Where does ChatGPT fall short?

ChatGPT has its limitations, and it's crucial to understand these to use it effectively:

  1. Lack of World Knowledge: While ChatGPT knows a lot from its training data, it doesn't know everything. ChatGPT's training only includes information available until its last update (2021 at the time of this writing), and it can't access or understand new information past that date without leveraging plugins or upcoming alpha/beta features.

  2. Misinterpretation: ChatGPT might not fully understand a question's context or nuances and can provide incorrect or nonsensical responses.

  3. Overuse of Certain Phrases: You might notice that ChatGPT tends to overuse specific phrases or generate text that is more verbose than necessary.

  4. Sensitive Topics: While steps have been taken to make ChatGPT refuse outputs for specific sensitive topics, it's not foolproof. It might occasionally respond to harmful instructions or exhibit biased behavior.
