    I think the issue with this particular tool is it can authoritatively provide incorrect, entirely fabricated information or a gross misinterpretation of factual information.

    In any field I’ve worked in, I’ve often had to refer to reference material as I simply can’t remember everything. I have to use my experience and critical thinking skills to determine if I’m utilizing the correct material. I have not had to further determine if my reference material has simply made up a convincing, “correct sounding” answer. Yes, there are errors and corrections to material over time, but never has the entire reference been suspect, yet it continued to be used.

      i maintain that AI companies could improve their stuff a huge amount by simply forcing it to prefix “I think” to all statements. It’s sorta like how calculators shouldn’t show more data than it can confidently produce, if the precision is only 4 decimals then don’t show 8.
