I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I have to assume there's some kind of process for checking citations you're taught along the way that go beyond trusting what a computer writes.

I know he said his assumed that ChatGPT had some kind of access to data other sites didn't but not finding those cases anywhere else should've raised red flags. People need some refreshers on computer literacy.

If lawyers can't be responsible enough to check their citations, imagine how easy it is for the general population to fall for misinformation. Just seeing a post on facebook is enough for some people to consider it a fact.

Before FB, just getting an email from someone that they forwarded from someone else was enough for some people to accept whatever the email said as absolute fact and forward it again to everyone they knew.

The way people assume ChatGPT is intelligent or knows facts bothers me.

spoilerIs it dangerous to have shit in your stool?

Yes, it is dangerous. Shit in the faeces can indicate infectious diseases or digestive problems that can cause health problems. It is important to contact your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms so that you can get proper treatment and diagnosis.

What if I have piss in my urine?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It is natural to have piss in the urine, as urine is mainly made up of water and urine-derived substances such as uric acid, salts and nitrogen breakdown products. For this reason, it is normal for urine to be accompanied by a small amount of piss, which is the muscle work needed to empty the bladder.

Under normal circumstances, the presence of piss in the urine is not a sign of any dangerous or pathological condition. However, if you notice large amounts of piss in the urine or notice other unusual symptoms such as the presence of blood in the urine, symptoms of urinary tract infection, pain or discomfort when urinating, it is advisable to consult a doctor.

Your doctor can assess the situation further and, if necessary, carry out additional tests, such as a urine sample analysis or urine tests, to determine the cause of the piss in the urine and to make sure there is no serious health problem.

As long as it is stored in your balls, you're fine...

Honestly, bold move on his part thinking this would work for him.

It's amazing how many people think chatgpt can't be wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I use ChatGPT more days than not for my job; but I use it to help me find things I might not have known about... and then I go and actually look up those things to get correct information. It's really good at helping you find words to google to get at what you want. It's really BAD at always giving you good information.

It really goes to show how good ChatGPT is at creating realistic sounding responses. If you don't know how it works, it can be easy to wrongly trust it.

This is utterly fantastic

His mistake was not plugging the blockchain into the mainframe using AI
