ChatGPT and the Cisco Kid

June 2024

Using Artificial Intelligence services for historical info on classic movies is decidedly hit-and-miss. Below is my effort to talk to an AI at ChatGPT about Cesar Romero

Cinemagraphe: Please provide a list of all the films featuring the character the Cisco Kid as portrayed by Cesar Romero.

ChatGPT: Cesar Romero did not portray the Cisco Kid in any films. However, he did portray the Cisco Kid's sidekick, Gordito, in two films:

"The Cisco Kid and the Lady" (1939)
"The Return of the Cisco Kid" (1939)

In these films, the Cisco Kid himself was portrayed by Warner Baxter. The character of Cisco Kid has been portrayed by various actors in film and television adaptations over the years, but Cesar Romero's role was that of his sidekick.

[Knowing this was an error, I sought to ask a "corrective' question to get the AI back on track.]
