Congratulations to your group! I asked someone on a gardening group not to "search ChatGPT" and post the results since it's not a search engine, and a Volvo full of Karens piled on me for "bullying" and "hating."

Right. So often people treat chatgtp like it gives you a vetted search rather than understanding that it isn’t capable of vetting anything.

The big issue in these groups was translations from languages with different alphabets. It could recognize that something is a Russian birth record from the 19th century, but then the “translation” would just be random Russian names and dates from the roughly right time period.

Hebrew gravestones use an old system where letters are used for writing numbers, so dates are written as a string of letters that don’t actually spell words. It always just gives a completely random sentence for those lines.

Older bad translations would give gibberish for the dates, so people at least realized there was something wrong. ChatGPT makes it look plausible.
