What if you didn't know enough to know the first answer was wrong? Because a lot of people are going to ask a lot of questions where that will be the case. They won't know to tweak their question and then do further research. And if you try to use GPT for automatic systems, well how is that automatic system going to recognize what's wrong vs right?
- capableweb 3y agoNot knowing what you don't know, is really hard to verify. But if you get any sort of answer, it's usually pretty trivial to verify. Where I found ChatGPT to be really helpful is when I don't know anything regarding something, and ChatGPT can give me something I could at least verify as true or false. Compared to before, where I just got stuck on some things, as I couldn't find out what I was actually looking for at all.
- ben_w 3y agoP vs. NP, answers are often easier to verify than to reach in the first place. That said, there are many people who don't bother to verify anything, as can be observed in comments sections where one can in many cases find people who clearly only read the headline and not the article.

- petemir 3y agoAre we sure? (Some) People are still going to vote for Donald Trump in 2024, one of the "bullshit generators" (such as chatGPT) used as example in the article. (n.b. I am not trying to make any type of political judgement here, I am just using the example in TFA).
- wrsh07 3y agoMy hottest take (use lots of salt) is that I would rather have you listening uncritically to ChatGPT than to a lot of crap on the internet. If I ask ChatGPT "why is fluoride bad?" it doesn't give me hours of conspiracy theory content^. It doesn't try to sell me water. Google is not so aligned towards neutral. (Of course, people have been busy sabotaging the Google dataset for over a decade) ^ although I did ask it "what do I do about a ghost that lives in my house" and got this: > Dealing with a ghost can be unsettling. You could consider consulting a paranormal expert or a spiritual advisor for guidance on how to address the presence of a ghost in your house.
- airstrike 3y agoWas the ghost question directed at 3.5 or 4?
- wrsh07 3y ago3.5 - I intentionally didn't want to use the exclusive one since eg my dad is using free gpt
- latexr 3y agoI have access to 4 and just asked it the ghost question with that exact phrasing. The answer was even worse. It gave several options: * Ignoring it. Not because ghosts aren’t real, but because “some people choose to cohabit and not engage unless it becomes intrusive”. * Politely ask the ghost to stop disturbing you. * Purify your home by burning herbs. * Hire a medium or psychic. * Get a spiritual leader “from your respective religion” to bless your home. * Seek help from paranormal investigators.
- airstrike 3y agoYou know what? Those are all perfectly appropriate actions to take if you start from the assumption that there is, indeed, a ghost in your house
- empath-nirvana 3y agoI use chatgpt in this way a lot and i just have gotten in the habit of verifying what it says with other sources.
