#ChatGPT is interesting and accurate for some queries, but it's a total dunce for historical enquiry. I asked it to give me a list of famous people born in #Lisburn... the answers we very disappointing and almost wholly incorrect. Pity, I'd loved to have found a connection between #JeremyIrons, #WilliamGladstone, the #Brontes and loyalist terrorist Michael Stone! :bucky:
