@hedron I'm thinking of using ChatGPT in my next maths masterclass. I'll ask it questions, then ask the students to analyse the answers.

In this way I hope to cover some interesting material, increase their ability to spot nonsense, and increase their distrust of so-called "AI systems".

@ColinTheMathmo Good idea!

Try it on this old favourite ... :)

Place N spots around a circle and join each pair of spots by straight lines. What is the greatest number of regions into which the circle can be divided by this means?

ChatGPT confidently (and semi-plausibly) got it wrong, twice.
