That’s insane.

I sometimes use LLMs to do dumb jobs but I always double check it. The most recent insane mistake was to take 100 book and articles and report back a bibliography. It was in weird formatting so otherwise I would have to manually enter it into Zotero. It was in English and Chinese. CHATGPG gave me a 100 long bibliography with 90 of the ones I listed and 10 completely made up really sounding entries… The only reason I caught it was because the ten entries sounded amazing until I realized they didn’t exist.

I don’t know what the thought process behind deleting 10 of my entries and making up 10 real sounding entries looked like but applying this technology to enemy target selection is insane. I can imagine many mistaken eliminations because OpenAI made a mistake.
