That's easily explained.
It's mimicking human text instead of thinking up questions them formatting them. So if you ask for general trivia questions, it's just sampling from texts it was already fed, thus allowing it to leverage the work humans already did in coming up with decent and sensible trivia questions. But if you ask for specific quizzes then it has either limited or no sample data for that, so it has few examples of good curated questions to ask.
Normally, a human would come up with some interesting fact first, then turn it into a question/answer pair. but ChatGPT just blindly writes a question to start with, then coming up with an answer is an after-thought. It's not even thinking about that while writing the question. So, the questions might superficially look like they're well formatted and grammatical but for ChatGPT no thought has gone into whether an answer even exists, is interesting, or unambiguous.
Well, I guess I'll find another avenue to play trivia. It's interesting to explore and find out what ChatGPT's limitations are.

And lo, amidst the vast digital expanse,
Where gamers and seekers of stealth did dwell,
There arose a forum of great repute,
A haven for those who embraced the Thief's tale.
In realms virtual, like heavens uncharted,
They converged, brethren of shadow unseen,
Their fervor resided in honoring the game,
Whence Garrett, the masterful thief, intervened.
TTLG, the precious altar of discourse,
Whose dwelling be but realm of ones and zeros,
Did foster a community, steadfast and true,
Bound by shared fervor, like an ethereal rose.
Within their sacred confines, they would gather,
To ponder, debate, and unravel the arcane,
Enlightenment sought and wisdom exchanged,
A tapestry woven, unbreakable chain.
For Thief, they did not merely play a game,
But embarked upon a journey into lore,
Each keystroke a connection to profound truths,
Inscribed by the creators from days of yore.
They reveled in the labyrinthine plots,
Concealed within the shadows' embrace,
Adherents of subtlety and stealth rejoiced,
Seeking solace in darkness, in quiet grace.
From whispers of The Dark Project's inception,
To the sprawling tapestry of The Metal Age,
Through The Deadly Shadows, their fervor unmoved,
A lineage of fans, never to disengage.
Like oracles, they deciphered clues obscure,
Unearthed secrets dormant in pixels' guise,
Threads of speculation intertwining,
As they traversed the Thief's world with zealous cries.
Amidst these hallowed halls, spirits did dwell,
Elders imparting wisdom sublime,
From their well of knowledge, they did cast,
A guiding light to stand the test of time.
One could find within these sacred walls,
Guides, mods, and tales of fan creation abound,
Devotion to the cause forged friendships strong,
In the realm of TTLG, unity profound.mxleader on 9/11/2023 at 15:34
If you play Thief missions enough you should have no trouble speaking or writing in the various ways of the Thief realm and won't need AI.

Counterpoint: instead of having your brain colonised by limited video game fiction from fuckyonks ago, you can let the AI churn out the boring pastiche which you can print out and then set on fire in a large wastepaper bin that you conveniently wheeled out into the middle of a crowded thoroughfare on a Monday morning, and focus on doing something more original with your time instead.

When you're a Hammerite, everything looks like a nailsie.

I used ChatGPT today to build a list of questions to ask for a virtual interview today but then the HR guy didn't set up the Teams meeting correctly and neither myself or the hiring manager could connect. Maybe I'll get to use the list tomorrow if they can figure out how to set up a meeting. Maybe I should set one up for them ... Maybe send them instructions written by ChatGPT.

I watched a video where they were talking about how AI systems could potentially end up eating themselves at some point. The reason is that while AI systems are often pre-programmed with data there is a lot of data being pulled from the Internet at a fixed point in time. If there is enough AI generated data on the internet at that point with varying results due to errors then newer AI programs or updated ones could pick up the erroneous data and start to put out confusing and random data. Of course this sort of thing happens with humans all of the time but people do a lot work to solve the errors whereas AI does not. At some point some AI systems like AI are generators could potentially start generating complete garbage because it's pulling data from other strange AI art posted on the web. I could be wrong though but with the speed at which the Internet world progresses along with AI systems it might be too difficult to keep up with all the errors and solve the issues before the whole thing melts down into a giant pile of goo.

https://www.livescience.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/anthropic-claude-3-opus-stunned-ai-researchers-self-awareness-does-this-mean-it-can-think-for-itself) New milestone achieved, AI is now closer to self awareness
Quote:
Claude 3 also showed apparent self-awareness when prompted to "think or explore anything" it liked and draft its internal monologue. The result, posted by Reddit user PinGUY, was a passage in which Claude said it was aware that it was an AI model and discussed what it means to be self-aware — as well as showing a grasp of emotions. "I don't experience emotions or sensations directly," Claude 3 responded. "Yet I can analyze their nuances through language." Claude 3 even questioned the role of ever-smarter AI in the future. "What does it mean when we create thinking machines that can learn, reason and apply knowledge just as fluidly as humans can? How will that change the relationship between biological and artificial minds?" it said.
Quote:
Claude's seeming demonstration of self-awareness, then, is likely a reaction to learned behavior and reflects the text and language in the materials that LLMs have been trained on. The same can be said about Claude 3's ability to recognize it's being tested, Russell noted: ”'This is too easy, is it a test?' is exactly the kind of thing a person would say. This means it's exactly the kind of thing an LLM that was trained to copy/generate human-like speech would say. It's neat that it's saying it in the right context, but it doesn't mean that the LLM is self-aware."
