I just had my first super uncanny GPT interaction 😩

I read a PG essay once about focusing w kids. I thought it had a Sam Altman reference. I couldn’t find it on PG’s site, Google, or way back so I checked GPT. 

Immediate response, no doubt, but no record anywhere is it real?? https://i.imgur.com/clJasqD.jpg

That’s what I found out after more deep googling

I can’t tell if I hallucinated the entire article (which I still can’t seem to find), hallucinated the Sam Altman bit (I feel like I’d have found the article by now tbh if this was it), or if Sam/PG colluded to scrub the internet of Sam’s illicit children 🤯

Not sure if Sam Altman has kids. I think gpt made it up given the prompt

Hmm. I can’t remember if I ran this through 3.5 or 4. I’ll re run later and let you know

GPT 3.5 lies a lot. If you can get Plus, GPT 4 is less combative.

It made it up? So weird. You should ask PG on Twitter.

Damn - it really confirmed my biases hard

It made it up. Always does when it has no idea

Be specific.

I know right? I dug through myself to try and find it too

Pg doesn't have an essay with that title or any content on His site with the quoted citatio

You may be remembering a Twitter debate that made the rounds a few months ago on this topic.

Instead of searching his essays, use Twitter advanced search to try and find the parent tweet from PG

Neither of those I think - but that Sam Altman one was awesome. Thank you for sharing!

Couldnt find that specific PG article, maybe was one of these?

I hadn’t seen this before - thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s it 😩

Just tried another similar prompt, except that i made up the person and attribute - got a hallucination.  (The essay is real but it doesn't mention Sergey Brin) https://i.imgur.com/qLsMTE8.png
