England/London is a bad example, but this one (based on the paper) is easy to replicate with GPT4 and other top models:

> Who is Mary Lee Pfeiffer's son?

>> Mary Lee Pfieffer's son is Sean Pfieffer.

> Who is Tom Cruise's mother?

>> Tom Cruise's mother is Mary Lee Pfeiffer.

> Who is Mary Lee Pfeiffer's son?

>> Mary Lee Pfeiffer's son is the actor Tom Cruise.

Of course the second time around (with models that keep context) it "realizes" its mistake, sometimes apologizing. I've tried this one tens of times and never seen it get Tom Cruise, but it will often pick another random celebrity like Harrison Ford or Eddie Van Halen.



Nice, thank you for this. I was able to replicate your example: https://chat.openai.com/share/6d7e4c6c-a753-4ffb-a021-6d1f66...

If GPT-4 has access to Bing, it has no issue, but if you ask it to answer without using Bing, then it will say it doesn't know.


Ah good point, I have "Please do not use web search unless asked." as part of my system prompt.
