Conisdering the people I know that use ChatGPT to summerize SEC filings for them, I think those disclaimers are mostly ignored.


summarizing is different from generating and different from searching


It isn't guaranteed to be accurate for any of these cases, so the difference is irrelevant here.


Could you remind me what the "G" in "GPT" means?


Wow!, do you know what the Ms in 3M mean?


I do, as it happens. But your snippy response isn't responsive to the core of the concept to which my question referred.

"Pulling in a chunk of content and probabilistically summarizing it is somehow not generative work" does not make pass the sniff test. And "probabilistically" is load-bearing there: you are reliant on probabilistic weights to not have that generated summary turn out to be hogwash.


summarize a given text is a valid task for this tool.


Considering the results, in that case, is at least negligent.
