Making fun of ChatGPT because it can't count

Not bashing on this amazing technology. Just a doulbe-check on what aspires to bear the title of "inteligent"

I always say that people should treat GPTs the same way we're taught to use Wikipedia. Find what you're looking for, and then verify that it is correct.

It is not difficult to use a search engine to verify any claims that are new to you. The replies will always be constructed. And sometimes they'll even be correct.

Michael Cohen fell into a trap by not verifying legal cases that Bard was citing. They didn't exist, and he would have known that if he verified by searching the way lawyers normally do to verify these things. I'm sure his lawyer didn't verify, assuming that Cohen, as a fellow lawyer, would have done so before handing the info to him.

I’m actually sort of impressed it recognized its mistakes and was able to do some rudimentary math at all.

Lots of 5 year olds display superior cognitive ability.

The sooner people realize LLMs do not have cognition, the better.
