Reply to comment by Baprr in I asked GPT-4 to compile a timeline on when which human tasks (not jobs) have been/will be replaced by AI or robots, plus one sentence reasoning each - it runs from 1959 to 2033. In a second post it lists which tasks it assumes will NOT be replaced by 2050, and why. (Remember it's cut-off 2021.) by marcandreewolf

It is not lying (it even cannot lie, unless it would be conscious 😅), but it is sometimes grabbing the wrong info, especially if repeated often online (by humans), or just halucinates nonsense. So: yes and no 😁

It's just wrong instead of lying then. I mean, if you can't trust it to write the very easy to look up history of automation - why would you believe it's predictions? This info is pretty much useless.

I think it is not useless, it might represent average dates when people wrote/predicted somewhere publicly this and that might happen.

Not really. If you read what people predicted in the past about 2023, you might believe that we already have colonies in space, fully autonomous self driving cars, and cure for cancer. You have to filter the output of the chatbot, or it's - well, not gibberish, but extremely suspect information. It doesn't check or provide sources.

This list might be used to look up current projects that are being developed, and with some effort be turned into maybe 20 points of exciting things to look forward to.

But right now it's low effort useless content.
