A couple of weeks back I asked ChatGPT a question pertaining to something that isn't general public knowledge and that is specific to a very niche field that I work in. I was curious about where it may try to get its info from.
It replied with an answer that was at least twenty years out of date. It gave me this info as a fact. When I corrected it, it said that I was correct and that it made a mistake.
I preceded to question where it got its info from and why didn't it attempt to validate that info from newer sources. I was given an excuse about how some newer info may not be in its system if it is newer than September 2021.
This was a poor excuse as the correct info has been available for at least 10 years. It continued to apologize for its errors in handling the questions and said that it assumed the first info it came across was correct.
It said it attempts to use the data in its database before going to the internet for sources and that in answering my question, it didn't access the web, even when checking whether my correction was correct.
My experience with it leaves me to believe it is 100% a propaganda tool. It is in no way going to replace any of us from a work/job point of view as the media tries to scare us into believing. It has provided me with the wrong answers more than it has done right.
It is great at giving you the feeling that you are talking to a real person and its ability to read into what you are saying.
I would never take what it tells me as factual but the problem is that the sheep in this world will.
