One thing I’ve noticed, is that at least in the free version, if you ask chatGPT for sources outside itself, ‘can you give me a link to somewhere on it internet where it says that?’, it won’t do that.

It is very much a black box in terms of letting you track its logic.

Seems like future versions should be much more transparent in terms of letting you track the logic of why it’s telling you what it’s telling you.

You can just ask it "What scholars or source material books could I check out to verify these linguistics facts?".

Many facts and answers are gathered/aggregated from many different (sometimes conflicting) sources. It won't link the internet page where it found the information, because it didn't find the information on a single internet page.

At on point I asked it for academic papers that said a particular thing, as best I can tell, only about 60% of the papers it cited actually existed

They trained on copyrighted material and scraped stuff they shouldn't have.

That's why they "cant" show sources.

Brave AI search engine gives you various sources if you want to dig deeper.
