Don’t use ChatGPT to solve problems (opens in new tab)

> "In an experiment, I asked 40 questions about PostgreSQL. 23 came back with misleading or simply inaccurate information. Of those, 9 came back with answers that would have caused (at best) performance issues. One of the answers could result in a corrupted database (deleting WAL files to recover disk space)."

I am curious if these tests could be written down and also tested with some versions of GPT (2, 3, 3.5, 4) not because I think they will solve it but to see some trend, and to have a new benchmark if we see 4.5 or 5. Or maybe even test with the 'Code Interpreter' plugin.

Funny, you could say the same about people too, including experts who have misaligned incentives.

If you aren't showing the prompts and outputs and documenting the model version, you aren't saying anything meaningful.
