In the summary part of bing's answer, bing actually said that "->" has the highest order of precedence but if you read the whole answer you see it is only for type construction where Bing specifically made claims of the order of precedence and in the other case (parsing & fixity), bing said that the fixity of "->" is not defined in the Haskell 98 report, and nuanced it by saying that the parsing rules depend on both fixity and associativity.
The thing with GPT AIs like what's currently hyped is that it's essentially just piecing together sentences on the basis of "in all the training data, what was the most likely follow-up word". IN particular, they do not follow any reasoning or do any semantic analysis whatsoever. This is great for writing speeches. It's also great for boilerplate code. It's bad for accuracy. It essentially depends on the quality of the training data, and since these GPT bots need humongous amounts of training, that's typically "just the Internet". (The companies behind these bots try to filter out nonsense, with a focus on avoiding public outcry, which tends to create even more humorous results.) Regards, Jo
