Whatever. I used ChatGPT a couple of days ago. Needed a BASIC programming language script. Gave it w website address that showed the subset of the language that could be used and it kept using statements outside of that subset. Went round and round with it and at one point, it gave me back MicroPython to be used on a Raspberry Pico. wtf?
How can an AI computer, trained with the internet as a dataset, not know every programming language and also have poor reading comprehension?
I did notice it picked up a profile pic that I used once or twice several years ago and I’m sure it did so by way of my email address, so I wonder if it’s been programmed to offer junk answers to “far-right” people like me.
No.
Or at least not in my experience.
You have to learn to make your questions very narrow and precise to get good answers from ChatGPT. The broader and more general the questions, the worse the answers.
Imagine that you want a piece of software developed by a programmer. You plan to write out the logic or a script for software and then give those instructions to a programmer who will then turn your instructions into a finished product.
If you don't provide perfect instructions to the programmer, the process won't work. The programmer can't read your mind.
Or imagine that you are a lawyer with a brilliant paralegal/assistant. You ask your assistant to develop your defense strategy but you don't share with that assistant the minute details of the case or your thinking.
You'll get back garbage.
As I said upthread, ChatGPT is like a brilliant but inexperienced assistant. You have to help by giving it very careful instructions. If it fails, that's on you.
