This is terrifying: a marketer pinged me for quote permission — common for a journalist. Only I didn’t recognize the text as something I’d ever said. Pumping it into Google returned nothing.I asked where he got it: ChatGPT. AI fabricated a quote and attributed it to me. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/FbkKoDNwXH— Chris Paukert (@CPAutoScribe) May 4, 2023

This is going to wreck society even more.

Please, for the love of Marx, do not take ChatGPT at its word on anything. It has no intelligence. No ability to sort the truth from fiction. It is just a very advanced chat bot that knows how to string words together in a sentence and paragraph.

DO NOT BELIEVE IT. IT DOES NOT CITE SOURCES.

I feel like my HS English/Science teacher begging kids to not use Wikipedia, right now.

But even Wikipedia is better than ChatGPT because. Wikipedia. Cites. Sources.

    the real threat to society is not machine intelligence but human credulousness

    it sucks because ML tech is genuinely fascinating and useful for many things but these tech companies marketing it as "AI" is incredibly stupid and dangerous
