Can anyone explain how this works?
- I ask ChatGPT a question
- It gives me an incorrect answer
- I literally say "you're wrong"
- It corrects itself
Why didn't it give me the right answer the first time? How was it able to get the answer right the second time?
- amelius 3y agoSimply put, it was giving random answers, until you stopped asking. (Of course it's more complicated but that's basically it).

- Karellen 3y agoHeh. Kind of like Clever Hans. It keeps tapping its foot until you relax. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans
- justrealist 3y agoThis is so wrong it actively hurts.
- empath-nirvana 3y agoIt is many times better than you'd expect from random answers.
- roflyear 3y agoYou missed the point.
- mucle6 3y agoI can write code, and if I'm told my code doesn't work, I can fix it.
- glandium 3y agoAsk it, it will explain what's going on (I'm not kidding)
- skepticATX 3y agoThe funny thing is you can do this exact thing when it gives you the right answer, and it will often happily switch to an incorrect answer. This is one of the most damning things about LLMs to me - and it doesn't seem to have gotten much better with GPT-4
- marcinzm 3y agoLet's say someone asks you a question and you come up with two potential answers. You respond with the one that you think is more likely to be correct. They say you're wrong. You give them the second answer which you thought was less likely to be correct but apparently is more likely.
