I have also tried it for technology questions and the proggies don't keep up with newer data even if you supply it to GPT3. My examples were fission and fusion. It can only do what it is told!! Informed!!!

Also a human faced with such a ridiculous proposition might well add some kind of twist, like talking about the environmental benefits of decommissioning highways so that cars no longer can drive on them, or even some black humor about the benefits of honing children's reflexes as they dodge cars, but ChatGPT never really seems capable of this kind of lateral thinking.

If you are given a lousy position to take in a debate you can't really make a "good" argument, but my point was that ChatGPT can make the best of a bad situation and make an argument at least as well as a human can, and certainly far better if time is a consideration because ChatGPT can think on its feet very quickly.
