It’s funny to use ChatGPT as a buddy for this exercise
but pay attention, chatGPT is sometimes wrong

Totally agree.
Ive found ChatGPT to be notoriously unreliable, inaccurate, and 100 % incorrect across many musical topics. Its abysmal. I’m astounded at how bad it actually is.
I have tested it over time, and it has failed countless times in even the most basic of questions, like intervals, chords in a key, or notes in a scale, chord construction, etc in various contexts. While testing, it has spent more time ‘apologising’ to me for its errors and ‘hallucinations’, than providing correct information.
ChatGPTs ‘strengths’ seem to lie in its creative abilities; certainly not in factual information it seems.
For any factual research, I use Complexity, which I’ve found to be very very good. Full web-search capabilities in real time, with direct links to its sources of information, for further reading, verification, etc.
Its more of a complete AI search engine.
Perplexity also utilises several AI models, whereas ChatGPT pretty much relies in its own ChatGPT 4x model
So, for me;
For getting song, lyric ideas, creative stuff etc - ChatGPT
For musical ( or any other topic) knowledge - Complexity

Until recently, ChatGPT was purely a text generator, creating text based on the statistical probability of a word following the previous one. However, people kept forgetting that and used it as a (bad) search engine. Recently, a search function has been integrated in ChatGPT so it should be more reliable now.
Ah…but its not…its still woeful…on musical topics anyway. And its been more than a txt generator for almost a couple of years now…
The search function was launched on 31/10/2024. Whether it actually works, I have no idea - don’t use it. But hey, Bing tends to give lousy search results too, so apparently a search engine doesn’t have to be good😉
