why do models like ChatGPT forget things during conversations or make things up that are not true?
In: 803
Though im sure tech gurus will disagree, so-called AI models like ChatG and other’s do not display intelligence. Rather, they could be best thought as highly sophisticated pattern recognition filters and pattern predictors. Put simply, through processes of “machine learning” these programs have been given access to terabytes upon terabytes of data. The machine then finds patterns to predict the outcome of a query (question) or conversation (still a question to the machine itself) with varying degrees of success.
Now, as some commenters have crucially pointed out, it does not assign meaning to this data. It cannot disern what an apple IS. It doesn’t know what you MEAN whan you ask it “why is the sky blue”. Instead, the machine is looking back on poems, history books, chemistry books, for every association on the words “sky” and “blue” and seeing what’s the likeliest answer. Not necessarily even the correct answer, just the likeliest. Those two things are not exclusive (obviously).
