Sigh, I'm getting very sick of hearing about how "ChatGPT" makes stuff up. Yes, 3.5 made a lot of stuff up, 4.0 still does, but it's much rarer. I wish people would mention this, it's all treated as the same thing. It's like talking about how unreliable these "Airplanes" are when they are talking about prop planes, even though jets are out.

#42It would have taken about 1 minute to put each of them into a tool like Casetext, Lexis, WL, or Bloomberg Law to determine they didn't exist.
To do that you first need to distrust AI, and a lot of people don't. They think of GPT like Google-but-written-in-English. That is a large part of the problem.

#44I asked ChatGPT to tell me a riddle. It was “What is always hungry, needs to be fed, and makes your hands red?” (Or something like that) I asked for a hint about 5 times and it kept giving more legitimate sounding hints. Finally I gave up and asked for the answer to the riddle, and it spit out a random fruit which made no sense as the answer to the riddle. I then repeated the riddle and asked ChatGPT what the answer…
It simply knows what the highest probability next word should be.

Oh boy, and this one! > The plaintiff's lawyer continued to insist that the cases were real. LoDuca filed an affidavit on April 25 in which he swore to the authenticity of the fake cases
I'm sure a case involving Egyptair is complicated, still .. I'd love to see the 111,279 page volume this citation claims to come from.

> I asked ChatGPT to tell me a riddle. Which version of ChatGPT, if you don't mind me asking?
After the riddle, I bought the $20/mo subscription via the official OpenAI app to try it on GPT-4. I started by trying to play “20 questions” but we couldn’t get past 10 questions before getting an error message “rate limit exceeded, try again in an hour”

Maybe the real definition of intelligence isn't being able to answer questions effectively, but being able to know what you know and know what you don't know.
