lianna<p>Since everyone kept hailing <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/chatgpt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> version 5 as some kind of revolutionary update, I decided to test it again today.</p><p>I asked it to explain to me how I can use the natural gas resource to support my furniture industry in the city building and logistics game Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.</p><p>It gave me a wonderfully formatted, detailed list of buildings and production chains, and even offered to turn it into a chart or generate a factory blueprint.</p><p>Perfect - except that neither natural gas nor furniture are actually in the game. Both were often proposed by fans and have historical precedent in the USSR, but were never implemented. It hallucinated the natural gas industry by describing essentially the oil industry production chain. Furniture was entirely made up; it hallucinated a "furniture factory" turning boards into consumer goods.</p><p>Sure this was an unfair "trick", and I can't expect that game's guides to be in its training data. But really, a useful assistant tool should have told me that it has no information on the game's workings or said resources being in it.</p><p>But it didn't. And it can't. Because it's a word generator, not a search engine and not any kind of intelligence or thinking apparatus.</p><p><a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/workersandresources" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WorkersAndResources</span></a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/wrsr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WRSR</span></a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/game" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Game</span></a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/aihype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://micro.webgarden.click/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a></p>
