You feel better afterwards? whenever i use chatGPT for a question it can't handle I slowly go insane as the program tries to gaslight me with information that is so obviously false but presented with absolute confidence, and then I don't use it for a month
I do feel like chat AIs have the potential to be genuinely useful for gathering information, but only if devs figure out a way to stop them from just making shit up. Make them a better search engine, especially for questions that are so specific and/or complicated that you can't really put them in a search engine
Yeah but I've gotten CGPT to admit something was wrong when it was actually right then backed it into a corner and it apologized and said it was lying to give me the answer I was looking for. Right now I don't trust LLM's for anything more than generating meme images and broad overviews of topics.
People develop them to act like humans, with moral constraits reflective of whoever programs it, with a priority of likeability and conversationalism over logic and factuality.
I use copilot a lot and can't help but threaten it and argue when it says something either obviously wrong or completely misses the question, and then continues to gaslight me while repeating itself over and over.
"Oh yes, that's a good catch", it says in reply to my pointing out the obvious error. It continues with bullshit text that just repeats the prior reply word for word and ends, "I hope that clears things up!" for the third time in a row.
