It's funny, I asked it what model it is, and it replies:

> am based on OpenAI's GPT-4 model. Specifically, you are interacting with an instance of GPT-4, which is designed to understand and generate human-like text based on the prompts it receives. My responses are influenced by the extensive training on diverse datasets, but I do not have access to real-time data or events beyond my knowledge cutoff in January 2022.

But the linked page suggests knowledge cutoff date is Oct 2023. It hallucinated an answer even to that....

interesting, it worked for me first try. maybe you just have difficult to understand english or poor connection

Never had a problem with either before (home cell), but sure.

I like this a lot. I don't use AI a lot and I often find it annoying, so I don't eg feel the need to install the OpenAI mobile app (which I assume exists). Having ChatGPT in my WhatsApp (I live in a place where WhatsApp is everywhere) is a nice middle ground, lets me occasionally ask it stuff without worrying about accounts and projects and models and all that stuff. Cool!

You can also go to the website and use it without logging in.

Hey nice! That's gotta be new-ish too, right? Last I checked I had to log in. Thanks!

Bet they wouldn't make that mistake if it was inputting credit card numbers

I agree about an abundance of apps, but what type of value are LLMs adding? It can sometimes be useful to input a more "human" search and have something get spit out but 60% of the time it completely lies to you. I'm talking about questions related to web specifications which are public documents. Section numbers, standards names, etc.. will be completely made up.

This is a thin edge of the wedge issue, right? ChatGPT is pretty darn good for most things. I’ve used it extensively for the past 18 months and only in a few cases would I say it “completely lied to me”. My general rubric is: “would I trust someone on Reddit to correctly guide me on this”. If the answer is “yes” then ChatGPT is likely going to do well. If the volume on a particular subject is low / susceptible to fal…

I don't want to turn this into another Claude lies less than ChatGPT subthread but since you mentioned configuration of MikroTik routers I felt like I should.

ChatGPT lies a lot about RouterOS, I don't know why. Claude helped me a lot on the other hand with all things MikroTik.

So not the best choice for Phone-a-Friend? I was hoping to become a millionaire.

Is this still an issue? Maybe I have had too high hopes for AI.

So the perception of those aged 50+, is one of people so far removed from technology they’d prefer to use a telephone to avoid their discomfort with computers? I’m well into this group and still make a lot more api calls than phone calls. Fresh out of college I recall vividly thinking, I’ll need to build an impressive list of side projects to overcome preconceptions about how much I can truly offer at my age. Maybe n…

the idea that someone who was 20 in 1995 is too old to be comfortable with computers is a horrifying and offensive stereotype that deeply worries me for my own future our industry is old enough that the first generation of pioneers has died of old age. Do you really think someone who grew up with computers in the 80s is incapable of using a smart phone? These are people who are still in the workforce today. These are…

I don't think anyone is denying the existence of Greybeards, it's more that the field has exploded so much in the meantime that the probability of a random 30 year old being in it is much higher than the probability of a random 50 year old.
