Are you using Chat-GPT ALL THE TIME?

Yes exactly.

Literally never use it. It's SO bad for the environment.

NP. Getting facts flat wrong is not reflective of the user. You ask it a straightforward legal question, for example, and it often gets it completely wrong. That's not user error.

Not really accurate

It is 100% accurate.

No it isn’t and you’re clearly a low information person

FFS. There are massive issues with regard to energy usage and with regard to all of the intellectual property theft that has occurred to train LLMs. This is in the news constantly. Not sure how you could be this ignorant. But that is DCUM ... extreme ignorance + aggression. Do you think that if you are offensive and aggressive enough it will be ok that you are wrong? Hmmm, where are you getting that tactic from, lol?

I asked Gemini. The reply:

Given the "DCUM" reference and the AI topic, they are likely accusing the person of getting their tactics from Elon Musk or Donald Trump

This is true, especially about topics that have a lot wrong answers published. But if you put on your critical thinking hat and ask for references and clarification, you get through to ground truth.

Also, legal questions are rarely straightforward, and often gave answers varying by jurisdiction.

If I’m doing research on something I’ll use my good old Google finger. I can find accurate answers fairly quickly. I have used several types of AI but I take their results with a giant block of salt. I just don’t trust it. Maybe I will later but not now.

One example of AI being wrong:

A friend of mine is an author. They use a pen name when writing books. They’ve gone further and used AI to create an online presence of one of their made up pen names. They made a picture, a web page and a backstory…all using AI. When I ask AI if the pen name is a real person, AI responds “yes, this is a real person”. 🤪

Humans hallucinate a lot too.

Post your question. Come on

I used it once for work, it got the answer wrong, and it made me feel better that my job won't become obsolete.

Well, yes. Because you’re trying to trick the model and not asking a better prompt

I have yet to find a need for it.

I don’t think you understand how AI works.

How do you know that? Did he apply to all the colleges ChatGPT recommended as well as all the colleges the counselor recommended and got into more of the ones from ChatGPT?

I asked “Is ‘Joey Penname’ a real person”. I wasn’t trying to trick it.

What would be a better question?

“Can you independently verify that this is a real person, not a fictional or AI-generated persona?
