What are the pros and cons of UCLA? Is ChatGPT right?

This reply pretty much checks the ChatGPT boxes IMO: mostly correct if generic info that is (again IMO) like a particularly unhelpful salesperson. Much of what it says about UCLA could be generalized to many universities, which means the spirit of the question isn’t really answered.

It is (of course) blissfully unaware of its own near-contradictions. For example a helpful human might throw some nuanced explanation of how UCLA could be both welcoming and stressfully competitive (not saying it isn’t true, but it needs further depth).

A helpful human would spend a bit of time on Westwood instead of just touching on LA as a whole.

Descriptions of departmental strengths are so bland and broad as to be almost useless.

I don’t like insulting people so maybe I’m going overboard with insulting this non-person.
