• Which is absolutely hilarious to me given how often it hallucinates answers.

    I recently tried ChatGPT as a Google alternative. It looked very impressive as it found things based on the slightest of clues. Except that literally everything it found was made up. It “found” a movie quote by Orson Welles that was never quoted. It “found” a song by an artist that said artist never released. It “found” an album by a group released four years before said group’s first release.

    If you’re using ChatGPT as a Google replacement you are being dangerously misinformed by a degenerative “AI” that speaks with the certitude of a techbrodude.

          Or possibly it will help us solve the energy issues. It’s already lead to some revolutionary discoveries in propulsion and many other areas. It really is far more than something to chat with and to think otherwise is just silly. I use it to to code, brainstorm and developer with. Al systems can process massive amounts of data, recognizing patterns and improving their performance over time. This has helped things like the medical field immensely. Especially with early detection of cancers etc. Trying to be a luddites won’t stop it. Might as well embrace and extend it for the betterment of all.

      for generating filler text and in general making things more formal it can do a good job, yes you do need to review it’s output, but that beats needing to write the whole thing in a less hostile tone.
