I’m trying to get on the AI train but every time I try, it screws me. Why does it suck so bad and what am I doing wrong to make it sick so bad?
The only time I find it useful is when I need to know something but just don’t care quite enough that I get a right answer. Like, “why is the sky blue?” I don’t care enough if I’m told something only 50% right that I’m ok with whatever answer I get. But when I try and use it for things I care about I rarely get accurate results.
Case #1: I was curious the distance of the 3 pt line on a high school basketball court at the top of the key measure from the backboard. chatGPT continuously have wrong answers and insides ridiculous things like that the rim is 36” in diameter and that it is 4’ off the backboard. There was no was over an hour I could get an accurate answer.
Case #2: I fed in results from a lot (20ish) local basketball tournaments and asks it to build me a master table to attempt to generate power rankings. It doesn’t need to be too over engendered or accurate, the idea is just to see how good teams we are facing on any given weekend may be based solely on their W/L and scores against other area teams. I spent the entire day feeding data. I even started from scratch with a better, what I thought was well defined, copy/paste of results for nearly 200 games after the data was all messed up the first time. After the input from the very first Tournamnet it was already making up results that didn’t exist saying certain teams went 0-4 when they only played 3 games.
As soon as I start asking for outputs of the data I start to see issues. It reports back that team A played team B but I know those never happened. Today, I came back and asked for all the Tournamnet played in by a team with “XYZ” in the name. It spits out 1 Tournamnet and 3 other teams that it’s thinks are tournaments. When I input the data I was very clear. I even laid out the format before hand and stuck to it.
Now as I question ChatGPT on the data it’s telling me there is no master table of this information when we specifically set the rules for it to create a master table with the data since this first time I tried all the data was messed up and it said it was b/c we didn’t build a master table.
Why is AI so terrible/what am I doing wrong?
