Ugh -- agreed to speak to a journalist about whether people (actually women in particular, because it's a women's magazine type publication) should use chatbots for health information. I said in no uncertain terms that they should not, but they found someone else to quote too saying it could be beneficial blah blah blah. And then the article ends with a quote from me saying "Don't do this" followed by a "quote" from ChatGPT --- i.e. more synthetic text published as news. Grr.
@emilymbender
Out of curiosity, does this also apply to non-ChatGPT applications, like #gpt4all?
@paninid
DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC MACHINES IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION. Period.
@emilymbender @paninid It’s mind boggling that no one has thought to talk to professional translators about this. Every shitty, incomprehensible, incorrect translation that you’ve seen in the last 10 years is machine translation, which is just another kind of LLM.
