Hey y'all, i know you know this, but while you definitely shouldn't use GPTs for legal research, also don't rely on GPTs for RESEARCH, PERIOD.

They are neither giving nor TRYING to give you intersubjectively associated and derived facts; they are not even remixing factual CONCEPTS into new forms.

They are modelling human biases out into digestible bullshit with a statistically-determined high probability of being swallowed.

That is all.

They don't have to be this way, but, at present, the people making them have no incentive to change them. So. Don't lean on them for fact stuff. It's not what they do.

@Wolven so much this. There is so much potential to LLMs as tools for all sorts of things, and even more for machine learning in a broader sense... But geez, right now, using gpt to supercharge your research just isn't one of them, not by a long shot.

@b4ux1t3 nope, and until some fundamental thigs change inside them and the companies which develop them, it's just going to get worse
