I've been using Bing AI instead of Google for a few days to test it out. It gives responses with citations. A few times already it has hallucinated details that aren't on the cited website at all, but that do sound very plausible (for example something about the horns of a bull pointing up when I asked about the etymology of "bullish".)
I think it comes down to the fact that most stuff is actually like 90% bullshit so when you train a model on a corpus of everything you end up with a decent bullshit generator. Which is fine for many purposes but I'm not sure it will take over search.
- penjelly 4y agoi agree citations dont always support bings conclusion, thats been my exp as well
- Joeri 4y agoIt is telling that ChatGPT by training on online discussions hasn’t learned to say “I don’t know”.
- worldsayshi 4y agoI guess the "I don't know"'s are usually silent.
- theRealMe 4y agoLmao. Now I’m imagining any questions posted anywhere like Ask Hacker News, Ask Reddit, or Quora being filled with everyone that doesn’t know the answer replying “I don’t know.”
- harvey9 4y agoProduct q&a on Amazon has this. It is because Amazon emails you other people's questions about products you have previously purchased, and many users don't realize there is no need to reply just to be polite.
- tracker1 4y agoI wish that Amazon would put a note suggesting the if you don't know, don't answer the question... I know they send emails to people that bought something when questions come up... but for the sake of sanity, why do people actually input an "I don't know" answer?
- ChatGTP 4y agoI've said this already today on another comment, but the manual from OpenAI themselves pretty much says the thing is not to be trusted for pretty much anything.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoSame for Bing chat.
- ollien 4y agoI've had it struggle to give me citations at all sometimes. Once I even had it give me a citation to a C# webpage for an Elixir question
