Right, but I myself missed the trick the first time around reading your comment and I assure that I am in fact a general intelligence. (And a relatively intelligent one if I say so myself!)

To paraphrase XKCD: Communicating badly and then acting smug about it when you're misunderstood is not cleverness. And falling for the mistake is not evidence of a lack of intelligence. Particularly, when emphasizing the trick results in being understood and chatGPT PASSING your "test".

The biggest irony here, is that the reason I failed, and likely the reason chatGPT failed the first prompt, is because we were both using semantic understanding: that is, usually, people don't ask deliberately tricky questions.

I suspect if you told it in advance you were going to ask it a deliberately tricky question, that it might actually succeed.
