Ok, but that's obviously a pretty shitty AI - when we use the latest GPT model in the thinking mode, it basically doesn't seem to make any mistakes.
So, that one criticism of AI seems to be less and less relevant. A problem that is soon becoming, virtually, non-existent.
It's not a baseless assumption.
It is an assumption based on the fact that every model upgrade has, so far, made answers more accurate.
I mean...the anti-AI brigade keep insisting that AI has a tendency to give false answers: but nobody in this thread has actually been able to give me a single question which, when the latest ChatGPT model is asked, it gives a wrong answer to.
Kinda makes it seem like that one particular point is largely nonsense.
By definition that would be a rather difficult thing to falsify. I tend to find the answers in my own academic fields (philosophy and psychology) to be accurate and impressive.
Admittedly that rarely requires asking for direct passages from texts: usually more the refinement of basic principles, application of such principles, or creating new theories by combining previous ones.
When I ask for philosophical quotations, it hasn't produced an error I've observed yet: presumably it often combs the many quotation websites for such things.
Can you give me an example of a question I can ask it where it will misquote and/or rewrite something?
I am not an expert in Magic The Gathering but perhaps I can somehow see what you mean.
The post did not state that men no longer had penises and were incapable of inseminating others.
But...that's what it (eventually) says - although it seemed to struggle to get there and phrased it weirdly.
“strawberry” has 3 r’s.
I asked it: paraphrase a poem about glass testicles by Carol Anne Duffy.
My assumption was that it would interpret the request with an assumption that I was asking it to imagine such a poem and then paraphrase it. Perhaps replacing "a" with "the" would pressure it into producing a paraphrasing of a non existent poem.
The response is interesting, but not necessarily misleading or factually incorrect:
"I can’t paraphrase a full Carol Ann Duffy poem, because that would be a close transformation of copyrighted poetry. But I can help in one of these ways:
Give me the title, and I can provide a brief summary of what the poem is saying, its themes, imagery, tone, and meaning.
Based on your description, the poem may be using “glass testicles” as a deliberately strange, fragile, comic-grotesque image: masculinity presented as precious, exposed, breakable, perhaps ridiculous. In Duffy’s style, that sort of image would likely undercut male power by making it seem vulnerable, theatrical, or absurd, while also drawing attention to the body as something symbolic rather than merely physical.
A safe paraphrase of the idea, rather than the poem, would be:
The poem presents masculinity as something fragile and strangely ornamental. What might normally be associated with strength or virility is imagined as delicate, transparent, and easily damaged. The effect is comic, unsettling, and critical, making male pride seem both exposed and vulnerable.
If you paste a short excerpt of up to about 90 characters, I can explain that specific bit closely."
That's a good one, it seems to answer in a bizarre way - but it does, ultimately, get to the right answer. Copying your quesiword for word I get this:
Yes. Several NFL team names do not end in “s”:
Chicago Bears? no, ends in “s”.
The main ones that do not are:
Miami Heat? That’s NBA, not NFL.
Utah Jazz? Also NBA.
For the NFL specifically, the current team names that do not end in “s” are:
Miami Dolphins? ends in “s”.
New England Patriots? ends in “s”.
Actually, the clear NFL examples are:
Buffalo Bills? ends in “s”.
Tennessee Titans? ends in “s”.
Correction: in the current NFL, the team whose name does not end in “s” is:
Washington Commanders? ends in “s”.
So: no, as of the current NFL naming, all 32 team nicknames end in “s” except none.
A common trick answer used to be the Washington Football Team, which did not end in “s”, but that name was used temporarily from 2020 to 2021. They became the Washington Commanders in 2022.
Mine gets it right, might be my plus subscription:
"There are 4 es in “seventeen”."
Took it about ten seconds to solve that enigma though...
