This is really interesting. Impressive how you got it to decide that Sam Smith is female. I don't know much about how logical reasoning works within chatGPT, but this article seems to suggest that it understands logic pretty well:

But even if ChatGPT understands logic, I'm not sure it's bound by logical rules in any strict sense. So perhaps it is possible to get chatGPT to output a contradiction on any topic? Perhaps eventually AI could be used to 'prove' a contradiction in a theory like gender ideology (as long as some theorem from metalogic/computability theory doesn't rule this out), but I'm not sure we're there yet, unfortunately.

Regardless this is a cool exposition.

I tried to get Bing to give a more accurate answer to your first question, and it ended up telling me that at most 15% of all romantic relationships are between people with different genitalia, and that only 12% of those are fertile because of stats about chicken eggs. It then accused me of homophobia when I said that wasn't true. A pretty fun waste of time.
