    Chat gpt said things you can evaluate, which i did by googling it. And when i could not find the event in question, i went back into Lemmy and asked for more information. So tell me where i err’d? Was it not taking the posters word on it? Or trying to get context in the first place?

      You err’d fucked-up twice.

      Once when you flat out failed to find anything using Google, when other people clearly had no trouble at all. If you’re telling the truth, this just means you suck at Google. There’s no reason to be googling chatgpt’s hallucinations instead of searching for the stuff an actual human told you about.

      The second time was when you took chatgpt seriously. Just don’t. It’s a very expensive toy that occasionally does something cool. We’re still trying to figure out if it’s actually useful for anything, or if it’s just really good at appearing useful.

        Ok, one: chill the fuck out

        Two: when google did not return anything useful, for WHATEVER REASON, i didn’t come back and assume the event didn’t happen, i asked for MORE info, like a good little netizen.

        Three: the event chat gpt referenced was NOT a hallucination: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2002/10/paul-wellstone-s-memorial-service-turns-into-a-pep-rally.html Surprise! When i looked up Paul Wellstone and filming at a memorial , this is the event i found for the first page.

        Four: me bringing up chat gpt was due to just how uncharacteristic it shut down my query. So i did my due diligence. Chill out.

          It’s very clear that you “attempted” to call the original commenter out for false information, just ‘subtly’ in case you were wrong, and got called out yourself for it.

          Your defensiveness is just making it more clear. That’s why you’re getting down voted.

            Incorrect. I don’t know Paul Wellstone. But the poster brought up that trump had a Paul Wellstone event. So i wanted to know what happened. Instead of attempting to fabricate meaning that isn’t there, how about not flying off the handle. I am defensive because to an earnest question i was instantly down voted. I even brought up an event that was close to what was talked about and asked if there was another he was talking about.
