ChatGPT isn’t sentient (thank goodness). It can’t think for itself, no matter how convincing it might be at pretending like it can. Everything that it generates is pulled from what actual humans have written. That means it’s terrible at coming up with original ideas. The best-case scenario is that it manages to string words together in a way that seems like a new idea, but that doesn’t mean it is one. Often, ChatGPT’s “original ideas” fall into one of two camps. The first camp is for ideas that aren’t new at all and are ripped straight from elsewhere on the Internet. Here’s an example:
Sending out emails on the anniversary of a customer’ Job Function Email List
purchase? Wow, what a great, completely original idea, ChatGPT! Except for one thing: Hm. Would you look at that. It’s already right there on page one of Google. Not so original, then. The second camp of “original ideas” from ChatGPT consists of ideas that technically are original — but only because they make no sense. Case in point: Ah, yes. A “fully functional” Lego time machine. technology to build and sell to children. I can’t believe no one has come up with this before. In short, if you’re looking for fresh, original ideas, maybe stick to human ingenuity instead of trying to weed through a bunch of ChatGPT fails.
5. Falsifying sources Sometimes, you might use ChatGPT for research on something that requires you to cite your sources. You can’t very well cite ChatGPT, so you simply ask ChatGPT to cite some sources for you so you know where it got its information from. Sounds simple enough. But here’s the thing — ChatGPT doesn’t give a dime about whatever the heck “ethical research” is. So, if you ask it for sources, it’ll just make some up.
