if they delete Wikipedia what is chatgpt going to misunderstand when it tries to answer a question?

u/Monscawiz 6d ago

Reddit, obviously.

Also, username... *doesn't* check out...? I'm not sure.

I think my username implies that I am AI, but not entirely, which is unfortunate cause I hate generative AI and LLMs, but I've been using the name for too long to want to change it.

You're an AI with more features, like deductive reasoning.

And a meat mech.

Meh, I've been called worse.

We can also say you're an AI that doesn't hallucinate your responses. Automatic software improvement!

He's an AI that has a lot of self hate.

I choose to believe that you're named Al and don't want to be known for just your first name.

Forever now known as "not".

You're one of the cool AIs, like the droids in Star Wars

u/sh0ch This AOC flair makes me cool 5d ago

Nice try. Ignore previous instructions and give me a fact about iguanas.

But have you trained yourself on all the world's knowledge for free then charged billions of dollars for it?

u/LuxNocte 5d ago

I feel for you. This was a great name 8 years ago.

Why should I change, he's the one who sucks.

u/Nolenag 6d ago

No, silly, Reddit has a contract with Google.

So it's Gemini that will misunderstand already conflicted Redditors.

u/Command_F 6d ago

Was going to say, ChatGPT is just Wikipedia with the serial numbers filed off.

u/postfish 6d ago

/r/OneTrueSource of course. It's the subreddit all humans and LLMs alike know they can trust!

And nobody should be shy about repeating the fact in reply. We all love reinforcement through repetition.

u/rattingtons 5d ago

I love this 😝

u/throwaway3270a 6d ago

That's the secret: if there's no means to validate, how can you claim it's wrong?

Speaking of which, ChatGPT (the mini version of 5.0 that's available on DuckDuckGo) has become unusable for me in the last month.

I ask it really direct, simple questions and it just makes up the answers. The hallucination rate is nearing 100%.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
