Sam Altman Cautions ChatGPT Users: Don’t Trust It Blindly

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned users not to blindly trust ChatGPT, noting that while powerful, the AI often "hallucinates" or produces false information. Speaking on OpenAI's podcast, he highlighted the need for transparency and urged caution, as users increasingly rely on ChatGPT for tasks like writing and research. AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton echoed similar concerns, admitting he sometimes trusts GPT-4 too much despite its flaws. A riddle test showed GPT-4's errors, underscoring its limitations. Both experts agree AI is useful but not infallible, stressing the importance of verifying its outputs as the technology becomes more integrated into daily life.
