Completely agree. I've been frequently using ChatGPT to learn new things in my free time. I realize that there's a huge amount of downplay regarding the accuracy of responses, but unless you're asking specifically for verified references or quotes, it does remarkably well in smoothly guiding you towards new keywords/concepts/ideas. Treat it like a map, rather than a full-self-driving tesla, and it's tremendously useful for learning.
- groestl 4y agoTrue in some regard, but for me, it also just invented words / phrases that nobody else uses. So "treat with caution" is definitely appropriate.
- nonethewiser 4y agoThat’s true but I think he’s suggesting it generates ideas which you can then research. You would know that it was hallucinating when you go to research a topic and find nothing. So using it as a discovery tool basically.
- nick47801676 4y agoHeavy caution... I tried this with GPT3 on a topic I know well (electric motors) and beyond what you might find in the first page of a search engine it went to hallucination station pretty quickly.
- pmoriarty 4y ago"it does remarkably well in smoothly guiding you towards new keywords/concepts/ideas" Are you more effective at finding such new keywords/concepts/ideas with ChatGPT's help than without, or is it just that style of learning or its novelty that you prefer?
- eep_social 4y ago> a full-self-driving tesla Sorry for the derail, but this does not exist and yet this is the second time today I’ve seen it used as a benchmark for what is possible. Would you care to say more?
- Hasnep 4y agoSeems like a pretty apt analogy. People want to use LLMs like a fully self-driving Tesla, but the "self-driving Tesla" version of LLMs doesn't exist either.
- eep_social 4y agotouché, though I doubt the gp meant it that way
