And now we start relying on machine hallucinations for people's health. I don't see any way this could go wrong.
- passion__desire 4y agotrust but verify as we do in real life.
- dsr_ 4y agoWhen a technology repeatedly fails to be trustworthy, stop trusting at all.
- ElectricalUnion 4y agoWhen humans repeatedly fails to be trustworthy, stop trusting at all.
- dsr_ 4y agoWell, yes. That's a major reason for why we stop being friends, or change jobs, or fire employees, or find someone else to vote for.
- passion__desire 4y agoLet me give you an example of what I meant by the parent. I asked ChatGPT, if there is any research area where Clifford Algebras and Expander graphs are related in any manner. It mentioned something about error-correcting codes. I verified it and sure enough there was a mathoveflow post about it.

- lm28469 4y agoWhen we'll all be in "almost fully autonomous" cars and have to "trust but verify" it'll be really fun. You'll be at the wheel 0.1% of the time, lose most of your skills because you'll almost never need the, and only have to be in charge in the worst edge cases. Now apply that to other topics...
- r0ze-at-hn 4y agoAsk it “is” questions and not “how“ questions help immensely. For example: “Is C17orf69 related to cholesterol” Vs “How is C17orf69 related to cholesterol” How questions by their nature can be lies. Been using chatgpt daily for medical questions but then I verify _everything_ it says via sources. It feels like 1998 Google in a way. A dozen questions can save me tons of time. “My drunk college friend” who knows a lot but likes to boast that they know everything. Great for brainstorming, not great for fact checking. I would absolutely love to try this model.
- WaitWaitWha 4y agoGood tip. I have been playing with ChatGPT, and learned to append "...with list of external references" at the end of all my questions I want real answers to.
- fabioborellini 4y agoIt makes up references, too.
- WaitWaitWha 4y agoWait, wait, what? I have not ran into this, but maybe the questions & topics I am asking . . . Excellent! Now I have a way to identify ChatGPT research papers!
- mattkrause 4y agoLast weekend, I was stuck on a data analysis problem: how to do dimensionality reduction with lots of censored data. There are a few ideas in the literature, but not many, so in a fit of desperation, I asked ChatGTP. After a few false starts, it told me about an algorithm called CenPCA that did exactly what I wanted. It cited a paper; it told me about the author. It even recommended Python and R implementations and showed how to use them. The only catch? None of this exists! I couldn’t find the paper, couldn’t find the guy who allegedly wrote it, and couldn’t find the software (neither could pip or conda). When I asked for more details about the algorithm, it gave me something else meant for handling missing data instead. On reflection, this is exactly what should have happened. I would have been thrilled to find something like that on StackOverflow or somebody’s blog, so it’s a great continuation of the prompt. It’s just not real!
