"What good is an AI that can't answer questions about Tiananmen Square?!"
You're getting so close to understanding... Censorship aside, LLMs are not question-answering machines. They can't answer questions about anything.
My hope is that the fear of "China spying on our AI queries" and "China making AI spit out propaganda answers" would be enough to convince people that maybe treating LLMs as question-answering machines is a terrible idea all around.
@nyquildotorg If you're referring to my post from a little earlier…
I agree completely. I've heard of people using ChatGPT as their new search engine and the idea horrifies me. Instead of getting links to the original sources, you're getting a lossy, uncited summary of those sources, filtered through whatever biases the modeler accidentally or purposefully injected. No thanks.
Yeah, it will be interesting when people cite chatgpt as a source which one cannot verify as you can't revist that source. At least with WikiPedia or other more credible sources you can put in source url, date etc and people know when you found the source
Chat gpt is hopeless. a friend found instructions to make slime, just what to do, no ingreident list or how much to use, so from a science viewpoint totally useless.
