ChatGPT spin off from: What happens to the energy in destructive interference?

[PeroK]

nobody is disputing that Chat GPT often produces answers that are correct.

Um ... that's precisely what they are doing. That's the only thing I've been arguing. That it doesn't "almost always give the wrong factual answer". Which was the original claim.

It's nothing to do with AI or thinking. It's a dispute about whether ChatGPT is almost always wrong.

My specific claim is that it is unreliable for factual information. I don’t claim “almost always” wrong, I claim “often” wrong.

The OP did claim that though.

Every time I ask ChatGPT something factual, I ask it something that I can check myself, and the answer is almost always factually incorrect.

The OP did claim that though.

Yes. They did.

Edit: actually the answer is still wrong, but not as wrong as before.

At least it isn't "not even wrong".

This thread is sounding an awful lot like arguing about "How many fairies can dance on the head of a pin."
