My first thought upon hearing about Microsoft deploying a GPT derivative was (as I told a few others in private chat) “I guess they must have fixed the ‘making up facts’ problem.” My thinking was that a big corporation like Microsoft that mostly sells to businesses would want to maintain a reputation for only deploying reliable products. I honestly don’t know how to adjust my model of the world to account for whatever happened here… except to be generically more pessimistic?
