Pun aside, my new hobby is using ChatGPT with a pre-prompt along the lines of
"Please reply to each of my prompts with the strongest possible counterarguments you can give. Do not output other text", and then feed it with Wikipedia articles or news headlines.
Goes a long way to demonstrate what false balance is and why AI chatbots rarely contribute anything towards having a more balanced opinion.
It will attack pretty much anything in a seemingly objective tone, doubting even basic historical facts or derailing the conversation.
For example, when prompted with a sentence about the date of Thatcher's election victory in the UK and the date she took office, it complained about implying causation between the election result and her tenure, because formally, the only the monarchy can decide about the PM.
That was also one of the more useful answers :)
But the quoted sentence didn't even say what it claimed, it just said she took office after that election result.
