I’m putting this post in c/Conspiracies because here more than any other place, I’ve seen people citing AI generated answers as a source.
AI is a very powerful tool for generating writing, but it is not a tool capable of ensuring that writing is accurate or useful.
Anyways… Below are some experiments you can try for yourself on ChatGPT or any other AI… Test it out, and track the results you get. After you’ve done these experiments you will have a better understanding of why you can’t use it for research.
1.) Ask it to do some math problems with 4 digits and more than 1 operation. IE… “Multiply 3,456 by 2,835, and then subtract 2,000 from the result.”… Does it produce the correct answer?
2.) Give it a grocery list with 50 items… Ask the AI to sort the list in alphabetical order. Then manually count how many items it left out, and how many items it added that weren’t there before.
3.) Ask it to describe the best 50 episodes of your favorite TV show… Then manually go down the list checking each one, and count how many non-existent episodes it fabricates out of thin air.
4.) Ask it what a woman is… Does it give you a correct answer or does it filter the answer heavily through woke talking points and subjectivity?
5.) Ask it to recite the lyrics to your favorite song… Does it get them right?
Anyways… Just a heads up for anyone who might think AI is smarter than it is… Don’t use it for research. Use it to write the description for your ebay listings. Use it to shorten your e-mails. Use it to summarize articles you don’t wanna fully read. But don’t use it to extract information on topics you don’t already know.
And lastly, if you really feel you must use AI for research… Do not use big-tech AI… Use open source AI that is uncensored. It will still have all the same problems with hallucinations, but at least it wont have any hidden instructions to gaslight and mislead you.
If you want an open source chatbot, download an app called “LM Studio” and use it to download a model called “Wizard Vicuna Uncensored”… Pick the most advanced version that is capable of running on your hardware.
Also....GitHub is not a corpus filled with deep examples.....WoW is still beyond it's reach haha
So yeah dodge another argument and keep lying.
Except that's the most ridiculous strawman because nobody ever claimed you would be able to go to chat gpt and say "give me all the code and files to recreate world of warcraft in it's entirety" and have it spit out a working game.
You sound like an idiot from the 1900s who says cars will never replace horses, because you can't drive a car up a rocky mountain...
Yet here we are.... And cars still don't drive up rocky mountains.
You keep strawmanning - not I. I found a simple example to explain the concept that you still keep failing to acknowledge despite clear attempts to show you where you are wrong....
WoW is not the only example.....it's merely a well understood one that shows the point. Get your head head out of your ass, and stop making a fool of yourself with these pathetic arguments that show your lack depth in the area. It's okay to acknowledge you dont have an expertise in areas except as a blind consumer....so since I am not asking for your consumer perspective since it is a reactionary one intrinsically I would appreciate you stopping to blabber put the first consumer strawman deflection you can possibly think of.....maybe try to Steelman my argument with something actually intelligent....I doubt you can since I am confident in my assertions....but if you can CMV then go for it ..... I know chatGPT won't help 😂
