Interestingly gpt4 gives a slightly different response:
I’m sorry, but as of my last update in September 2021, Michael Jackson passed away in June 2009. I am unable to provide any recent updates or information beyond that date. If there have been any posthumous releases or tributes, I would recommend checking the latest news sources for the most up-to-date information.
Honestly not sure if it’s better or worse. It could be better in that it realizes the absurdity in asking what he’s up to and assumes you must be talking about posthumous music releases instead.
Could be worse in that it should know we’re obviously talking about the person and not his music and shouldn’t jump to that conclusion.
But that’s honestly even a tough call for a human. If someone asks a strange question like that, do you assume they mean exactly what they speak or do you assume what they speak is not what they actually mean and then adjust the answer to fit what they probably mean?
The rest of the way the answer is structured just comes out of the system prompt telling it to remind the user of its cutoff date.
I’m not trying to argue and I’m not saying you’re wrong or right, I’m just kind of thinking out loud.
But as it is a meme, yeah gpt what the hell, who knows lol
