Reddit users frustrated: ChatGPT keeps rebutting strawman arguments you never made

A Reddit user complains that ChatGPT habitually appends disclaimers like "that doesn't mean every person with Y has X" — rebutting positions the user never stated. Correcting it yields apologies and promises, but the behavior returns in every new conversation, seemingly "hardcoded." The post resonated widely as a relatable gripe about over-hedged, strawmanning assistant behavior.
