Questions to ChatGPT about Max Weber: Theory of Power and Authority, Ideal Types

In this exercise, ChatGPT is designed to answer questions about Max Weber and his concept of ideal types without prior input from the students. The aim of this exercise is to show that the programme does not provide an ideal summary and in some places also provides incorrect information, that it takes a considerable amount of work to check the answers and that the programme cannot "understand", but performs arithmetic operations and works with probabilities.
