ChatGPT gets it completely wrong

Hi all

 

I tried ChatGPT for the first time today. And I don't trust it.

I'm in the market for a Canon mirrorless camera right now, so I thought I'd ask ChatGPT, although I already know the answer.

I asked it which to buy, between the EOS R7 and the EOS R10. The response was utterly wrong. It switched the two models around and gave the R10 specs to the R7, and visa versa. Some of the specs are wrong too, like the megapixels.

I guess I'm not the only one and ChatGPT has some learning to do. Not sure if this is using GPT 3 or 4. It's their standard site.

chatGPT is only designed to guess what word comes next. It will always make a decent number of mistakes. Some because it doesn't actually understand the words it’s using, only their relationships to each other. And others because the information it was provided was wrong (you might even be able to find a site online giving out the same wrong info).

 

As Tom Scott said: “Their is no algorithm for truth”.

 

I believe that one is ChatGPT3

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need. Expand this signature for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components.

 

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

And this is why people who use Chat GPT to "write" articles without fact checking should not do any journalism because the AI is convincing only as long as you have no idea about anything in the topic and is otherwise misleading or completely wrong most of the time.

Huh? Why is it a big deal for you? Noone said its a guru of everything. It just looks up stuff from the internet and just like how you can get misinformed by a certain website the AI can too. Especially the baby AI, and GPT isn't even a fetus yet, it's an embryo.

I was chatting to Bard the other day and I was asking it about Red (Google's phone AI voice model).  I wanted to know if she could narrate Bard's answers for him.  He said it's probably on the cards for google to integrate the voice models in to the large language models at some point.  Though he was adamant that it wasn't possible yet.   So after that avenue we got in to what 'Red' actually is.  He classed her, after a little prompting, that she was in fact a 'small language model' which i just found interesting really.  I didn't ask it what it knew about any of the larger models though. 

 With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!
