Think of it like a combination of a Google search (i.e., a search of a big database) and predictive text. It predicts what arrangement of words is most likely to go together. It was specifically trained to respond to questions in a conversational way, so that it sounds like a person talking to you instead of a search result.

It does not "know" anything, it only predicts what words probably go together. Because it's only predicting, errors (hallucinations) are necessarily part of the package. But, because it delivers its answers in the format of confident conversational speech, people often are fooled. That is why you are seeing court briefs cite case names that don't exist but just "look like" the names of cases that could exist. You are also seeing a lot of real people quoted in news articles as saying things they never said - those are AI-generated quotes.

In addition to sometimes being confidently wrong, it uses a huge amount of electricity and water to generate an answer, it was trained on copyrighted work without the authors' permission, and the information you put into it is not private. [/quote]
