“Mum, ChatGPT is gaslighting you!” That was the response from my young associates when I shared conversations I have been having with the famous new Artificial intelligence machine this week, and I think they have a point.
It looks a bit scary. Young people (in their 20-30ties) very often prefere to use the AI research engin than a traditional, slow, “academic” one. How can we be sure the results they get and quote in their papers are the right ones?
‘Superb. The brazenness of ChatGPT. It reminds me of a concept a Swedish friend introduced me to called "guy guessing" in which a man confidently provides the answer to something which he actually has no knowledge of.’ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/killgissa
When it comes to literature references, beware! Chat-GPT is really creative with titles, ISBNs, authors. I am already working on my fourth book ... lol
It is a wonderful assistant in helping me with tone of voice à la ... or to check my grammar/syntax (which I haven't asked it to correct).
What I did was to get more familiar with the prompts and I got nuggets.
Well researched Jackie, I would have asked the Q and used the answer. Does this mean that as AI progresses, the world of knowledge will be filled with inaccurate facts, and how will we know what’s real and true?
Thanks. I know - fact-checking ChatGPT takes longer than answering the question yourself. I think I’m probably not using it right - I wonder if it gives other people better answers?

Well judging by the examples here - because the fake ones are bullshit. it is a giant bullshit engine
I got this comment from a friend

Great letter, Jackie! You made me laugh so hard.

Thanks - yes. I don’t really know how to use it yet. It seems worse than useless at the moment.
