Tell HN: ChatGPT Generates Fake Resources

5 points by kretaceous 3 years ago

After playing with it for a while and asking it recipes, programming questions, English questions etc., I thought of taking help for my assignment.

I asked this:

-----

    I have to do a literature review for the topic: "Comparing the climatic and economic effects of nuclear fusion and fission".

    Can you provide some resources?

The response:

    Sure, here are some resources that may be helpful for a literature review on the topic of "Comparing the climatic and economic effects of nuclear fusion and fission":

    • "Nuclear Fusion and Fission: A Comparison" by J. L. Kamm, published in the journal Physics Today (https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.858505)
    • "Economic and environmental implications of nuclear fission and fusion" by G. Pasqualetti, R. Costantini, and A. Sciubba, published in the journal Energy Policy (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/030142159500087E)
    • "Comparing the economics of nuclear fusion and fission" by J. R. Brown, published in the journal Fusion Engineering and Design (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0920374096001353)
    • "Environmental impacts of fusion and fission" by S. J. Hodge, published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/es702215a)
    • "Comparing the potential of nuclear fusion and fission for electricity generation" by A. M. McDonald and P. J. Tawse, published in the journal Energy Policy (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421514003940)

    These resources are academic articles that provide detailed information and analysis on the topic of "Comparing the climatic and economic effects of nuclear fusion and fission". They cover a range of aspects of this topic

All these "papers" are fake and the links point to nowhere/wrong papers. Googling them also doesn't find anything.

I've been amazed by ChatGPT so far but this seems dangerous even without any "tricks"[0].
