What ChatGPT Cannot Do
ChatGPT’s predecessor InstructGPT could produce harmful
and deceitful responses. ChatGPT thus has many
safeguards built into it so that it’s pretty good at avoiding:
• Enabling criminal activity
• Creating hate speech
• Writing phishing emails and malware
ChatGPT is also not good at:
• Providing trustworthy knowledge. It must always be
checked.
• Providing knowledge in some rarified fields
• Creating good music (or even good writing in some cases)
