Because very few people ever stop and take account of how monstrously unreliable people are.

At the same time I can ask GPT to write a script, reflect on its output, and it takes about 95% of the work I need to do out of script writing.

But... How much does it hallucinate? Are there safer areas or ways of asking questions, than others? Genuine question. I found that when I ask simple factual questions in a... "non pushy non presumptive" manner, it gives accurate basic answers in areas I'm familiar with. I ask it simple things about basic French or basic Python or basic music theory and so far it's been... brilliant!

I found most examples of hallucination on the web to be pushy or presumptive or edgy I. E. "tell me the ways in which vaccines cause male pattern baldness" and then manipulate prompts.

So I assume there are areas and approaches that are safer and more useful, and areas and approaches that are riskier?

It's shocking to me how many people are treating Google Search as a reliable source given how much we know it silos people into extremist sites, and has been extensively gamed by SEO professionals.
