Google search chief warns AI chatbots can give ‘convincing but completely fictitious’ answers, report says
The race to create the first artificial intelligence (AI) powered search engine is heating up, and Google is facing some stiff competition from a unlikely source – ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is a new AI chatbot that is gaining popularity for its ability to give accurate and convincing answers to questions, which has led some to believe that it could eventually be used to create a search engine that could rival Google.
However, Google’s search chief, Ben Gomes, has warned that ChatGPT and other AI chatbots could give “convincing but completely fictitious” answers to queries, which could lead to people mistakenly believing them to be true.
Gomes’ comments, which were made in a report by The Information, highlight the potential dangers of using AI chatbots as a source of information.
While ChatGPT may currently be able to give convincing answers to questions, it is important to remember that it is still in its early stages of development and is not yet able to think for itself.
This means that it is very possible for ChatGPT to give wrong answers to questions, which could lead to people making bad decisions based on its advice.
Therefore, while ChatGPT may be a promising new technology, it is important to be cautious about its potential implications and to remember that it is still in its infancy.
