Citations! I never trust Bing Chat's answer. The links usually quickly tell you if the answer is hallucinated. Basically: treat it as a search engine, not an answer engine. Follow the links like you would on any other search engine. Those links will still be more relevant.
- robotresearcher 4y agoIt happily made up citations for me. In a follow up, I asked it not too, and to please use only real papers. It apologized, said it would not do it again, then in the same reply made up another non-existent but plausible citation. Checking the links is a good practice. I feel like we just created an interesting novel problem in the world. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
- bastardoperator 4y agoSounds like you should be doing the research yourself but are relying on an untrusted source to feed you answers? I don't think we're there yet...
- robotresearcher 4y agoOn the contrary, I was doing a calibration, asking about something to which I know the answers very well. To see if it was trustworthy.
- brookst 4y agoAre you talking about Bing Chat, which cites actual web pages it used to make the summary, or ChatGPT, which is a very different beast and relies on built-in knowledge rather than searches?
- robotresearcher 4y agoGood call. I was using ChatGPT.
- siquick 4y agoPhind gives you citations and even let’s you ignore certain sources. https://www.phind.com/ https://www.phind.com/
- Kye 4y agoNot any use to me (not a developer), but it's cool there are niche search engines for stuff like this.
