Hahaha, I love this thing. I've used it to criticize my writings, help me with some gardening tips, talked to it about religion. It's just such a good bot.

I have no plans on engaging it anytime soon. What does it tell you about religion?
Precious little -- couched in tippy-toe non-confrontational language.
I would say it explains certain beliefs and aspects of religions I take in with better detail, and I can ask questions about the detail it just gave me and it can specify on things almost as well as another human can. I'm aware it isn't always accurate.
I used it for recipes for awhile. I find it helps in a pinch, but if you use it for too long, the recipes it creates start looking similar.
I have been thankful for it in helping me research topics that don't always have a lot of information available in English. It gets me what I need to know way beyond what a Google search can do.
I am well aware its a bot, though. Its responses are pretty mechanical.

Does it provide references? I use Bing AI and find it remarkably good overall, and it provides references when it makes a statement that is supposed to be factual.
I'm not sure. I've never thought to ask!
Maybe we should call them Virtual Intelligences instead of AI (this conjures AGI to most). Since this is really just a virtual simulation of conversing.
When I asked it for what sources it used for a question I asked, here's what it said:
I apologize for the confusion, but as an AI language model, I don't have direct access to external sources or the ability to browse the internet. The information I provide is based on my training data, which includes a wide range of sources such as books, articles, and websites.
If you require specific sources for information related to Japanese beetles or their control methods, I recommend consulting reputable gardening or agricultural resources, scientific publications, or reaching out to local agricultural extension services. These sources can provide you with more detailed and evidence-based information on the topic.
Yeah, I make sure not to fully trust any unsourced answers AI gives because I've read about how language models sometimes push out inaccurate information. I've also seen it happen first-hand when testing Bing AI with some math questions, although it has also solved many of those quite well.
The technology is certainly very handy, though. I've found it most useful for saving me time while looking up coding questions.
Ah, I see. Thanks. That looks quite concerning, actually, especially because a lot of people will trust what it says even without references. Hopefully its developers will work on that specific weakness and fix it at some point.
Interestingly; I just had GPT explain something to me, then I asked for details on a specific part of that information, it responded but contradicted itself in its own answer. I said "I think you contradicted yourself" and it apologized and corrected itself. It knew exactly where it contradicted itself too.
Another interesting thing is: The other day when it gave criticism to my writing, it responded in major detail in just one second. So it read my 10 page chapter and came up with a detailed response in one second. It even recognized "Julie" as the protagonist of the chapter. (One second is an exaggeration, but it was certainly under a minute)
