Asking facts from a generative AI is folly.

Yes, people really need to know that unless you are using the browser plugin, you really shouldn't ask it questions like this. (A good rule of thumb I think is if you can't expect a random person on the street to get the question right without looking it up, you shouldn't expect GPT-4 to get it right either.)

Unfortunately for this question, even using the browser plugin it wasn't able to get the answer: https://chat.openai.com/share/6344f09e-4ba0-45c7-b455-7be59d...

Even worse is all of the "GPT Influencers" and their "Here's what ChatGPT predicts will be the price of Bitcoin/some stock/houses will be this time next year" clickbait. It's a language model, people.

Please tell me that you're making this up about there being GPT "influencers".

Have you been to Twitter in the last 6 months? It's basically a GPT/Midjourney/Stable Diffusion hype generator. Everybody there is now an expert on this topic. And you can be too!

Step 1: Tweet fake troll screenshots of GPT output or make corny threads like "90% of people are using AI wrong, here's..."

Step 2: Let the "For you" algo take hold

Step 3: Profit

If you bought NVDA stock at ChatGPT launch you would be super rich today. Not what the GPT influencers would tell you, though.
