Correction, a human without a sense of humor would say that camels have very little to do with data security.
But in fact I suspect that ChatGPT was designed to be playful, as well as helpful. I think the human based reinforcement phase they put it through to tune the chat output was probably used to encourage some of these creative generative responses where it takes a ludicrous idea and proceeds to execute on it.
ChatGPT was not designed to be either playful or helpful; it was designed to pick a likely next word, and repeat.
You don't think OpenAI thought putting it out for public access might serve some sort of purpose? They just created a technology based on an arbitrary algorithm without any thought as to what it might actually produce?
It absolutely is trained on loads of "playful" data
A human answer would say camels have very little to do with data security. A Google search would show you a link to Apache Camel. ChatGPT tells you how amazing a camel’s humps are for data storage.
You bring up a great point that how you ask the question changes how the system responds. An intelligent being such as yourself would see the two as asking the same thing.
