I have found that to be usually the case. Sometimes it's possible to talk an AI out of a hallucination. But sometimes they will double down on it. It's also been my experience that when using AI, it's usually a good idea to already be knowledegeable about the subject that you're asking it about. The quality of responses from AI, in part, depends on how well crafted the prompts that you are submitting to it. I suspect that that's where a lot of high school and college students get into trouble when they use AI to write papers for them. They don't know enough to know whether the AI is providing them with quality answers or not. And they don't know enough to be able to craft good prompts for the AI. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
