       On formiculture.com one of the other antkeepers asked chat GPT to list all of the species in Tapinoma. A simple task. Of course, chat GPT has made up species of ants that simply do not exist. This is the key mis-match in expectations vs. what the software really does. It's not about "knowing" things, it's about *seeming* like you know things. Can you spot the fakes on the list? (unless you are a HUGE ant nerd of course you can't! The list looks fine.)It's a meaning pareidolia machine.

       It's not really surprising that it does this. That's what it was designed to do. But, there is something so exasperating about examples like this:- Fake footnotes for publications and journals that don't exist-Footnotes that point to real articles that don't contain the information citied-making up fake organizations with histories and events-fake species of animals...It's upsetting since I know I can't run down every footnote for the rest of my life!

       @futurebird It's almost like it was purposefully designed to scale "flood the zone with shit" misinformation campaigns? 🤔
