Just your daily reminder to not trust or at the very least, fact check whatever chatgpt spews out because not only does it blatantly lie, but it also makes stuff way more than youd want to believe.
(btw batrapeton doesnt exist and is a fictional genus of jurassic amphibians that I made up for a story that I am writing. They never existed in any way shape or form and neither is there any trace of info about them online yet here we are with chatgpt going "trust me bro" about them lol)
Someone here said that LLM chatbots are always "hallucinating" and it stuck with me. They happen to be correct a lot of the time but they are always making stuff up. That's what they do that's how they work.
They pin values to data and use a bit of magical stats to decide if two values are related in anyway and are relevant to what was asked. Then it fluffs the data up with a bit of natural language, and there you go.
It's the same algorithms that decide if you want to see an advert about dog food influencers or catalytic converters in your area.
