I was kind of surprised by that too. I don't know much about Chat GPT and assumed it was mainly gathering and regurgitating info from online. I'm not sure where it got its 'intelligence.' Possibly from books and magazines or other digitized material?
Maybe I'll go back and ask it.

So I went back and asked:
I asked: If you're not using the internet for your references where are you obtaining the information about sit and switch paddling?
It responded: "
As an AI language model, my responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data. I have been trained on a diverse range of sources, including books, websites, and other texts, to develop a broad understanding of various topics.
For general knowledge questions, I can provide information based on what I have been trained on up until September 2021. However, it's important to note that I do not have direct access to specific sources or the ability to browse the internet in real-time. Therefore, my responses are based on the information I have been trained on and may not include the most recent developments or specific instances that have occurred after my knowledge cutoff.
In the case of "sit and switch" paddling, the information I provided was based on the general understanding of the technique as it was known up until September 2021. If there have been any recent developments or specific instances related to the term "hit and switch," I may not be aware of them. It's always a good idea to consult the most up-to-date sources, such as canoeing organizations or instructors, for the latest information and terminology."
