I tested ChatGPT’s deep research with the most misunderstood law on the internet

OpenAI ’s ChatGPT has released a report on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act .

The report is a new feature meant to produce complex and sophisticated reports on specific topics.

But it missed some broader points that a competent human expert might acknowledge.

It ignored a full year of legal decisions, which, unfortunately, happened to upend the law.

ChatGPT's output felt a bit like a report on 2002 to 2007 cellphone trends ending with the rise of the BlackBerry .

Legal experts say Section 230’s shield is becoming less ironclad.

I’m impressed by deep research as a technology but from my limited vantage point, it might still be a product for people who want to believe in it, not those who just want it to work.
