    It worked for school stuff well, I always added "prioritize factual sources with .edu " or something like that. Specify that it is for a research paper and tell it to look for stuff how you would.

      Only time I told it to be factual was looking at 4k laptops, it gave me 5 laptops, 4 marked as 4k, 0 of the 5 were actually 4k.

      That was last year though so maybe it’s improved by now

          Ive also tried using it for old games but at the time it said wailord was the heaviest Pokemon (the blimp whale in fact does not weigh more than the sky scraper).

              I don’t put effort in a 30 line question with a ton of specific stuff. I just ask it a question.

              What is the heaviest Pokemon?

              That’s it. And then it goes and finds a Pokemon that isn’t the heaviest now, and at no point in the series was it ever the heaviest.

              If I need multiple lines and clarification and stuff, that makes it worse than just finding it myself.

              Btw heaviest Pokemon is a many way tie as the weights don’t go over 999.9kg.

                The heaviest Pokémon according to the Pokédex is Celesteela, which weighs 2204.4 lbs (999.9 kg). It’s an Ultra Beast introduced in Pokémon Sun & Moon and resembles a massive rocket.

                Interestingly, the Pokédex caps weights at 999.9 kg, so Celesteela might not even be its true maximum weight!

                Like the way you asked it is conversational, so it responded like any random person would, but if you ask for it to base it on something real itll check against that

                  Because that’s double the sentence to type for a question. It’s on my search thing that is meant to be for facts. I type the minimum sentence and the normal search works perfectly fine as it always has.

                  Celesteela is tied first with cosmoem apparently. Searching for a list of heaviest Pokemon (typed heaviest Pokemon list) got gpt bing to respond with a list of Pokemon that are not the heaviest. Was looking for the actual list on a site, which the top link was but the AI ignored the top results of the search and spit out exclusively wrong answers.

                Asking it the way you asked opens the way for opinions from internet comments everywhere, and its not necesarily wrong since itd be subjective

                    Ais cooked it cant even figure out what the heaviest pokemon is, is there even a reliable factual source on that on the internet its not gonna yell you no or accept that there is no answe, it cant think itll give you an answer no matter what, thats how ai hallucination works, use the tool correctly for the correct things and it works fine, use it for pointless stuff and itll be pointless

              I just asked it what the heaviest Pokemon was, and it said wailord. I dont care about what it uses as a source as long as it’s right.

                  It’s still wrong and it even has the information in its own chat to know it is wrong. It’s literally contradicting itself.

                    Use a tool wrong and its useless, use it correctly and save some time, or complain that it isnt perfect and cant do everything for you, idc either way, I used it, worked for me, I got good grades, graduated with my degree and still use ai when I need it time to time, never been an issue, if you expect it to be your guide to fiction, good luck

            again not a usecase id use it for, its basically a better search engine that summarizes and skips through the ads and bs on the front page
