It "learns" only in the context of your session. You close the window, it's gone.

ChatGPT like the other GPT models is pretrained, all conversations happen after training and will not flow black into the corpus by default.

What makes it any better then Wikipedia? I know its smarter but it comes down to who puts in the information.

I thought the same thing - It's response seemed to be the very definition of Wikipedia, basically user-input data delivered as fact.

It isn't better than Wikipedia. It is trained on Wikipedia among many other sources, but it does not retain the full corpus.

Its output is not guaranteed to be correct and it can be coerced into making up and stating with authority completely made up "facts," including made up sources.

ChatGPT learns language, not facts. It learns to respond to certain input stimuli like certain questions with certain outputs. It does not learn the meaning of any of it, and it will not know right from wrong beyond pure semantics.

Treat it as a surfacing tool, not as a source of knowledge.

all depends on who is feeding it. Let us not even talk about "singularity" I do not embrace things so casual. We have had a.i in the past and tyhat did not go the way they intended. I trust a dog over a computer

Kinda gettin the "this is your new god" vibes from all this. Do not ask God, just talk to your pile of plastic and circuits.

I feel this Quantum computer communicating?

It is a very sophisticated chat bot. There is nothing quantum about it.
