I get the general techbro sphere doing this because they're fucking idiots, but you are the maintainers of this technology. You know this is ultimately a language model built to synthesize information from pre-existing data sets. This is extremely fucking ghoulish.
I hate the promotion of the idea that we should be using generative adversarial networks as search engines or encyclopedias so much it's unreal, literal misinfo generation machines :agony-shivering:
The funny thing is that if your search term is "very specific phrase" it doesn't turn up. When you search for "Stalin" it does in fact turn something up. Albeit there is a stark difference in using a search at a public facing website and Emailing them and getting a response it is an urban myth.
Especially if you could just go to an archive and look up the primary sources. It has to be a bit.
