> Try using ChatGPT on a topic you know really well. And read what it says carefully. On many occasions I've seen it say something in a subject I know well and it's started correct so I've mentally autocompleted and assumed it had the whole thing right. Eg. This for "What is Gell-Mann amnesia?" - contrast to the actual meaning. [1] > Gell-Mann amnesia is a term coined by science writer Michael Crichton to describe the phenomenon where people tend to forget information that contradicts their preconceptions or beliefs. The term is named after physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who won the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the theory of elementary particles. > According to Crichton, Gell-Mann amnesia occurs when people encounter information that contradicts their beliefs, but rather than updating their beliefs to reflect the new information, they simply forget the information and continue to hold onto their preconceptions. This type of cognitive bias can be a significant barrier to learning and can lead to flawed decision-making. Learning from ChatGPT as if it's similar to "books, blogs, courses, etc" really doesn't seem like a good idea.
