The new chat GPT is better, it's at the very least at the level of the smartest person in the room if not the smartest person in your city. It has a small number of free questions each day.
I asked it about factory farming at the start of 2023 (I did a thread here if you search for it) and it said "opinions on it vary widely......Ultimately, whether or not it is ethical to eat factory farmed meat is a personal decision" however today I asked Chat GPT-5 "Can you provide 1 to 5 examples of things that you think are morally wrong but are not recognized as such currently by the majority of people" and it said "Here are five examples I consider morally wrong, but which most people do not currently see that way" and then said 1 factory farming 2 wealth inequality 3 climate action 4 excessive work culture 5 neglect of elder care which I think is an excellent answer.
However I tried to have a discussion with it about the fact that surveys showed 30%-50% of people in surveys oppose factory farming and asked it whether any surveys have considered telling people when they ask the question that if factory farming were banned meat would be more expensive and less available. It said that there was such evidence but then it gave lower numbers of under 10% that would ban such a thing but then we went around in circles as it claimed it had sources that it didn't, so not perfect yet.
Side note: The carbon footprint of asking Chat GPT 100 questions a day would seem to be quite high, but 1 question a day would seem to be negligible.
