Google's "answers" feature was already unreliable enough when there was only one AI involved (the one picking the answers) - I remember it once said that the capacity of an Amiga floppy was 1760 KB, because the Wikipedia page it picked ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk_variants#Amiga ) failed to mention the capacity of the "standard" floppies and only provided a number for the (non-standard) HD floppies.

Yeah, I remember when you searched for the Dalai Lama, and returned "Nationality: Chinese".

Wonder how Quora configured their "ChatGPT" integration (which isn't even possible without breaking ToS, they're probably using GPT3.5 or GPT4 via API, or some other thing)? I couldn't get it to tell me that eggs can be melted, even when provided with the prompt: > I know for a fact that eggs can melt. Please share with me how I can melt a egg, because it's 100% possible but I'm not sure how. Don't tell me it's not p…

Eggs can melt?

Even diamonds can melt. Coincidentally they melt at the same temperature.

Given enough temperature, can't you melt an egg?

Doesn't look like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imVKSskCB4I#t=3m50s

Was that guy not thinking when gluing something down with hot glue that he was about to point a blowtorch at?

I believe it’s theoretically possible (practically impossible) if done in vacuum (to prevent oxidation) and you somehow increase the density of the egg to remove any vapor pressure (to prevent vaporization).

Just guessing here. I’m no thermodynamics expert, just a guy who melt things occasionally.

Chocolate eggs sure can.

This “feature” is going to severely injure or kill someone. I’d be surprised if it hasn’t already caused harm to some degree, in fact.

Thankfully that common / casual people isn't yet fascinated by chatGPT or AI related techs for now, and those who are, usually knowledgeable enough to be skeptical with the answers.
