I tried... I pointed out a problem and asked ChatGPT to fix it, unsuccessfully. I asked it for a proof of correctness, then pointed out a problem in its proof and asked ChatGPT to fix it, again unsuccessfully. (It's all in the notes I linked to.) Perhaps I'm just crummy at prompt engineering; or perhaps this is one of those questions where the only way to engineer a successful prompt is to know the answer yourself beforehand.
- MaxMatti 4y agoI've also had this issue multiple times where ChatGPT provides a flawed answer, is able to identify the flaw when asked but "corrects" it in such a way that the original answer is not changed. I've tried this for code it wrote, for comments on my code and for summaries of texts that I provided.

- wprl 4y agoI can’t tell if people just don’t understand how ChatGPT works or if there is another reason they are eager to dehumanize themselves and the rest of us along with them.
- danuker 4y agoI am aware no learning is going on live during the discussion with ChatGPT, nor are the mechanisms that lead to the similar outcome even remotely similar. I also don't think humans are less human just because machines started making mistakes similar to human ones. But I do see this similarity as a reminder that machines are becoming more human in an accelerating way.
