Mr Young will soon discover that the more umbrellas people buy in a city, the more it will rain there. Let's blame umbrella manufacturers for the rain.
Some people are stupid; some are both execrable and stupid, not a good combination.

Today I asked ChatGPT about the topic I wrote my PhD about. It produced reasonably sounding explanations and reasonably looking citations. So far so good – until I fact-checked the citations. And things got spooky when I asked about a physical phenomenon that doesn’t exist.
I cannot forget a quote I read once: that democracy relies on the society to have a shared basis of facts. If we cannot agree on the facts, how are we to make decisions and policies together? It is already difficult now to do so. And the worst misinformation is yet to come.
We will be fed with hallucinations indistinguishable from the truth, written without grammar mistakes, supported by hallucinated evidence, passing all first critical checks. With similar models available, how will we be able to distinguish a real pop-sci article from a fake one?
The moral of the story: do not, do NOT, ask ChatGPT to provide you a factual, scientific information. It will produce an incredibly plausibly sounding hallucination. And even a qualified expert will have troubles pinpointing what is wrong.

I've always loved the adage, "Die young as old as possible." That came to mind as I was listening to the latest album by blues legend, John Mayall. At 88 years old, John is still rocking the house. I hope the same will be true for all of us one day!
