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.

    This is actually my real concern with AI language models. I'm not worried they'll become sentient and take over all our jobs and the world.

    I'm more concerned people will think AI language models can do things they actually can't do, and then try to use them for things they're not suitable for, all the while thinking they have some new kind of all-powerful, all-knowing intelligence on their hands that they can make do all the work for them.

      They want the computer from star trek, and won't acknowledge they have a speech writer without morals or a career to worry about.
