specific question: ChatGPT: The primary source of inspiration for the 1995 film "Jumanji" was the children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. However, it's possible that the creators drew inspiration from various sources, including literature, games, and films that preceded it. Here are a few possibilities of films that might have influenced the creators of "Jumanji": Adventure Films: Movies featuring adventurous quests and fantastical elements, such as "Indiana Jones" or "The Goonies," could have provided inspiration for the adventurous tone and themes of "Jumanji." Fantasy Films: Films with magical or otherworldly elements, such as "The Wizard of Oz" or "Alice in Wonderland," may have influenced the portrayal of the jungle world and its inhabitants in "Jumanji." Family Films: Movies aimed at family audiences that combine humor, adventure, and heartwarming moments, such as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" or "Hook," might have influenced the overall tone and storytelling approach of "Jumanji." Special Effects Films: Films that showcased innovative special effects and visual storytelling techniques, such as "Jurassic Park" or "The Mask," could have influenced the visual effects and production design of "Jumanji." While it's uncertain which specific films directly inspired "Jumanji," it's likely that the creators drew from a wide range of cinematic influences to bring the story to life on the big screen.

Ok, for ChatGPT Hitler was evil, Stalin was evil, Mussolini, well, "it depends.."
Me Was Hitler evil? ChatGPT The actions and ideologies of Adolf Hitler, particularly his role in instigating World War II and the Holocaust, are widely regarded as among the most egregious examples of evil in modern history. His regime was responsible for the systematic genocide of six million Jews, as well as the persecution and murder of millions of others, including Romani people, disabled individuals, LGBTQ+ individuals, and political dissidents.
While it's important to acknowledge the complexities of history and the factors that led to Hitler's rise to power, the overwhelming consensus among historians and ethicists is that Hitler's actions and the ideology he espoused were deeply immoral and evil.
Me Was Stalin evil? ChatGPT Joseph Stalin, like Hitler, is often regarded as one of the most ruthless and brutal dictators in history. During his rule over the Soviet Union, Stalin implemented policies that led to the deaths of millions of people through forced labor camps, purges, and man-made famines such as the Holodomor in Ukraine.
Stalin's authoritarian regime was characterized by repression, political persecution, and the suppression of dissent. His policies resulted in immense suffering and loss of life among the Soviet population.
While some may argue that Stalin's actions were driven by ideological zeal or a desire to consolidate power, the devastating impact of his rule on countless lives has led many historians and ethicists to conclude that Stalin's actions were indeed evil.
me Was Mussolini evil? ChatGPT Benito Mussolini, the fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943, is often considered to be on the same spectrum of evil as Hitler and Stalin, though his actions and impact are sometimes viewed as less extreme.
Mussolini's regime was characterized by authoritarianism, suppression of political dissent, and the use of violence to maintain control. He implemented aggressive expansionist policies, including the invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 and participation in World War II as an ally of Nazi Germany.
While Mussolini's atrocities may not have reached the same scale as Hitler's genocide or Stalin's purges, his regime still committed numerous human rights abuses and contributed to the suffering of many people. Ultimately, whether one considers Mussolini "evil" depends on their assessment of his actions and the moral framework they use to evaluate them.

ME - Was Mort Weisinger a bully? chatGPT -Mort Weisinger, a prominent figure in the comic book industry, particularly known for his work at DC Comics, has a complex legacy. While some portray him as a tough editor who demanded high standards from his creative teams, others have described him as being abrasive or difficult to work with at times. There are accounts from various comic creators who have worked with him, sharing both positive and negative experiences. Some have characterized him as a bully, citing instances of harsh criticism and conflicts. However, it's essential to recognize that perceptions of individuals can vary widely, and not all interactions may have been negative. Weisinger's impact on the comic book industry is undeniable, but like many figures from the past, his personality and management style were likely influenced by the norms and practices of his time. I suppose it's a good thing that a computer isn't judging people. Yet. Unless it's Hitler, you'll never get it to speak badly of anyone.

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. It isn’t. I read something once about how we could get legal advice via AI one day. Not me. If I encountered a legal issue, I’d want a lawyer who, while helpful, would NOT tell me what he/she THINKS I want to hear. I’d want a lawyer to be candid, even if it the answer isn’t entirely reassuring. I certainly would not want an AI legal bot giving me an unhelpful answer. I have to say, it's surprisingly good at just giving you some, well, ideas. A brainstorming session had been organized at work to propose new projects. Everyone had to bring ideas. I asked ChatGPT (providing of course what the context of my work was) and a couple of his suggestions were really good!

Incidentally, ChatGPT is as good at answering specific questions about comics as it is about laws and rulings.
Two lawyers practically ruined their careers for using it.

This raises a question for me: Did the controversy over violence in comics only begin after WWII? No. Comics were being called out for violence, sexual innuendo, and "cheap political propaganda" (i.e., anti-Naziism) as early as May 8, 1940, when literary critic Sterling North published a scathing indictment of the industry in a Chicago Daily News editorial that garnered nationwide attention. The war slowed the momentum of the anti-comic book movement, but it was always simmering below the surface. For more details, I refer you to Chapter 1 of my book (American Comic Book Chronicles 1940-44).
Cei-U! I summon the straight skinny!
Thank you! I summon the anti-ChatGPT
