Note that the comment you’re replying to is quoting GPT3, not 4.
GPT-4 says:
A pound of feathers and a Great British Pound (GBP) are not directly comparable, as they represent different types of measurements.
A pound of feathers refers to a unit of mass and is equivalent to 16 ounces (or approximately 453.59 grams). It is a measure of the weight of an object, in this case, feathers.
On the other hand, a Great British Pound (GBP) is a unit of currency used in the United Kingdom. It represents a monetary value rather than a physical weight.
Thus, it's not possible to directly compare the two, as they serve entirely different purposes and units of measurement.
Since the question's context is about weight I'd expect it to consider "a Great British Pound" to mean a physical £1 sterling coin, and compare its weight (~9 grams) to the weight of the feathers (454 grams [ 1kg = 2.2lb, or "a bag of sugar" ]) .
