    ChatGPT is unreliable, but AIs that can search the internet can be just as reliable and trustworthy as human authors. Of course, Bing Chat is not FOSS, so I don’t fully support it, but it is very good at writing accurate articles.

        I understand they are just fancy text prediction algorithms, which is probably justa as much as you do (if you are a machine learning expert, I do apologise). Still, the good ones that get their data from the internet rarely make mistakes.

          I’m not an ML expert but we’ve been using them for a while in neurosciences (software dev in bioinformatics). They are impressive, but have no semantics, no logics. It’s just a fancy mirror. That’s why, for example, world of warcraft player have been able to trick those bots into making an article about a feature that doesn’t exist.

          Do you really want to lose your time reading a blob of data with no coherency?

            We are both on the internet, lol. And I mean it. LLMs are slightly worse than the CEO-optimized clickbaity word salad you get in most articles. Before you’ve found out how\where to search for direct and correct answers, it would be just the same or maybe worse. <– I found this skill a bit fascinating, that we learn to read patterns and red flags without even opening a page. I doubt it’s possible to make a reliable model with that bullshit detector.

          I don’t think it was ever turned off, it just requires the subscription to access GPT-4 and then enabling the plugins.

          It was a closed beta before, but it’s been available to everybody for a while now.

          There was also the version with Bing integration that they removed, which might be what you’re thinking of… but there are 100’s of other web search plugins available beyond Bing.
