How do you know a human tutor is not confidently incorrect?
I know it sounds like a glib answer, but in reality the answer to both questions is you don't know for certain in either case. Honestly I would say both are incorrect for at least some portion of their responses, but you seem to be insinuating that humans are closer to 0% while the LLM's percent is higher. In my estimation the LLM is probably less often incorrect but that's just my opinion. I am sure a more rigorous study could be conducted though.
- madsbuch 3y agoThis is also my own experience. In particular, ChatGPT has deeper knowledge on complex grammatical structures (like the 7 cases polish have) than I can expect from a regular tutor – my friend was not able to explain complex consonant clusters, while ChatGPT happily babbles out resources and explains just what I need for a particular case.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoIt's true that you can't know with a human tutor either. But ChatGPT is known to be confidently incorrect. If a human tutor had earned a similar reputation, one would be wise to distrust him as well.
