Is ESG a Bad Idea? The Chatgpt Response

This study asked ChatGPT to write a 1000-word essay explaining why the concept of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is a bad idea. It refused to do so because of its ethical belief (yes, it has ethical beliefs) that ESG is a good idea, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. After reading its essay, a few more questions related to ESG were asked and answered. Several major inaccuracies were found in the sources it cited. The conclusion was that, although ChatGPT may be a good research tool for generating a rough first draft, caution should be exercised because of the many inaccuracies found during the course of this study. After reading ChatGPT’s replies, it became obvious that whoever wrote the code for this software had a strong left-wing bias, which also decreased the value of the bot’s responses
