I know because I check often with what I already know, or official material/explanations written by humans. Gpt helps me connect dots and uncover useful detail

I know because I check often with what I already know, or official material/explanations written by humans.
Gpt helps me connect dots and uncover useful details I didn't previously have, and that official explanations didn't include. And just about every time I've double-checked, it's right, even when it didn't make sense to me (counter-intuitive/non-obvious due to my mistakes in reading comprehension or previously erroneous concepts in my mind).
- godelski 3y agoOkay, with this added nuance I'm not worried. But I think we should be explicit about this because it is difficult to distinguish if people are doing this or not and it is quite reasonable to believe that they are not. I have no issues with anyone using GPT as a __noisy__ tutor. But we just must be clear it is easy to get fooled, difficult to validate, and easy to cause GPT to change its answer. There's a high rate of people using it as a non-noisy tutor, so we can't be implicit. FWIW, I use GPT in a very similar way, and frequently. Especially with the decline of Google and especially for high level topics. It functions very well as a fuzzy search and often even when wrong (which is frequent for me when asking high level math questions, think post PDEs) there's still words or phrases that help me significantly narrow down a Google search. Which any Google Search engineer should not be reading this as "replace Google Search with GPT/Bard"!!!!! They work in tandem!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH and do not want to see the hell that that creates.
