And yet the moment they do that some lawyer submits a bunch of hallucinations to a court and they get in the news.

Also, no, they don't want it outputting direct scam bullshit without a disclaimer or at least some clean up effort on the scammers part.

Does that have to be at the beginning of every answer though? Maybe this could be solved with an education section and a disclaimer when you sign up that makes clear that this isn't a search engine or Wikipedia, but a fancy text autocompleter.

I also wonder if there is any hope for anyone as careless as the lawyer who didn't confirm the cited precedence.

You mean like the "Limitations" disclaimer that has been prominently displayed on the front page of the app, which says:

- May occasionally generate incorrect information

- May occasionally produce harmful instructions or biased content

- Limited knowledge of world and events after 2021

Imagine how many tokens we are wasting putting the disclaimer inline instead of being put to productive use. Using a non-LLM approach to showing the disclaimer seems really worthwhile.

I’ve seen here on HN that such a disclaimer would not be enough. And even the blurb they put in the beginning of the reply isn’t enough.

If the HN crowd gets mad that GOT produces incorrect answers, think how lay people might react.

Since there's about a million startups that are building vaguely different proxy wrappers around ChatGPT for their seed round, the CYA bit would have to be in the text to be as robust as possible.

That's the lawyer's problem, that shouldn't make it OpenAI's problem or that of its other users. If we want to pretend that adults can make responsible decisions then we should treat them so and accept that there'll be a non-zero failure rate that comes with that freedom.
