“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. One of my young associates has been making good use of the free tool and he suggested I try it for a project I am working on. On the phone to him one night, I said that I wished I was more aware of diverse literature. You only know what you know and when reading history it is easy to hear only the dominant voice.
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?

I got this comment from a friend

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