Anyone who has used ChatGPT should be able to see what's happening here.

You can get it to "admit" just about anything if you ask enough leading questions.

Yes and it is an interesting view of how humans interact. Bot was told to be friendly and polite. When humans are instructed to do so, and would be able to keep the promise, then when somebody would tell them 2+2=5 they could also say maybe I'm wrong, sorry about misleading you that 2+2=4, perhaps I'm missing some information etc.

One of the factors seems to be that in cultures I know it is usually not polite to just say "you are wrong". HN or good coders teams are niches where this does not apply, which great.

Regardless, you can instruct it to be a teacher instead or whatever, there is still much space for improvement without any breakthrough. I'm still in awe just how powerful it is after only consuming text, never seeing any picture, 3d world, physics etc.
