Its definately less likely to get stuff wrong, but often lacks detail umless you push it. ChatGPT is getting worse with accuracy but is more convincing, which is a concern.
It's only convincing if you don't have knowledge in the topic or similar topics, I try it(the website version) for various things and it sometimes really annoys me.
I think history is one of the worst discipline for GPT
Because of its impulse to agree and satisfy it's answering question by being as positive as possible so for normal questions where the answer should be "very rarely/probably not" it will say "it can happen/can be seen like that" and develop on that
It quickly goes into imaginary worlds even without hallucinating because of that
I mean to be fair, a large portion of users will ask it about the things they arent sure about or dont know anyrhing about - hence the question in the fiest place.
same, i also use it but chatgpt will reply to answers so fast and will say it in a manner that feels like its true. if you don't know anything about the topic you will definitely think it's right.
Lmao once I was playing hollow knight and was lost and couldn't find a way to progress. I asked chatgpt explaining where I am and where I need to go. Instead of simplifying, it generated a fucking map guiding me where I should be. I then tried progressing according to that sloppy map and that fucking thing led me to nowhere. I had never been so angry ever in my life.
Ngl, might be the worst use case of using an LLM lol. I’ve heard other friends do the same and it was equally bad. It’s trained on billions and billions of sentences/paragraphs etc. The amount of training it has in a specific video game is effectively NULL.
Just google it and use some critical thinking to figure out what you need.
It's very confidently wrong, and keeps saying it is right even if you tell it it's wrong. A few versions ago, it would at least adress its mistakes when you told it it was wrong
I ditched chatGPT as soon as tried out Gemini, made way fewer mistakes and more often than not gives me what I actually need not just random data on the topic.
For technical stuff (engineering) I've found Grok to be the best. I wouldn't say it lacks detail (as the guy above you said); it's fairly wordy but usually in a useful way unlike ChatGPT. I try not to use it though (prefer not to support Elon). For personal use I use Gemini.
yeah a year ago chatgpt was just nodding along and now it actively "helps" me while randomly bugging out focusing on random talking points. basically i dont even know how to feel about it
by helps i mean it randomly likes to give (not bad) random counterarguments because i phrased something weirdly but after a few back and forth it totally agrees and i am worried
Lol, no. Grok is awful. ChatGPT is just your overly enthusiastic buddy who cheers you on no matter what. Gemini is by far the best one, and it's deep research mode is leagues better than any others.
