> It will bring back the ideas, quotes, and memories you need, when you need them most, with no organizing, tagging, or linking required. It will work as a personalized extension of your intelligence available 24/7 at the touch of a button.
How can people come to this conclusion after using chatgpt?
(1) Its responses are often good but they are routinely wrong as well.
(2) Search engines already do these things, without the same loss of fidelity.
1) It's mistaken responses ('hallucinations') come largely from it missing data and having to interpolate something in spite of that; if you ask it about things that it definitely has information on it can be pretty reliable (though not perfect I'm sure). ('missing data' is definitely a simplification, but it's roughly the idea.)
2) It has the potential to be far superior to a search engine because its data is indexed not only by casual natural language, but via your personal 'vocabulary': e.g. you could say things like, "what was that song Jules' friend recommended to me last week?". Not that you could get very far with current models, but what'd be required is a matter of magnitude rather than kind: e.g. for the above scenario, for it to over time aggregate info about an acquaintance or your schedule etc., it mostly just needs an extended 'memory,' which is something inroads are already being made on in GPT-4.
