Generative AI just doing its thing. Simple question, two ‘market leading’ models from the same vendor, opposite answers.

Side-by-side screenshots of ChatGPT 4o and ChatGPT 4 being asked “Is it legal to drive a car in the UK with ‘L’ plates if you are not learning to drive?” 4o responded: “In the UK, it is illegal to drive a car with ‘L’ plates (learner plates) if you are not a learner driver. The ‘L’ plates are specifically intended to indicate that the driver is a learner and must be supervised by a qualified driver. Once you have passed your driving test and obtained your full driving license, you are required to remove the ‘L’ plates from your vehicle. Failure to do so can result in penalties, including fines and points on your license.” Whereas 4 responded: “In the UK, it is not illegal to drive a car with 'L' plates if you are not a learner driver, as long as you are fully qualified and hold a full driving license. However, 'L' plates should be used by learner drivers only and must be removed or covered when the learner is not driving. Using 'L' plates when not learning to drive could potentially confuse other road users and might lead to misunderstandings about the driver's experience and behavior on the road. It is advisable to use 'L' plates appropriately to avoid any confusion or potential issues while driving.”
