Why does ChatGPT lie? And why can’t this be fixed easily?

764 views

I’ve tried asking it to write arguments and support them but the references are fake. It apologizes when confronted but does it over and over again even when I ask it not to provide fake references.

ChatGPT is not a general intelligence. For example, Jarvis in Ironman. We’re decades away.

It is a large language model. It collects and studies which words usually show up with one another and use statistics to predict the words that should come after the ones you provide. In other words, it’s similar to a fortune teller who uses your words and verbal languages to pretend to have psychic power.

If you give it common words that the internet likes to lie and joke about, it’ll give you cringy answers that people share on tiktok.
