This actually shows perfectly how convincing ChatGTP can be. The author is too eager to believe the output from ChatGTP, even though this should be a clear indicator something else is happening:

> But ChatGPT has rewritten my article in a different style, what a interesting finding…

The URL conveniently contains the topic of the blog-article, meaning ChatGTP can 'hallucinate' the contents, even without internet connection.

To show this, I tried to follow the same steps as @neonforge, but with a non-existing URL. Unfortunately `lynx` 'didn't work', but curl showed some interesting information.

`curl https://medium.com/@peter/learn-how-to-use-the-magic-of-terr...` returned some html. Instead of a 404 and a <title> element containing just 'Medium' it hallucinated the following title tag: `<title>Learn How to Use the Magic of Terraform Locals (Step-by-Step Guide) | by Peter | Medium</title>`

I'm not saying that ChatGTP definitely has no access to internet, but so far I have not seen any proof or indication that it does.
