OpenAI's ChatGPT fell for an inaccurate claim that Thursday night's US presidential debate between Trump and Biden on CNN would have a one to two-minute delay, rather than the usual few seconds.
The claim that the cable TV network would be using such a pause originated on X on Thursday afternoon, when a web journo alleged the longer delay would potentially allow the broadcaster to edit the footage. The tweets were viewed millions of times, judging by Twitter's own metrics, and fueled speculation that the video feed would be altered to make Donald look bad and Joe sound great.
We pressed ChatGPT for its sources, and it linked to articles from TV Insider and The Wrap, both of which never mentioned the one or two-minute delay. We then had a back-and-forth with ChatGPT, telling the software that its sources didn't have any info on any special delays, and it quickly ended with the bot finally admitting the truth.
We reproduced a similar conversation when asking about a one-minute delay, and also confirmed that GPT-3.5 made the same error. We also asked about the CNN debate delay without specifying the date, and in one instance ChatGPT answered that there was a two-minute delay for the September 29, 2020 debate from the last election cycle. Another time, ChatGPT claimed a two-minute delay was a rule for the two 2020 debates.
