I don't think it's right to involuntarily send someone to a psychiatric ward because he believed that he was chosen by ChatGPT to be the pope.

For the same reason I don't think we should send the pope to a psychiatric ward because he believes that he was chosen for that role by an invisible man in the sky.

At least there's no doubt that ChatGPT exists lol. People should be allowed to be as whacky as they like so long as it's legal.

And who knows, he is getting some attention now so his probability of becoming pope actually went up a tiny bit lol.

One thing is clear, you should not be sent to the HN gulag simply because you don't understand what you're talking about. Me and others realize you don't know how the pope is chosen, but damn if I'm not willing to die for your right to state something that is utterly wrong.
