Doesn't chat gpt still just make random stuff up?

Considering in much of the world Google defaults to AI answers now, it's just a matter of who makes up less incorrect shit

[–] Scolding7300@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Even when AI is given search results it can struggle with anything that's not simple. Kagi has a search integration and it references the websites, even then I often find mistakes, although much less without it.

I don't trust LLMs without this integration

they released a search engine where the model reads the first link before trying to answer your request

I am going to pass on that.

Adding A.I. into a product is the equivalent of saying one more lane will fix traffic

What's next? Temu as your default search engine? The hotline to your nearest car dealership? Maybe just sit a tea leaf reader next to your desk to answer your questions. The possibilities are endless!

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Why use a search engine at all when you can have your browser directly text your mom.

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ignorance is bliss..

A.I. means Assumed Intelligence, despite what you might have read elsewhere. Using it to do "research" is how you're going to get first hand experience with so-called "hallucinations".

But you do you..

AI means Artificial Intelligence.

Nowadays people think that AI is only chatbots like ChatGPT, which are just LLMs.

edit: fixed mistake

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

AI means Artificial Intelligence.

It means Alpaca Insurance!

Also, that is an algorithm and not intelligence. Logic isn't the same thing as intelligence.

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, you didn't "edit" your mistake, you completely changed the meaning of your response which makes anything after it look absurd.

You originally stated that an algorithm was intelligence, the implication being that using your logic, you thought that a calculator was intelligent.

As far as the meaning of AI, you clearly don't understand the landscape surrounding the hyperbolic assertions made by ignorant journalism about the topic.

Machine learning is one aspect of the landscape, useful as it is, intelligence it is not.

LLM emissions on the other hand appear to emulate enough grammatically correct language to fool many people some of the time, leading to their mistaken belief that what is happening is intelligence rather than, at least from their perspective, magic.

(Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -- Arthur C. Clarke)

So, intelligence it is not, Assumed Intelligence is what it is, or autocorrect gone uppity if you prefer, an algorithm either way.

If I typed "why should I use chatgpt as a search engine" would I get some self-celebratory wall of text, or be among the first victims of the machines uprising?

[–] rfr_Foglia@feddit.it 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is this extension directly from OpenAI? Or is it third party?

[–] LemmyBe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It seems to be directly from OpenAI. You can find the link when you click on your account dropdown menu on chatgpt.com.
