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

Nice gonna go edit myself into every important essay in history

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

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

Maybe you’re talking about this essay? One of my favorites: http://paulgraham.com/vb.html https://i.imgur.com/DBUGu2k.jpg

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?

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

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

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.

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
