  • They are trained to give answers which sound convincing on a first glance, for simple questions in most fields that strongly correlates with the correct answer. So, asking something simple on a topic I have no clue has a high likelihood to yield the answer I’m looking for.

    The problem is, if I have no clue, the only way to know if I exceeded the “really simple” ralm is by trying the answer and failing, because chatgpt has no concept of verifying it’s own answers or identifying its own limitations, or even to “learn” from it’s mistakes, as such.

    I do know some very similar humans, though: Very assertive, selling guesses and opinions as facts, overestimating themselves, never backing down. ChatGPT might replace tech-CEOs or politicians 😁





  • I started my own instance and do currently not intend to open it for others (besides, maybe, close friends and family).

    My intention are

    • to learn more about the concepts
    • evaluate how reliable the replication of comments and posts works
    • maybe create my own pseudo-community just for myself, as kind of a simplified blog

    Reading other posts in this sub, I saw it is still seen as offloading the main servers, as the replication of the data is a low load compared to serving the UI. Maybe one of these motivations apply to you, too? Or you find another one? At the end of the day, host your own instance if you want to :-)
