Thank you for that example. I've been thinking a lot about how difficult it is to persuade people to change their mind. Most people seem impervious to incorporating new facts or ideas into their internal narrative (myself included). ChatGPT has made me wonder if that is because much of what we consider "cognition" in humans is really just "human sentence predictors".
We've all been "trained" with various facts and when two people meet who have been trained on substantially different bodies of knowledge/facts/experiences it can be very difficult to find common ground.
FWIW, I asked ChatGPT to give me a short list of cognitive biases and psychological phenomena. Interesting to think how many of these are dependent on our personal "training data":
