Well, if your goal is information does the provenance being a machine matter? Quality here I assume means more detailed and better written with more nuance. For most of my knowledge seeking searches I don’t care much who wrote it and more whether I gain the knowledge I seek
- tablespoon 4y ago> Well, if your goal is information does the provenance being a machine matter? My goal is good information, but these technologies (especially currently) mainly enable bad/mediocre information at scale.

- fnordpiglet 4y agoI’ve been using it for a while and while I get bad information at times it’s generally pretty decent and much easier to get through traditional IR methods, especially now that they’re just advertising and SEO wastelands. I find combining the output of chatgpt with some searches yields a much better and faster result in learning for me. I fully anticipate that we will see similar systems tied to IR and semantic reasoning systems soon - the problems are too obvious but so are the solutions, and it’s not like we don’t have amazing tech in the areas chatgpt fails in that can be adapted to constrain and inform the output.
- actionfromafar 4y agoIt has the sheen of knowledge, but assume these instructions to GPT: "write a glowing review of product X, assuming you are an Y using it in your line of work as Z" the output will look better than printf("Template blah %s with %s and %s is really good, check out our website %s, use coupon code %s"); but it's not necessarily better.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoTrue. But it’s also not necessarily the only use for the tech. But if you’re point is scammers will be scammers, I agree.
