The author also highlights an experiment where ChatGPT was tasked with making money online, which didn't yield successful results. The article concludes by stating that while AI can provide accurate answers when given the correct context and questions, it fails to provide uniquely applicable, empathetic advice like a human mentor or teacher would. The author suggests that the value of information today lies in delivering the right information to the right people in the right way, an area where AI currently falls short.
Key takeaways:
- ChatGPT generates responses based on the highest mathematical probabilities derived from existing texts on the internet, which may not always provide the best or most applicable advice.
- While ChatGPT can provide accurate answers if given the correct context and asked the right questions, it often falls short in providing uniquely applicable and empathizing advice.
- Despite its limitations, ChatGPT can be highly useful in generating responses that are often applicable in the real world.
- AI is not yet capable of what a good teacher or mentor can do in terms of providing good, uniquely applicable, empathizing advice, and is better suited to explaining things.
