Abstract

You would have been hard-pressed to miss the storm surrounding ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) over the past few months. News outlets and social media have been abuzz with reports on the chatbot developed by OpenAI. In response to a written prompt, ChatGPT can compose emails, write computer code, and even craft movie scripts. Researchers have also demonstrated its competency to pass medical licensing exams. But excitement has been matched by a swathe of ethical concerns that could—and perhaps should—limit its adoption

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
