Reply to comment by Taxoro in ChatGPT or similar AI as a confidant for teenagers by demauroy

> You cannot trust any information or advice it gives you, hell you can convince it that 1+1=3

So, if you give it incorrect information, it provides you with incorrect information?

I am shocked, shocked, to be told that a computerized system operates on the principle of "Garbage in, garbage out".

Yes of course but you have no way of knowing if are getting trash or not unless if are critical of anything you get out.

For a child to get unchecked advice from an ai is ridiculous

All advice is unchecked. Learning to be critical of advice is a wonderful life lesson for children to learn.

The fact that you're calling it an 'AI' instead of 'sophisticated chat program' is the real issue here, honestly.

Sure but in this case OP wanted to use chatgpt as an adult adviser not as a resource to teach critical thinking

Almost everyone calls it AI. I know it's not really "intelligent", but I believe the term "narrow AI" is commonly used for these types of algorithms that only perform a single task.

Itll provide incorrect information even without prompting
