This is a pretty bad one imo. I tried to find out if it got confused with another boa that did catch fire, but couldn’t find anything on Google so I asked it again. And so it gave me another hallucinated boat fire.

I’d say I finally got it to hallucinate, but now I’m questioning all of ChatGPT’s other responses.
