ChatGPT tells me Marcello Gandini contributed to the design of the second-generation Camaro. This isn't true is it?

Probably best to ask him. Robert Cumberford probably knows. I see him this week and will ask.
Robot wars: Bing should argue it out with Perplexity (also a ChatGPT based Ai); Marcello Gandini did not design the Camaro. He is renowned for his work on various iconic cars, such as the Lamborghini Miura, Lancia Stratos, and the Alfa Romeo Montreal.While he had a significant impact on automotive design, there is no evidence to suggest that he was involved in the design of the Camaro.
The second generation Chevrolet Camaro was designed by Henry Haga, who was the chief of Chevy Studio 3 at the time. The design work for the second generation Camaro began in 1966, and it was introduced for the 1970 model year
. Therefore, Marcello Gandini was not involved in the development of the second generation Camaro. Gandini was an influential car designer, known for his work on several iconic cars, including:
- Lamborghini Miura
- Lancia Stratos
- Alfa Romeo Montreal
- Lamborghini Countach
- Citroen BX
- BMW E3 2800
- Renault 5 Turbo
- Cizeta V16T
- Maserati Shamal
- Maserati Ghibli (second generation)
- Maserati (fourth series)
Gandini's designs have had a significant impact on the automotive industry, ranging from supercars to practical road cars. His work reflects a diverse and influential contribution to car design.
Since chatGPT is trained on the world wide web (well, part of the 40TB of data it trains on), almost any time you should be able to do an old-fashioned Google search and find a correlating answer. Perplexity is also an OpenAI/chatgpt language model, but somehow tries to correlate...
Marcello Gandini did help design the Iso Grifo, but there is no evidence to suggest that he was involved in the development of the Espada. Gandini is renowned for his work on iconic cars such as the Lamborghini Miura, Lancia Stratos, and the Alfa Romeo Montreal, but he has also designed cars for Iso Rivolta, including the Iso Grifo.
Oh, here is what probably tripped it up--since LLMs work by simply trying to parrot which words seem to occur with other words, even an article like this (where the camaro is just mentioned) can become fact in this probalistic decision of a neural net;
