Bing's "AI" demo also contained a ton of factual errors: https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/109859342792302510

GPT doesn't know anything, it just generates really convincing-looking text. Everybody needs to calm down about it being the future of search.

@seldo I think the best thing I’ve seen it do so far is give me a template for a formal email

@seldo people need to wrap their head around the fact that GPT models are telling you what they think would be most likely response to your question, not actually going out and finding the answer.

@seldo I don't expect regular search to always return reliable information either.To me it's already more useful for many queries. If I need a reminder what was that Docker flag again, ChatGPT already better than Google or StackOverflow.

@seldo it's like a super confident, prejudiced, set in their ways, aunt on facebook.they can tell you convincing bullshitthey're at that level of intelligence, which is the bottom 1/3 of facebook posts - brain fully off, no critical thinking, just responding to prompts.

@seldo I asked it to write an academic paper about the origins of one of the musical instruments I play. Not only was it massively factually incorrect, but the paper itself was riddled with internal contradictions

@jefflembeck @seldo it was able to solve an incident at work for me. I plugged in two lines of the stack trace and gave it the symptoms. It gave the obvious things that we already looked at and then it asked us about a parameter that wasn’t set. If this parameter wasn’t set, then our symptoms occurred. Sure enough, a missing config fixed our issue.

@adrianacala @jefflembeck Isn't that just what you'd get from reading posts on a search engine though?

@seldo @jefflembeck yes if you know exactly what to look for and there was enough noise to push this down in the search results. We all looked. Once it gave the idea of the missing config, I was absolutely able to google it and match what Chat GPT said.
