I just asked ChatGPT, "What is an Outlook OST file?" and it told me.
Wow, I'm happy for you.
You realize though that the kinds of questions academic research tries to answer are a bit more nuanced than that, right? And not only that -- almost by definition -- when doing this kind of research, you don't just want to copy-pasta whatever turns up on the top of any automated search you do (whether it be through a search engine, or a chatbot).
Right?
- cbozeman 4y agoI think it's you that may not be realizing some things. There are a lot of bullshit degrees and bullshit fields that ChatGPT is going to destroy. And it cannot happen soon enough. For the actual rigorous fields that require some work and effort, ChatGPT wasn't designed to replace those researchers. It wasn't designed to make sense of the data that that kind of academic research produces. It's designed to help you take the bullshit work out of the sense you've already made out of this research. It's an assistant. That's all it is... right now. It will eventually, and probably sooner than later, be much, much more.
