Oh boy can't wait for this to replace Google Search!

  As if the made-up article does not show up in Google search results?

    At least Google gives you a second opinion. 3rd, 4th and nth opinions too.
    • waboremo 4y ago
      Only if you actively keep looking for it. You can actively keep prodding chatGPT for more or counter opinions too. So this is a good lesson in how important defaults are, most are not going to keep looking.

        Not really, you get a bunch of links right there. Also you can't "prod" ChatGPT for the truth it'll just generate plausible sounding nonsense again because that's just how it works.

          Have you used chatGPT? At least bing's version? It adds links right there too. So when you prod it, you're not doing so "for the truth" (you also don't prod "for the truth" in general...), you're getting it to generate more information and potentially relevant sources. I just did it. I asked for an argument about x, then prompted for counter opinions about the same subject - both times different links were added. In the end, it's up to you to validate sources provided.

        You have zero context in ChatGPT though. Like even if you don’t know or have an opinion about a specific website you’ll eventually form one if you keep accessing it. This is a huge downside of GPT. Until it starts citing it’s exact sources it can’t be a reliable tool in most cases.

    There is no article published on the washington post. ChatGPT fully hallucinated this
    • jprete 4y ago
      My first read of your comment was really confusing, because the article posted reporting on the invented scandal is _also_ a Washington Post article....
  • flangola7 4y ago
    The article doesn't even exist. Even if it did, Google has whole teams dedicated to filtering bad web content out of search results.

    It doesn't create novel false information.
    • lostlogin 4y ago
      Now I’m getting confused. Are you saying it only makes derivative fake news? Rephrasing exisiting made up stories?
      • TheNewsIsHere 4y ago
        We call these Derivative Alternative Facts.

          I think we need to be more clear than clever about this. ChatGPT seems to have made up a false claim on sexual harassment, it had no known antecedent articles discussing this, it wasn't like say Harvey Weinstein for whom there were lots of people saying he'd abused them before the court conviction. This person who was accused by chatgpt didn't have an undercurrent of claims. Right?

    Two key differences: * Google doesn't create these made-up articles. * Google actively combats these low-quality sources.
    • beezlewax 4y ago
      It doesn't combat this at all. The Internet is stuffed with keyword filled nonsense articles with long meandering intros due to their search algorithms flaws. Low quality is the standard
      • hutzlibu 4y ago
        No one said, they are succesful or effective with it. Otherwise you couldn't find anything legit with google and you still can, even though quality dropped indeed a lot.

        You have a lot of confidence in Bard. /s (partially?)
