This is silly, IMO.
Google does the same thing sometimes, when it presents just the text result first (usually from forums). It's been downright incorrect sometimes but using the context and clicking the link, you can find an answer.
- tgv 4y agoIn Google's case, they "just" present the information as a search result. ChatGPT presents it as its own statement.
- robswc 4y agoChatGPT presents it with this statement 20px from the response. >ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts Google presents nothing of the sort. Not saying this is wrong tho. https://searchengineland.com/wp-content/seloads/2017/03/C6HX0JPUoAArXmn.jpg https://searchengineland.com/wp-content/seloads/2017/03/C6HX... There's been countless times I'm googling something I know about and the snippet is totally incorrect.

- iso1631 4y agoGoogle says "this site claims Joe Bloggs is a depraved lunatic" ChatGPT says "Joe Bloggs is a depraved lunatic"
- robswc 4y ago>Google says "this site claims Joe Bloggs is a depraved lunatic" Google says nothing of the sort. It just presents the snippet as if it were "fact" or rather, "as is." >ChatGPT says "Joe Bloggs is a depraved lunatic" There is literally a block of text that says "ChatGPT Mar 23 Version. Free Research Preview. ChatGPT may produce inaccurate information about people, places, or facts" right under the response. It objectively gives more warning about "bad information" more than google does for snippets.
- tgv 4y agoNo, it presents the snippet as "that's what page http://etc http://etc says". That's why they can get away with avoiding any kind of responsibility. They're not (considered) a publisher.
- robswc 4y ago>No, it presents the snippet as "that's what page http://etc http://etc says". Most tech savy people could certainly infer that... but try it for yourself. It doesn't say anywhere on the page, anything like "Google says "this site claims Joe Bloggs is a depraved lunatic"". It just has a link to the page that the text comes from. The result even tends to just blend in with the rest of the results too. https://external-preview.redd.it/hqLyrdGiwnxXNk-60nQy3Ubw4qaf0cMrDU1Gb_1Say0.jpg?width=463&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=4d5fcc0329af26be4e87cf3d9d4726cefd1c07fa https://external-preview.redd.it/hqLyrdGiwnxXNk-60nQy3Ubw4qa... In the context of this thread, I can't imagine how the above screenshot is better than a disclaimer right under the text-box that explicitly states it can generate false information.
- bonzini 4y ago"Inaccurate" means "the mayor is correctly identified as a whistleblower but the bank is incorrectly identified" or "if asked to correct a true statement ChatGPT may go off the weeds". Not "today I am elected mayor, tomorrow 1000 people in my town ask ChatGPT about me and they're told that I am a convicted felon". The former is a nuisance, the latter is reckless and dangerous. Replace "inaccurate" with "completely wrong" and then we can talk about disclaimers.

- UncleMeat 4y agoOne boxes with incorrect information has been a source of controversy since they were introduced. And that's even when it has a link to the source of the information.
