Maximizing the Potential of AI Chatbots: A Guide for Directing Enhanced Utility

A.I.-powered chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard often fabricate information, leading to inaccurate answers and advice. However, by directing these chatbots to use information from trusted sources such as credible websites and research papers, they can generate intelligible answers and useful advice with a high degree of accuracy. This approach can also help reduce the production and spread of misinformation. Examples include using plug-ins that pull data from well-known media sites for meal planning, relying on trusted sources and double-checking data for research, and incorporating suggestions from favorite travel sites for travel planning. The key is to pair the language simulation ability of A.I. chatbots with high-quality information to maximize their usefulness.
