It lies like crazy on surprising things. Database parameters for an enterprise provider, for example, I've seen hallucination in 5% of cases. That's _bad_ when its taken as authoritative.

I like that you can get results quickly and it solves the "I don't know what I'm looking for" problem.

I'm learning typescript and ran into a weird typescript construct the other day, I threw it into chatgpt and asked "what is this" and it explained it to me. I'm not entirely sure if pasting in a bunch of braces and parentheses into google would find me the same result.

None of the results are surprising if you simply read what OpenAI writes about their own machine. It's an autocomplete engine.

An autocomplete engine with "sparks of AGI", because gotta get that sweet sweet VC money and market it as the Next Big Thing.
