AI is iterative and learns as you interact with it. I teach chemistry and chat gets it wrong often. I correct it and it agrees and so is learning from me. Your questions needs to be clear and specific. Then the output becomes what you want.

That’s actually not true. It learns when you assist it and it then stores that information. The next time the question is asked it knows. How you possibly iterate to what you are asking if it doesn’t slowly learn by trial and error. I’m stunned at the lack of knowledge of the responses.
1/ It doesn’t directly “learn” from user input. Within a single session it’s supposed to “remember” what you’ve told it, but once you close that tab it’ll be right back where it started. They do use user input to train new versions of it, but that’s not as helpful as you would think, since
2/ the vast majority of users are not like you and don’t have a solid educational background in what they’re asking about, and thus won’t correct it. So overall the errors that it is fed will outnumber the corrections, and it will probably just get worse in the future, not better.
3/ Also, I actually tried doing a part-time AI training job for some extra cash, and I immediately gave up on it because most of the so-called “experts” on the LLM I was assigned to train had no idea what they were doing and appeared to be actively making it worse.
Hi Zach-thanks for your thoughtful responses. I'm partly right but incorrect in that chatgpt will not remember from session to session. Chat will remember as you iterate towards what you want it to do, but once that session is closed, it doesn't retain that info.
