    The University Library reports that they are having an increasing number of requests for books that they are not able to find in any book catalog. Upon closer investigation, it is revealed that the students making these requests got them from ChatGPT when asking for good information sources on some subject. ChatGPT made up references to books written by well known and highly respected authors, looking so credible that even skilled librarians were fooled to think that the authors and books actually existed. For one non-existing poet, ChatGPT even presented one of the poems from a book identified by author, book title, year and place of punblishing. The newspaper story telling about this is in Norwegian, and anyway, I don't think the website is available outside Norway.

      Someone or something is feeding corrupted information into ChatGPT at its data collection phase. Time to investigate ChatGPT source.

        I was searching for this paper: "Finding the Area of a Curved Straight Line, using the Pythagoras Theorem", by Albert Newton Washington. Please let me know if you find it.

              As per ChatGTP, it is still on order and should arrive soon. You will find it under Archimedes Edison. ;P

                      I can't read it, but the URL is accesible for me. Maybe I can ask ChatGPT to traduce it for me? :rolleyes: :-D

                      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                        If you use Chrome as your browser, it will translate it for you (does a pretty good job, in my experience)

                        Paul Sanders. If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter - Blaise Pascal. Some of my best work is in the undo buffer.

                            the AI adventure may be fun, but it's going to end ugly those that put *class* in JavaScript are the same that put *var* in C# - I against I

                                Thank you! Turns out all I had to do was ask ChatGPT to create an article with citations and it happily generated citations that don't exist, or exist but the titles and journals are mixed up. It's interesting that we've gone from not expecting much from AI to it being news that it got something wrong. The balance in expectations has flipped so dramatically.
