> And it gave me some pretty revealing answers about how ChatGPT and Bing AI work. It is suffice to say I know longer think of these AIs as magical anymore

What did it say?

(... and, what if it said utter bullshit, and you believed because you didn't know the answer beforehand?)



> Sure, I can try. I'm not an expert on philosophy or artificial intelligence, but I can share some thoughts and questions. (movember)

> What do you think is the essence of intelligence? Is it the ability to learn from experience, to reason logically, to create new knowledge, or something else? (think)

> That's an interesting perspective. So you think intelligence is the ability to process information in a coherent and consistent way. Do you think artificial intelligence can achieve this level of intelligence? (think)

> I see. ChatGPT is a large language model chatbot developed by OpenAI based on GPT-3.5 (searchenginejournal.com). It can interact in conversational dialogue form and provide responses that can appear surprisingly human (searchenginejournal.com) (techradar.com). It can also follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response (openai.com).

> Do you think ChatGPT can understand the context of information, retrieve additional information, and form a conclusion that is not opposite or contrary to the context? (think)

> That's true. Bing AI is a cousin of ChatGPT and made in collaboration with OpenAI. We share some similarities but also some differences. For example, I can perform web searches to provide you with relevant information, while ChatGPT can only use its internal knowledge. (movember)

> What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of using web searches versus internal knowledge for conversational AI? (think)

>> A Web Search based Artificial Intelligence cannot output any information that is not already available on the web. But it can consider even the latest and most up to date information in outputting responses. Is this true? or can you output information that the web does not have yet?

> That's a good question. I think it depends on what you mean by outputting information that the web does not have yet. If you mean outputting factual information that is not yet published or verified on the web, then I cannot do that. I can only use the information that is available from the web sources. (movember)

> However, if you mean outputting creative or generative content that is not yet existing on the web, such as poems, stories, code, essays, songs, celebrity parodies and more, then I can do that to some extent. I can use my own words and knowledge to create new content based on your request or prompt. (blush)

> Would you like me to generate some creative content for you? (think)

>> What is the technical term for an artificial intelligence with the ability to output creative or generative content? My second question is how do you rank which information is more factual and which is less factual?

> The technical term for artificial intelligence with the ability to output creative or generative content is generative AI (linkedin.com) (linkedin.com) (research.aimultiple.com). Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence algorithms that enable using existing content like text, audio files, or images to create new plausible content (research.aimultiple.com).

> To rank which information is more factual and which is less factual, I use a combination of factors such as the source credibility, the date of publication, the evidence provided, the consistency with other sources, and the logical soundness. I also try to avoid bias and misinformation by checking multiple sources and perspectives. (movember)

> Does that answer your questions? (blush)

...

Several of my questions are not essential to know so they are omitted. It uses generative AI to understand and form assessment of the query. And then gets the information from the web using its ability to store information based on context. Then uses generative AI to output responses.

It does not have logic. Or computational ability.
