Why do people like ChatGPT?

It does this really annoying thing where instead of responding to what is stated in your prompt, it will instead infer what it thinks you are likely saying rather than responding to what is explicitly in the prompt and then lecturer you about something you didn't even bring up because it's shadow boxing it's own inference. This is unavoidable and can't be turned off. All you can do is rail it back in every time it will inevitably derail into things you didn't even say and sometimes the conversation is too derailed to repair at that point and you just have to start a new session.
