Nice article. I have been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some things have been very good, some fair, and some awful. As you may know, my book reviews are published on Substack. After I finish a review I ask Substack to write a review of the book. It disclaims knowledge of books published in 2022-23. But for earlier books it will write a review. They are terrible. In many cases ChatGPT just makes up stuff like inventing characters and plots.

Thanks. The making stuff up is right. I asked it for examples of articles that I wrote and it just made up article titles that nobody ever actually wrote!

That was fascinating. It feels as though Chatgpt has been taught that any answer is better than no answer.

I kept waiting for you to ask it why it said one thing then contradicted itself in the next answer although I suspect that, had you done so, it would have informed you about the impending failure of the AE35 unit and you would be off to Mike’s scenario ;)

Thanks for the good idea! I'll try that when I test other AIs with these same questions.
