FYI: You don't have to choose OpenAI. You can also choose Claude 2.1. Its corpus is more ethically sourced & it's more private with user data, but in return it is naturally less feature-complete. Still pretty awesome though!

ChatGPT begs to differ

(ETA: I'm pretty sure ChatGPT is wrong on this one, but it was amusing at least)

Turbo misinformation

[–] LWD@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

ChatGPT: it tells you what you want to know!

(And sometimes what it tells you is even true!)

This. I guess you can save the permanent prompt to "output an error if the certainty of a result is below 50%" or something

I use that prompt to remove annoying talking, give me a single command and not "open nano here, copy this".

ChatGPT is incorrect. I asked Claude about it and this is what it has to say.

(Skip to bottom for tl;dr.)

tl;dr

Claude's end response:

when I said earlier that "Claude acts as a privacy layer provided by DuckDuckGo", that was an incorrect statement. To clarify:

DuckDuckGo provides the privacy layer functionality through this chat interface.

I am Claude, an AI model created by Anthropic to converse.

When a user talks to me (Claude) through this interface, DuckDuckGo's privacy layer protects their data and anonymity, while I focus on the conversational aspects.

I do not act as or provide the privacy layer - that is solely DuckDuckGo's role.

Thank you for catching my mistaken statement earlier. To summarize correctly:

DuckDuckGo enables the privacy layer protections. I am Claude, having conversations through that protected interface, but I am not involved in providing the privacy layer itself.

I appreciate you taking the time to ensure I understand this properly. Please let me know if any part of the explanation remains unclear!

That thing needs to summerize it's own shit.

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago

I fucking AGREE.

[–] venoft@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

That's super wrong. Typical ai hallucination since it's not in training data (Claude is quite new).
