By now you know that #ChatGPT will make up nonsense, presented with confidence.

Useful framework by AI and Data Policy lawyer:

@jvt many thanks for sharing this! very professionally phrased, and very useful. my more casual way of explaining the same - I believe - direction of thought: please treat ChatGPT like a random guy you're meeting at a party: everything it says might be brilliant, true, or complete bullshit that sounds confident. if you aren't able to judge this on your own, treat it like you would that random guy at the party, including deciding whether to continue listening or not.

@viktoriaPammerSchindler love that analogy!

It helps to understand that #chatgpt works by sampling from a distribution of words most likely to appear next in a given context.

That means it’s great for ideation, less so for factual precision.
