Just laughing at the stupidity of the downvotes here. Yeah people shouldn’t use the tool that easily accesses large swaths of data from and about humans to figure out an optimal means of working out at the gym. Definitely should only listen to the few anecdotes shared by random people kind of paying attention on a relatively anonymous social board. 凸(¬‿¬)凸
Absolutely, try to get the user that already demonstrated an uncertainty with how their body works, to trust the bullshit engine that can’t understand when it is mashing counterfactual things together in the output. Definitely a chill solution with zero negligence or potential to harm.
I understand the desire to be helpful, but if you don’t actually know anything about a topic, don’t contribute.

Except chatGPT was trained in no small part on data from reddit, Twitter, etc - so asking chatGPT basically is listening to random anecdotes shared by random people, only with the added complication that if someone spews BS on here, they’re at least somewhat likely to be called out, whereas ChatGPT will just present it as the definitive truth
" if someone spews BS on here, they’re at least somewhat likely to be called out"
Great, and if someone is using the internet in 2023 and believes everything they read, the problem isn’t who or where they’re sourcing their information.
Garbage in, garbage out. The “math” doesn’t change that simple truism.
Also, the fact that chatGPT it’s prone to making shit up isn’t conjecture, it’s fact. It can be a super useful tool for some use cases, but getting medical advice? Yeah fuck no lol
“Garbage in, garbage out. The “math” doesn’t change that simple truism.”
Critical thinking and a tool hooked up to huge swathes of data that was curated to contain the least amount of garbage possible. I’m not trying to force anyone to use it, but you’re over here like “I would never use a recipe off the internet because other people can be wrong so anything I extract from other people can be wrong. Eating has to do with my health so, HOW COULD ANYONE EVER THINK THAT USING A RECIPE FROM THE INTERNET IS A GOOD IDEA!?!”
Like yeah, change is hard. Technology can be flawed. But if everyone disregarded the hammer because of worries about their health… we’d still be living amongst the trees.

I already addressed this above in this response and in my last comment, but if you believe everything on the internet… someone already pulled one over on you somewhere back down the line. If you don’t do your proper due diligence when researching something you’re going to make a mistake… They said not to cite Wikipedia in school papers… but Wikipedia cites where it gets it’s information from so you can go look it up yourself and no one ever had a problem using the sourced material it’s articles were constructed from.
I’m not trying to make people use it who don’t want to either, I don’t give a shit I don’t get paid for advertising by openai or anything like that. I use their tool and it works absurdly well. That’s all. Would I trust it’s face value responses more than a random person on the internet’s face value responses? No. I would look into whatever they suggested myself. Would chatgpt’s responses be more tailored to what I’m looking for, probably? Unless there was some weird pseudo twin of me out there that had nearly an identical body that just happened to be anonymously messaging on the same board I was on.
“but getting medical advice?”
Ah, talking about basic human physiology and biology that we’ve understood a lot about for several centuries and most people grasp the basics of from an elementary school level health course is now seeking medical advice. Pardon for expending so much effort responding. I didn’t realize you were just joking around.

I understand the need for you to insert your opinion and attempt to exert control over people but fuck off. ;)

“so asking chatGPT basically is listening”
No. I disagree. You’re minimizing the math.
