Johann van TonderBy now you know that #ChatGPT will make up nonsense, presented with confidence.
Useful framework by AI and Data Policy lawyer:
Isocat now → @@jvt @toolbear Yup. I had a go with ChatGTP, asking for 1,000 words about a topic I know well. Result: authoritatively-toned garburated nonsense. Each time I objected, it apologised and issued a fresh batch of same, often just plain contradictory to previous batch; at the third or fourth iteration it said ~it's unbiased and unemotional, so the problem was on my end.
Yet L. Ron Musk tells fairytales about the likes of full (fool) self-driving, and his minions eat it up and amplify it. Arrrrgh…
@Isocat @toolbear it’s not a database of facts, it doesn’t have any knowledge whatsoever nor does it even understand its own output.
It’s an algorithm that selects the next best word in context, based on learned patterns in training data.
That makes it an excellent choice for ideation and a bad choice for facts.
