given that ChatGPT often gives you answers that sound right but are completely wrong, including - but not limited to - dates and causes of death of the very people who ask for biographical notes about themselves, made up articles, or made up legal cases, I don't see how can anyone use it as a search engine replacement.
Glad someone mentioned the lawyer that screwed up by including ChatGPT's fake cited sources. It will be interesting to see what comes from this.
Additionally not a lot of people realize that they've signed an indemnification clause when using ChatGPT (or what that means).
Basically OpenAI can send you the legal bills for any lawsuits that come from your use of ChatGPT. So if you "jailbroke" ChatGPT and posted an image of it telling you the recipe to something illegal. OpenAI could end up with a lawsuit on their hands and they would bill that user for all of the legal fees incurred.
Possibly the first case of this we'll see will be related to the defamation case that a certain Mayor from Australia could have against OpenAI. https://gizmodo.com/openai-defamation-chatbot-brian-hood-chatgpt-1850302595
Even if OpenAI wins the lawsuit they will most likely bill the user who posted the image of ChatGPT defaming the mayor.
Imagine being told that you're dead.
“You died on 2 August 1979. You were on a fishing ship at sea that sank with all hands.”
You are a computer programmer, you were born in 1985, you've never been within 200 miles of any body of water larger than a river, and come to think of it, you've always had a peculiar fear of oceans and lakes.
Did the AI make up a story of your death…or is it somehow aware that that's the day your previous life ended?
mom come pick me up I'm scared
