@academicchatter @academicsunite using #chatgp3 as an assistant helps reduce the time it takes engineer a code solution. It's really does cut hours of your time. However .... Using it as a research assistant, in terms of searching, it's actually pretty limited. I tried searching for papers by topic, I did five separate tests, returning 25 papers and links. Validation of the links returned a 404. But, searching the individual papers themselves, not one of the 25 papers was actually real.

WHY CAN’T CHATGPT COUNT?

April 1st, 2023 If you use ChatGPT enough, you soon may realize it’s really bad at counting. And not only counting, but math in general.Thanks for reading Dr. Sergio Castro's Newsletter! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. To understand its counting capabilities, I ran an experiment. I created a Python script that generates strings of random words, starting with one word, then 2, then 3, etc., and asked, via de API, GTP 3.5 to count how many words there are. Here’s a screenshot of the output. The first number after each string is the actual number of words; the second number is GPT’s count, and the third number is the difference between the two. (These tests where run using GPT 3.5, on March 13th, 2023)

Excelente post by @garymarcus & Ernest Davis regarding the failures of large models, ChatGPT. The core point is this can’t be addressed by design (dissolve the issue) , patching forever is like the mouse spinning the wheel… #chatgp3 #ai
Here is a very nice blog post by Damien Farrell (I couldn't find him on the fediverse). It's about the capabilities and limitations of #chatgp3 for #bioinformatics.

Very nice indeed!

Happy 2023 everyone! This is the first issue of Sensemaking, AI, and Learning (SAIL) for 2023. As noted in several emails last year, 2022 was all about...

This #chatgp3 be building a portfolio HTMl webpage 😕
Mind blowing 😳
Seeing people trust #ChatGP3 to generate meal plans for them is genuinely worrying. It is not equipped to accurately give you health info. It isn't even equipped to accurately count objects in a list (I tried it out earlier this week). It is a neat tool for generating text that sounds convincing. That has lots of fun applications, but please don't trust it with your health.
