Reply to comment by devi83 in Did Isaac Asimov predict GPT-4? by theglandcanyon

I also posted this question on r/asimov, and one of the comments indicated that it had been generated by ChatGPT. That answer included a plot description of a different short story by Asimov that had been embelleshed to include the stuff about predicting Shakespeare's next word.

Is that where you got the plot description you posted?

Yeah, that interesting, I wonder why GPT gave such false answers about it, I asked it two different times and got two different answers. It makes me worry about how much more misinformation is being spread because of GPTs confidentially wrong answers.

That might not be as serious a concern as it seems. One of the findings of the Microsoft team who just posted their paper about GPT-4 having "sparks" of AGI was that you could ask GPT-4 what the probability was of the correctness of each of its answers, and it gave very accurate answers. In other words, it knows when it doesn't know something and it will tell you that if you ask it.
