Anthony Tordillos (turing@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Dec-2022 11:18:28 JST Anthony Tordillos @Gargron I disagree.

John Samuel (jsamwrites@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Dec-2022 21:42:04 JST John Samuel @Gargron For some queries, I ask #ChatGPT for references to be completely sure of the results. I feel that this should be the default feature. But then large language models do not work that way.
