And so I'm like, well, that's really not good.
Like I wanted to explore a thought process I was in.
I thought, first I thought, how do I Google?
And it's like, well, it's kind of a hard thing to Google because unless somebody has written about this specific topic, it's, you know, it's a large language model.
It's processed all this data.
It can probably piece that together for me, but it just can't yet.
So I think, I hope that,
chat GPT-5, 6, 7, you know, 3 to 5 years, I'm hoping we'll see a much higher, you know, level of accuracy where when you ask a question like that, I think instead of being quite so
eager to please by giving you a plausible sounding answer.
It's just like, don't know.
Well, it's one of the things I've said for a long time.
So in Wikipedia, one of the great things we do may not be great for our reputation, except in a deeper sense for the long term, I think it is.
But, you know, we'll all be a notice that says,
the neutrality of this section has been disputed or the following section doesn't cite any sources.
And I always joke, you know, sometimes I wish the New York Times would run a banner saying the neutrality of this has been disputed.
They could give us, we had a big fight in the newsroom as to whether to run this or not.
But we thought it's important enough to bring it to you, but just be aware that not all the journalists are on board with it.
Ah, that's actually interesting, and that's fine.
I would trust them more for that level of transparency.
