Completely agree. I've been frequently using ChatGPT to learn new things in my free time. I realize that there's a huge amount of downplay regarding the accuracy of responses, but unless you're asking specifically for verified references or quotes, it does remarkably well in smoothly guiding you towards new keywords/concepts/ideas. Treat it like a map, rather than a full-self-driving tesla, and it's tremendously useful for learning.
That’s true but I think he’s suggesting it generates ideas which you can then research. You would know that it was hallucinating when you go to research a topic and find nothing. So using it as a discovery tool basically.
Heavy caution... I tried this with GPT3 on a topic I know well (electric motors) and beyond what you might find in the first page of a search engine it went to hallucination station pretty quickly.
"it does remarkably well in smoothly guiding you towards new keywords/concepts/ideas"
Are you more effective at finding such new keywords/concepts/ideas with ChatGPT's help than without, or is it just that style of learning or its novelty that you prefer?
Sorry for the derail, but this does not exist and yet this is the second time today I’ve seen it used as a benchmark for what is possible. Would you care to say more?
Seems like a pretty apt analogy. People want to use LLMs like a fully self-driving Tesla, but the "self-driving Tesla" version of LLMs doesn't exist either.
