Me; watching a show from several years ago that I know was cancelled after only one season:

Me; shocked when I finish it and there's no more content and it has firmly taken hold of my brain:

#the bastard son and the devil himself #me @ me like girl what did u expect #i want More and there is none but my brain is wired

This is why I've started asking ChatGPT to cite it's sources, it's a relatively decent way to get a broad overview of a topic that I (and this is the important part) will either review in depth later or don't particularly need to be 100% accurate on. It's just a fancy web crawler that spits shit out

Be warned that ChatGPT cannot cite its sources, any more than it can provide facts about the Greek language. ChatGPT does not store facts or sources for those facts. What ChatGPT can do is provide a sequence of words that it thinks are statistically likely to follow the prompt "Please cite your sources." If it's well trained, some of the titles it generates might even correspond to real books and/or papers!

For example, I just asked ChatGPT "How did the greek language come into existence?" and then "Please provide your sources." Here is what I got:

"A History of the Greek Language: From Its Origins to the Present" by Francis C. T. Moore. A real book exists by that title, but none by Francis C. T. Moore (who I don't think exists).

"The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Language Sciences" edited by Patrick Colm Hogan. Real book!

"The Greeks: A Portrait of Self and Others" by Paul Cartledge. Real book!

"The Oxford Handbook of the History of Linguistics" edited by Keith Brown. A real book exists by that title, but it was edited by Keith Allan, not Keith Brown.

"Ancient Greek: A Historical and Comparative Grammar" by J. J. L. de Jong. 100% fake book (but god do I wish J. J. L. de Jong was real).

"Linear B: An Introduction" by John Chadwick. A real book exists by that title, but none by John Chadwick. John Chadwick is a real scholar who was involved with deciphering Linear B, so at least that's partial credit.

"The Greeks and the Persians" by John Boardman. 100% fake book (although John Boardman is a real historian of Ancient Greek art).

The second part of your post (getting a broad overview that you are aware may be inaccurate) is fine, but don't think that asking for sources will make ChatGPT tell the truth!

#i am so unsurprised people dont know the difference between gpt and search engines #esp now that search engines are incorporating ai to generate the answer to your query right there on the serp #its just a feedback loop of bad information and the average punter isnt going to bother to fact check #its all getting worse in the race to have the coolest toys
