AI seems to think it’s always right but in reality it is seldom correct.
Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good

Sounds like every human it’s been trained on

No, it sounds like a mindless statistics machine because that’s what it is. Even stupid people have reasons for saying and doing things.

If those people are inaccurately spouting ‘facts’ from some article they can barely remember, yeah that’s pretty much exactly the same output.

Yes, stupid people’s reason is because Trump said so, so it must be true

Asking ChatGPT isn’t research.

ChatGPT is a moderately useful tertiary source. Quoting Wikipedia isn’t research, but using Wikipedia to find primary sources and reading those is a good faith effort. Likewise, asking ChatGPT in and of itself isn’t research, but it can be a valid research aid if you use it to find relevant primary sources.

At least some editor will usually make sure Wikipedia is correct. There’s nobody ensuring chatGPT is correct.

Just using the “information” it regurgitates isn’t very useful, which is why I didn’t recommend doing that. Whether the information summarized by Wikipedia and ChatGPT is accurate really isn’t important, you use those tools to find primary sources.
