Just laughing at the stupidity of the downvotes here. Yeah people shouldn't use the tool that easily accesses large swaths of data from and about humans to figure out an optimal means of working out at the gym. Definitely should only listen to the few anecdotes shared by random people kind of paying attention on a relatively anonymous social board. 凸(¬‿¬)凸
Except chatGPT was trained in no small part on data from reddit, Twitter, etc - so asking chatGPT basically is listening to random anecdotes shared by random people, only with the added complication that if someone spews BS on here, they're at least somewhat likely to be called out, whereas ChatGPT will just present it as the definitive truth
"so asking chatGPT basically is listening"
No. I disagree. You're minimizing the math.
" if someone spews BS on here, they’re at least somewhat likely to be called out"
Great, and if someone is using the internet in 2023 and believes everything they read, the problem isn't who or where they're sourcing their information.
Garbage in, garbage out. The "math" doesn't change that simple truism.
Also, the fact that chatGPT it's prone to making shit up isn't conjecture, it's fact. It can be a super useful tool for some use cases, but getting medical advice? Yeah fuck no lol
Absolutely, try to get the user that already demonstrated an uncertainty with how their body works, to trust the bullshit engine that can't understand when it is mashing counterfactual things together in the output. Definitely a chill solution with zero negligence or potential to harm.
I understand the desire to be helpful, but if you don't actually know anything about a topic, don't contribute.
I understand the need for you to insert your opinion and attempt to exert control over people but fuck off. ;)
