From a live tweet of the proceedings around the lawyer caught using ChatGPT:
"I thought ChatGPT was a search engine".
It is NOT a search engine. Nor, by the way are the version of it included in Bing or Google's Bard.
Language model-driven chatbots are not suitable for information access.

1. Screencap of tweet by @innercitypress@twitter.com "Judge Castel: Did you ask Chat GPT what the law was, or only for a case to support you? It wrote a case for you. Do you cite cases without reading them? Schwartz: No. Judge Castel: What caused your departure here? Schwartz: I thought Chat GPT was a search engine"

1. Text reading: Mitigating the risk of extinction from capitalism should be a priority alongside other societal-scale disasters such as climate change and white supremacy.

1. Screencap (Spanish): "Una de las posibilidades más comentadas para estos modelos de texto es si reemplazarán a los buscadores. Microsoft, con Bing, ya lo está intentando. Los diversos cambios que han ido aplicando a su modelo desde que salió es prueba de sus dificultades. Bender quiere compararlo con un “vertido de petróleo”: “Esa es una metáfora que espero que persista. Uno de los daños con estas máquinas de síntesis de texto configuradas como si pudieran responder a preguntas es que van a colocar no-información en nuestro ecosistema de información de manera que será difícil de detectar. Eso se parece a un vertido de petróleo: será difícil de limpiar. Cuando las empresas hablan de cómo están progresando constantemente y mejorando su precisión, es como cuando BP o Exxon dicen: ‘Miren cuántas aves salvamos del petróleo que derramamos sobre ellas”."

Folks, I encourage you to not work for @OpenAI for free:
Don't do their testing
Don't do their PR
Don't provide them training data
