So, what, did ChatGPT just rip this off wikipedia?

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I have no doubt that the majority of LLM models have trained on Wikipedia articles

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

Yes. If you check the other top Google results you'll frequently find the articles they plagiarized.

I do have a custom instruction to use Wikipedia as a source where possible.

The difference is i dont need to know what i am looking for i can just ask some a basic question.

Llms are limited and for that reason vey hated on lemmy but they can be very useful when configured right.

Bro...

Just link the Wikipedia.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That requires knowing the names of the pages i need which is practically never the case.

If i have plenty of time to do a deepdive sure but here i wanted a quick fact of the day kinda thing.
