<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 9488242, member: 13430"]Bing's AI is related to ChatGPT. I've spent some time probing ChatGPT. I was a software developer for several decades, working in other aspects of AI, so the topic interests me. The problem I found, which you discovered as well, is that sometimes it fabricates "facts", and does it in a way that sounds very authoritative. This means that it can't be trusted. I think this truthfulness problem is related to the quantity of material it ingested about the topic during its training. For example, if I ask for 5 works of a well known sculptor on public display, it will give 5 correct examples. If I ask the same question for a lessor known sculptor, it will give a list of works, but if you look them up, they will be by a variety of sculptors, but not the one you asked about in your question. This is despite the fact that there are works by that sculptor it could have answered correctly with. If you then point out its mistake, and ask for works actually by that sculptor, it apologizes, and then returns a new list of works that also are not by the sculptor you asked about.</p><p>There was a news story recently about a lawyer that used ChatGPT to write a brief. It turned out that the cases it cited, although sounding very real, simply didn't exist. They were fabricated by the AI. I think this is in the nature of this sort of AI. It isn't really dealing in facts. It is dealing more in the patterns of language. It's more important that its responses look like appropriate responses, but the truthfulness of the details of its response are not guaranteed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
