ChatGPT seems more human in the sense that it speaks with authority on topics it doesn't understand.

Q: If it takes one woman 9 months to grow a baby, how many months will it take 6 women to grow babies? Show your work.

CHATGPT:

Assuming that each woman grows one baby, the total time it takes for six women to grow babies can be calculated by multiplying the time it takes for one woman by the number of women:

Total time = Time per woman x Number of women

Total time = 9 months x 6 women

Total time = 54 months

Therefore, it would take 6 women a total of 54 months to grow babies.

BARD:

6 women cannot grow babies faster than 1 woman. It takes 9 months for a baby to grow inside a woman, regardless of how many women are involved.

BING:

If it takes one woman 9 months to grow a baby, then it would take 6 women the same amount of time to grow 6 babies. So, it would still take 9 months for 6 women to grow babies.

The type of question you are asking here is ambiguous, because is actually not wrong. I does indeed take 54 (life) months to grow six babies. How much external time elapses is undefined. Bard and Bing are just giving you a more "human" and less logical answer that sounds more correct but introduce an assumption that the women all conceive at the same time. But that was not given in the question.

This question seems to imply that the time it takes to grow a baby can be divided among multiple women, but that's not how human gestation works. The gestation period for a single human baby is approximately 9 months, regardless of the number of women involved.

So, if 6 women are each growing a baby, it would still take each of them approximately 9 months to complete the gestation process. They would each be growing their babies concurrently (at the same time), and after 9 months, there would be 6 babies born.
