It can be confidently incorrect. It does appear to get slowly better. I asked it last week what some good stating words would be for WORDLE. It gave me about 5 paragraphs describing Scrabble including letter scores and bonus squares but no list of starting words. I just now asked it the same thing and it gave a shorter description of WORDLE that was correct but then provided a list of words that ranged from 3 to 8 letters long.

I’m a dev and used it to generate some code snippets. It does great with a decent prompt and good back and forth, but at one point it started making stuff up that didn’t exist

Specifically, It was very confident in describing square space plugins that didn’t actually exist. Describing them and even giving instructions on using them despite no actual “Table2Link” or “DataLink” plugins actually existing. It was so convincing I spent a good couple minutes googling and trying to find them

I would imagine those squarespace plugins might have existed in the past, as they stopped supporting many plug-ins in like 2016.

That’s quite possible. One of the disclaimers is that it doesn’t know about things after 2021. I couldn’t fine a second single result though so I do think it just made things up

I asked the AI when it’s information cutoff was and it replied with this:

“My knowledge cutoff is September 2021. I am not able to browse the internet or access any information beyond that point, so I am unable to provide current information or updates. Is there something specific you would like to know about?”

Since wordle wasn’t really a thing until October of 2021 that adds up

That is fine, the problem is it gave an answer anyway without giving any indication at all that it did not know anything about Wordle.
