Me:
> Hey I'm looking to know a little bit about that one town that is at the center of the state of Oregon...I can't remember the name.
ChatGPT:
> I'm sorry, but I'm not able to browse the internet to find information about a specific town in Oregon. I'm a large language model trained by OpenAI, so I can answer general questions based on my training data, but I don't have access to current information or the ability to browse the web. Is there something specific you would like to know about a town in Oregon? I'd be happy to help if I can.
I think this shows that it's not some omnipotent being and more a very clever deployment of a language model trained on a finite (but extremely large) training set.
- xg15 4y agoI don't think this is a valid argument. Humans could always relatively easy pretend to be a chatbot, just the inverse didn't work until now. In this case, the knowledge limitations of the model are well-known, so if you wanted to fake this, your human operators would be instructed to play along and not reveal any information that the model could not know.
- bradhe 4y agoI’m arguing this is just a dumb bit and nothing more. You’re arguing this is a scam (human impersonating a bot). These are different assertions.
