You know it always makes up the citations, right?

I asked Chat GPT about a seminal paper in a niche area (rare genetic disease), and it got the citation right. I think the key is that it has to be a paper that's discussed in the training data.

FYI, chat gpt doesn’t actually work like you think it does. It will write something that looks right, but it just makes it up. Look at the references it is citing for the statements and you will see that it is really hit or miss in terms of facts

Good catch. Ref 1 is acne... I don't have the chat4, but I've seen YT's that say it is much better. I deleted the comment.

I replied to your comment before you deleted (on my side). All 3 references were garbage (1 was incorrect and irrelevant, 2 were fake), and most of the statements it made were unsupported.

Thanks for the feedback. I hope the next version is accurate, as I do like the format. I have been using it to write code in R, and it has been doing really well. So, this is an eye-opener.
