I wonder if that was the original plot of Sonic Underground, where the Oracle is straight-up lying to everyone so that he can claim the throne for himself once both parties are out of the picture...
I don't really buy this perspective. In my experience it has been astoundingly accurate in many domains. Not saying it's perfect, but it's also not nearly as bad as you make it seem.
It's very much YMMV. Once every few months I consult it for some slightly obscure programming knowledge and it provides some superposition of "wrong" and "nothing". It really shouldn't be used as a primary knowledge source until it gains the ability to predict that saying "no" is allowed
nah bro, you're thinking of the entire Business Reporting / Stock Tipster industrial complex. GPT is just a big slushie machine made of our crushed up hopes, dreams and cultures
ChatGPT is just Zapp Fuckin Brannigan. Confident, decisive action that may or may not get everyone killed. A generation ago you got McKinsey consultants to suggest mass layoffs. Now we're asking the LLMs.
Idk. I use it to write little python scripts to automate digital chores. It may be lying even then, but it's spinning lies the calculating stone in my computer believes and acts upon.
