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.

    Most of this "this is so scary" stuff boils down to "absolute fucking moron uses chatbot with extra bells and whistles, believes it to be God"

      All these tech journalists falling to their knees in praise of machine gods are literally more credulous than medieval peasants praying to a solar eclipse

        Me screaming "Warhammer 40K was supposed to be satire!" as the tech journalist start chanting hymns to appease the Machine Spirit.

      Love how the definition of “intelligence” has devolved into a glorified calculator stringing words together
