Been seeing a lot about #ChatGPT lately and got my first question at the library this week from someone who was looking for a book that the bot had recommended. They couldn't find it in our catalog. Turns out that ALL the books that ChatGPT had recommended for their topic were non-existent. Just real authors and fake titles cobbled together. And apparently this is known behavior. 😮

@bibliotecaria This is an inherent feature. Counter to how it is often discussed, Chat GPT is not a knowledge base. It’s a language model. It simply invents text, without any understanding of it.
