Google's answer box also can't be trusted to output truthful information.

  I believe this is the point that @drivebycomment was making, that answering such a query is not possible right now. The query needs to be reframed by using keywords like the GPT-3 prompt did, and even further refined than that, and you still have to finish the last mile of research.

  Fun one today: https://www.google.com/search?q=is+fortigate+open+source https://www.google.com/search?q=is+fortigate+open+source Prompt: "Is Fortigate open source?" Article: "Based on the parameters we compared, it seems that pfSense is the more favorable solution because it is open source and also offers great features." Google: "It is open source!"

    Yes, these are forever spreading disinformation on various topics in my social group. I am forever telling people to actually click and read the article rather than trust the automatic tl;dr by Google.

  Google simply returns human written results, so delegating the trust problem. You can track author's record and judge if they're trustworthy yourself. Doing the same thing for GPT-3 is much harder. How are you going to debug the model? Probably there is only a handful amount of people who is capable of debugging the model even with all necessary access granted. You can think it as autonomous driving which already has reached to a good level for 99% of use cases (at least for Waymo and Cruise), but no one think it's going to mass deploy robotaxi anytime soon.
