GPT-3.5 is significantly worse with facts than GPT-4, by the way. GPT-3.5 hallucinates a lot, GPT-4, notably, is accurate enough to pass many common exams.
Here’s what 4 says about your query:
"Wisconsin is a state in the western Midwestern United States." - {false}
"Wisconsin is the 20th-largest state by total area and the 25th-most populous." - {unknown}
"It is bordered by Minnesota to the north, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Michigan to the northeast, and Lake Superior to the north." - {true}
"The bulk of Wisconsin's population live in areas situated along the shores of Lake Superior." - {false}
"The largest city, Madison, anchors its largest metropolitan area, followed by Green Bay and Kenosha, the third- and fourth-most-populated Wisconsin cities, respectively." - {false}
"The state capital, Madison, is currently the second-most-populated and fastest-growing city in the state." - {unknown}
"Wisconsin is divided into 71 counties and as of the 2020 census had a population of nearly 2.9 million." - {false}
Explanation:
1. Wisconsin is a state in the northern part of the Central United States (not western).
2. As of 2021, Wisconsin was the 23rd largest state by total area and the 20th most populous, but this may have changed by 2023.
3. The borders of Wisconsin are correctly described.
4. The bulk of Wisconsin's population is not along the shores of Lake Superior, but is more densely populated in the southeastern part of the state.
5. Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin, not Madison. Madison is the second largest, followed by Green Bay.
6. Madison may be the second-most-populated and fastest-growing city in Wisconsin, but this requires updated data beyond 2021 to confirm.
7. Wisconsin is divided into 72 counties, not 71. As of the 2020 census, Wisconsin had a population of over 5.8 million, not 2.9 million.
- UncleMeat 3y agoWisconsin is best described as in the Midwest, not “northern central US”.
- Suppafly 3y agoI suspect the issue is that it said "western Midwestern" which is meaningless. Had the prompt just said Midwestern, it may have found it to be true.
- kgwgk 3y agohttps://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States#/media/File:Midwestern_United_States_subdivisions.svg https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States#/... "Divisions of the Midwest by the U.S. Census Bureau into East North Central and West North Central, separated largely by the Mississippi River." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_United_States#/media/File:US_Census_Central_Divisions.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_United_States#/media/F... “Census Bureau Divisions with "Central" in their name include the West North Central and East North Central in the Midwest. Along with the West South Central and East South Central in the South.” Midwest may be more usual but North Central is not unheard of. (That said, one can perfectly understand “western Midwestern US States” as the western part of the region called Midwest and be fine with it.)
