Reply to comment by 0pimo in OpenAI executives say releasing ChatGPT for public use was a last resort after running into multiple hurdles — and they're shocked by its popularity by steviaplath153
They all do. Meta, Google (Deepmind), and many others have created similar large language models, they just haven’t built them with a chat interface for the public to play with because they aren’t very useful yet.
You might think ChatGPT is useful but keep in mind that it will create false info when asked including fake references. There was examples of people getting it to do a mathematical proof that 2+2=5.

I just tested the 2+2=5 thing and it has since been corrected. But that led me down a rabbit hole of trying other tests. I asked it the thing about a plane taking off on a long treadmill that constantly matches the wheel speed of the plane. It got it wrong the first time but when I pressed it on why the treadmill would matter (without telling it my answer), it corrected itself and said it was previously mistaken.
No real point other than kind of interesting.

Yeah it’s interesting but also dangerous.
Imagine asking something like “how to make home made fertilizer” and then having to ask follow up questions to confirm it isn’t actually poison.
That’s generally not worry with standard search engines like google.
