It gives a lot of plainly wrong answers, including in fields where one would expect it to excel (basic physics, for instance).
Why would a program that outputs sudorandom strings based on how often they appeared after the string before excel at basic physics, even if it did have most of the text side of the internet fed into it to determine how often string b follows string a? It’s a miracle of programing and self reinforcement that it can form a sentence at all.
It also gives a lot of right answers.
The point is not to blindly believe either and use it as a tool to further research.
Works with online forums and real life interactions too. Just because someone said or wrote something doesn’t automatically make it reliable.
So you're saying not to blindly trust everything written on a forum is true. Which means I shouldn't trust that anything on Lemmy is true. Which means your comment on Lemmy saying not to trust everything on forums to be true must be false. Therefore everything including your comment is true, which means everything is false which means everything must be true...
It's all become quite clear! I...need a nap
LOL
But seriously though: ~~Must be false~~ -> may be false
Some times it’s difficult to tell.
