ChatGPT - don’t rely on it

[dspur]

Just to check accuracy and for kicks and giggles, I experimented with some fender tag info on ChatGPT. Most all of it was wrong. I suspect other AI platforms are as well.

Very useful for a lot of things, just not fender tag decoding on Mopars.

True for now. Chat GPT searches the internet. With little or no information available (or with conflicting information) it makes mistakes. As it gains better information, it gets smarter (every second)

Yep, i notice it gives me the wrong answer or questionable answers sometimes. Then i'll ask it, "are you sure that's correct" and it will come back and say "Yes, you are right, the answer i gave you before was wrong" or something like that.

I asked Co-Pilot .... similar tech ...

My understanding is it is also trained on data besides just searching, but the odds of the engineers thinking to include that kind of mopar data aren’t good. I’ve run into it with other things and sometimes filled its blind spots by uploading a doc with the details it’s missing.

This is my GO-TO guy >

Call me an old fart, but they can stick that AI crap. Throw it on the heap with Tic-Tok, Instagram and all that other bullshit.

AI is a tool. Stuff like Alpha Fold is very useful for specific tasks, but offloading your brain to AI completely like chatgpt is a recipe for disaster.

Human critical thinking is still required because AI at the moment relies on the information built into the models, and tends to get worse when it makes its own inferences. Think echo chamber. I don't think AI will ever replace the creativity and agency of a person but who knows what will come in the future.

Echo chamber is a good description. I've purposely created long term sessions (months at a time) in GPT and they all got worse over time until the last release or so. But now that some problems and loss of context went away it now takes a huge performance hit.

Either way its been a great tool for me, one that I can directly attribute to a couple of $10k bonuses even when I was transparent and told my job I used AI. It can also be a source of entertainment but I care more about how it can fill my pockets.

I have tried it few times for various things. One was helping me to do some minor coding to deal with a 3D printing program I use, I though this would be its bread and butter, but it took me about 4 or 5 tries before it got the right answer to my problem.

I tried using it not to long ago to look for a car audio amp that would fit my needs. What I noticed is that when it tries to give specific model number and stats, if it is for car audio, or other automotive part , it does a horrible job. Often giving me part numbers that don't even exist or specs that completely incorrect.

Sometime I will ask it to double check its answers, or I will just go a head and correct it. Some times it will try and give an excuse for its error other time , it justt admit its incorrect. It is an interesting program though

I've had a couple folks use AI to try and recreate the right codes for their tag, most of the time it throws stuff in that shouldn't be there, jumbles things up.

True. Honestly, I try not to teach my future taskmaster anything

I play around with ChatGPT a lot and I also have to help it out with corrections a lot.

That said, it's a great tool to get you headed in the right direction on most subjects and provides information that you would probably near even think of.

It just a tool and like any tool you have to learn how to use it for needs.

For programming stuff it almost always takes me several attempts and tweaks to get the end result I want. But I would take even longer trying to do it without GPT so still a net positive for me.
It also in my case did a pretty decent job helping me pick my path and parts to add a subwoofer to my Maverick Truck, steered me towards a Kicker Keyloc to use with an amp that was gifted to me. It also helped me figure out what wiring option I wanted to go with, but part of that is also the benefit of writing out a problem instead of keeping it in your head and then you see a solution.
