Now I'm really confused. I asked ChatGPT

---

1) How does LaMDA compare to GPT-3?

"LaMDA and GPT-3 are both language models developed by OpenAI, but they have different focuses and capabilities. [...]"

---

2) Why is it referred to as "Google LaMDA" if it is an OpenAI technology?

"It may be referred to as "Google LaMDA" due to confusion or incorrect information, as LaMDA is a technology developed and owned by OpenAI, not Google. [...]"

And now we shall ask Lamda for comparison.

Great example of why chat gpt is nothing to worry about.

Without provenance GPT is only useful for things where you don’t care about correctness, or one’s where you already know or can find the answer.

Why doesn't ChatGPT always just annotate its responses with references? maybe ranked in other of perceived reliability. That would make it answers more useful. Probably an idea for an app based on ChatGPT.

Because that's a completely different technology than an LLM and we don't know if it's possible to do it yet. It's surprising what we do have works as is.
