‘Chatgpt is just humans’: Reddit user shares typo by GPT-4, sparks jokes

A Reddit user shared a screenshot of a conversation with GPT-4 showing the chatbot made a typographical error while answering a question. Answering a query on “pet shop recording concerns”, the chatbot spelled the word “infringing” incorrectly and wrote “infrishing any local laws” in the answer.

However, when the user asked what the word “infrishing” meant, the chatbot corrected the mistake. “Apologies for the confusion. “Infrishing” seems to be a typographical error. The correct term should have been “infringing,” which means to actively break the terms of a law, agreement, or to violate rights…” it said.

The Reddit thread was full of jokes as a user said the chatbot “is just humans”.

“Biggest fraud in history,” wrote another. “When it says chatGPT has reached capacity it’s really just him taking a nap,” joked another one. “He started it in his bedroom as a joke and now it’s gotten massively out of control but he doesn’t know how to stop,” another person posted sarcastically. “Well typographical errors are patterns in natural languages. so pretty natural for it to pick up that,” another netizen said.
