I've been using ChatGPT to discuss a comic book I read, but I found that it keeps agreeing with my incorrect recollections, even when I intentionally make up nonsensical versions. I'm looking for ways to prompt it to point out when I'm mistaken or misremembering instead of just agreeing blindly. Is there a better way to interact with it to get more accurate feedback?

You might want to try using prompts that specifically ask ChatGPT not to agree with you or to challenge your assumptions. For instance, phrase your question with something like, 'Can you tell me if there are any inaccuracies in my summary?' This way, it understands you’re looking for correction instead of affirmation.
That sounds like a solid tip! I'd also recommend mixing in questions that are more open-ended. Instead of asking for confirmation, ask what it thinks about a certain element—this might encourage it to engage more critically.
