If you believe in “artificial intelligence”, get five minutes to ask it about things you know well

Here is the a thread of masodon from one year ago.

Just a quick check on how to go to chatgpt …

I: That the species are reassigned Bracencenancabus Bracai in one’s own genus, and when?

Chatgpt: The species Bracencenancabus Bracai reigned in one’s own genus, Giraffatitanto Paleotontologist Michael Janensch in 1914.

I: Dude, that’s wrong I can’t.

ChatGPT: I apologize for the mistake of my previous answer. The reassignment of Bracencenancabus Bracai UNTO Giraffatanan Brancai Michael Janensch didn’t do. The correct recognition goes to the Paleontologist Ernst Stromer, who has changed it in 1914.

I: That answer is worse. The name of the stromer is not involved in the genus name or Name of species.

Chatgpt: I apologize for the confusion of my previous answers. The reassignment of Bracencenancabus Bracai UNTO Giraffatanan Brancai Actually made by Paleontologist Werner Janensch, not Michael Janensch, in 1914.

Regular readers will know that the actual order of events is:

• Riggs (1903) is named genus Brachiosaurus and its kind of class Brachiosaurus Altithorax.
• Janensch (1914) was named a second species in this genus, “Brachiosaurus “ Branca.
• Paul (1988) is regarded as the two species separating the subgeneric level (a taxonomic level rarely when used by vertebrate palaeontology) and named subgenus Brachiosaurus (Giraffatitan) Branca.
• Olshevsky (1991) Used combination of genus-and-species Giraffatanan Brancai If not commented on a Published Published booklet, a Carrinaton not followed by any formal publication I know, to …
• Taylor (2009) shows that many characters separate two species and that Giraffatitan a different genus with type types G. Branca.

Today, chatgpt got each part of that wrong. It leaves Riggs, Paul, Olshevsky and I’m perfect. It credited with Werner Janensch for reassigning a genus one genus used the name 19 years after he died. It removes the bad stromer of Ernst for some reason. It invented “The Paleontologist Michael Janensch”, who may not be holy children of Wernener Janensch and me. And in all three answers, it was compelled that the reassignment was made in 1914, 74 years before the name Giraffatitan tied together.

But the worst part of it is not the mistakes. Not the belief in the blithe where the wrong facts were recited. Not even the bland “I apologize for the mistake of my previous answer” to follow a better thing useless. That’s that These errors respond look more just. For a lay-person – one, foolish, don’t read this blog for the last eighteen years – the answers given here are reasonable. A child who makes a homework report at Brachiosaurus These answers can and do it in submission without even an inkling they are perfectly wrong. And the teacher who should mark the essay is likely to devour them.

Since LLMs get dangerous answers to the topics I know, I don’t trust them all on topics I don’t know. And if you trust them, I ask you to spend five minutes asking your favorite about something you know in detail.

Why i keep banging in about it? Because we reach a more toxic round of AI history. Many companies play the billions of dollars in the dream of replace human workers who will heal to go to their investments while they are tall. We are here at the “Pump” phase of a wide pump-and-dump industry. Wise for all the watch to move in.

(Matan -re: LLMS is useful for certain types of questions. I used them reminding me of the programming-language idiots, asking questions like “to go, if I had something to satisfy false Interface, how can I find out which specific type of error structure? “. They are good for this because you can easily find out if the answer is correct or not, thanks to the merciless compiler. The llms are not worthless; they are just withdrawal and wrong.)
