>I don't think its going to be drop-in replacement. I agree, but part of the reason for that is that it doesn't get the facts right (yet?). A chat bot that can be trusted would be far more useful and could largely replace the traditional search interface. I tried ChatGPT (and some other transformer models). I know you can ask follow up questions and make it reconsider its responses or change its mind. But why does it change its mind? It's not because it finds a flaw in its own logic or discovers new information. I think it's simply because the pattern of inquisitorial questioning is statistically associated with the pattern of mind changing. And then it just follows your lead in a new direction making claims that are just as unreliable as the original ones. I'm keeping an open mind though. I don't think I have understood everything there is to understand about this.
