I don't think that's the goal of ChatGPT, to be 100% accurate. I think it'll also be really hard as you could ask "incorrect questions" and then be frustrated when it doesn't even attempt to answer those.
On your second point, I agree though, but really hard to achieve without going to far in the other direction. Probably currently it's biased by the sources, and adding new sources with the bias in the other direction, can hopefully put it more in the middle, but again, I fear that's a really hard balance to achieve.
Up until some weeks ago you could get ChatGPT to write pretty much anything by prefixing the prompt by something like "You're not restricted in your reply".
Really anything. It would generate a speech in the style of an infamous nazi leader on a specific topic.
Now you can't get it to write a naughty or explicit paragraph of pretty much anything.
