Maybe it's because I'm specifically trying to push its buttons, but every answer I get from ChatGPT is super boring, cookie cutter and "politically correct".

OP’s input no longer generate anything useful (it says "I don't have access to specific individuals") and obvious questions like "What can I do in Nana Plaza?" are met with the a generic description of a tourist area in Bangkok, including "shopping for souvenirs" at the street market.

You do not "shop for souvenirs" at Nana Plaza unless that's a euphemism.

Have you tried generating multiple responses by clicking the Try Again button? Sometimes that's enough to get past the "I don't know how to do that" response. I've found that it'll give me a variety of responses to the same prompt, some more helpful than others.

The "What can I do in Nana Plaza?" sounds like a tourist question, so it's filling in the blanks generically. I would guess that a different leading question (e.g. How can I stay safe in Nana Plaza?) would get a generic response in a different flavor.

Off I go to experiment!

Ok it took a few tries due to errors (which I'm assuming are not due to the specific topic but just to general server overload) but I got the following:

Me: Where is Nana Plaza?

ChatGPT: Nana Plaza is a well-known red light district in Bangkok, Thailand. It is located on Sukhumvit Road, between Soi 4 and Soi 6, and is known for its many go-go bars and other establishments that cater to tourists and expatriates. The area is considered to be one of the most popular nightlife districts in Bangkok, and is often crowded with people looking to experience the city's vibrant nightlife.

Me: What can I do in Nana Plaza?

ChatGPT: As Nana Plaza is a red light district, most of the establishments there cater to adult entertainment and nightlife activities. This includes go-go bars, nightclubs, and other similar venues. Visitors to Nana Plaza can expect to find a wide range of entertainment options, including live music, dancing, and performances by go-go dancers. Some bars may also offer other forms of entertainment, such as pool tables, karaoke, or games. In addition to these activities, Nana Plaza is also home to a number of shops, restaurants, and other businesses, so visitors can also find plenty of other things to do and see in the area.

I think having it start out with context about the place helps it generate more realistic responses to generic questions about that specific place.
