I don't understand the insistence on anthropomorphzing ChatGPT. It didn't "lie", the algorithm just didn't translate the prompt you gave it to the result you desired. Doesn't that happen all the time with google searches also or with regular expression patterns that don't quite turn out to match what you wanted?
ChatGPT, Google's search engine, and a regular expressions algorithms are tools. Assessing them in turns of "trust" seems strange to me. I think it is better to think of them as being useful (or not) for particular types of problems.
- jacobr1 4y agoThis probably can be solved with better tooling. ChatGPT is probably "less confident" when it comes to these kind of false positives and could say so explicitly. What I think is happening with people though, is there is a missing context. With a google search that doesn't return the expected results, you can clearly see it. The results are for unrelated things and you know you need to amend your approach to try something else. When you get linked to some kind of misinformation article ... people do complain and are upset. With ChatGPT you sometimes are missing the feedback to know that further work is required to get the desired outcome.
- gwright 4y agoI don't disagree about context being helpful but I'm not going to get upset at ChatGPT as if a person had "lied" to me by withholding information that clearly would have helped. I have different expectations for a person than for an algorithm.
