ChatGPT. Wednesday 15th March, 2023

Like many others, I have been exploring the new and improved ChatGPT. This response was unexpected. To check that the LLM was not hallucinating, I ran a couple of quick Google queries:

Scientists discover new species of monkey in Amazon rainforest” – National Geographic (March 15, 2023

Nope: “It looks like there aren’t many great matches for your search”

“Stocks rise on positive economic data and company earnings reports” – CNN Business (March 15, 2023)

Nope: No results found for “Stocks rise on positive economic data and company earnings reports” – CNN Business (March 15, 2023).

(and it looks like stocks actually fell)

“World leaders gather for climate summit in Paris” – BBC News (March 14, 2023)

Nope: No results found for “World leaders gather for climate summit in Paris” – BBC News (March 14, 2023).

“NASA launches new mission to study Jupiter’s moons” – Space.com (March 12, 2023)

Nope: No results found for “NASA launches new mission to study Jupiter’s moons” – Space.com (March 12, 2023).

However, The Guardian reports that the “European Space Agency’s Juice probe launches next month, flying closer to icy moons – including Ganymede, the solar system’s largest – than ever before.” So this was a good guess.

Nope: No results found for “Apple announces new iPhone with advanced AI features” – The Verge (March 10, 2023).

However, The Verge happily reports that a there is a new yellow iPhone.
