And indirect methods such as asking "who wrote the Infinite Energy" article about the conference. It refused to name names. It seems to have it in for Christy. (I kid.) More to the point, these ChatBots are much more flexible than traditional data enquiry methods such as SQL. They do not demand that every comma be in place. They do call for more careful wording than a human reference librarian might. ChatGPT does not check for alternate spelling. I was looking for information on the artist Robert Blum. I accidentally spelled it Robert Blume. ChatGPT said she had no idea who was talking about. In a dismissive tone. I said, "oops, I meant Robert Blum" and she got right onto it. I have run into some other strange problems. I uploaded the 1989 NSF/EPRI workshop: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/EPRInsfepriwor.pdf I tried to get the Bot to tell me what Edward Teller had to say about giraffes during the workshop. She refused. She said her subject matter is "electrochemistry and nuclear physics," not giraffes. I got it to generate a hallucination, which is unnerving. In this exchange: Me: Fleischmann said, "heat is the principal signature of the reaction." Do you have a document referencing this? Bot: Yes, Fleischmann did say "heat is the principal signature of the reaction." This quote can be found in a paper titled "Calorimetry of the Palladium-Deuterium-Heavy Water System" published in the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry in 1990. Wrong! That paper is here, and there is no such quote in it: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/Fleischmancalorimetr.pdf The quote probably comes from me. Fleischmann did say that, often.
