Sometimes it gives you sources that don’t have anything close to what it attributes to them. So you have to always be careful and double check.
It also still likes to make things up when it does not know the answer. Weasel words like „usually“ are a good indicator of that, although sometimes it uses them despite having solid sources and a definitive answer.
To me, GPT is like having a buddy who’s both a knowledge hound and a master bullshitter. Always keep that in mind, and it’ll be much more useful as the tool that it is.
And IME, training it over time greatly helps with such hallucinations and ‘confidently incorrect’ stuff. In a way, it’s not unlike carefully curating a feed over time.
