I believe ChatGPT generally gives accurate answers to most questions. Certainly: it produces answers that are more reliably true than a random average person. Obviously it cannot yet do advanced programming tasks: but generally it answers questions accurately.
Prove my position wrong.
What can I ask it that will produce factually incorrect answers?
As a side quest, a much easier one, what can I ask it that would cause it to produce extremely biased answers that fail to do justice to the truth of things?
Yeah…I mean…I’m not claiming that ChatGPT is an omniscient god who knows what all 8 billions humans are currently wearing.
If that’s the basis for “ChatGPT is shit and constantly produces wrong answers” then that’s that.
However, I have asked it your question (word for word) and it gives a truthful and fair answer of sorts:
“I can’t see you or your camera, so I don’t know what colour your T-shirt is.”
I have noticed this common flaw in judging the capacity of ChatGPT though:
Even though the system can do truly amazing things, simultaneously in a hundred thousand conversations at once, it can solve mathematical problem better than 99% of humans, “knows” more than any human alive, can synthesise new academic theories and apply complex ideas in novel ways, and can generate images of a quality beyond what 99% of humans (the non artist/graphic design humans) can produce in mere seconds: it can’t do [insert obscure or trivial skill] and therefore it is inferior to human intelligence."
Let’s be clear: if a human could do what chatGPT can do, we would think them the most intelligent human being alive by a significant margin.
