ChatGPT may do an impressive job at correctly answering complex questions, but a new study suggests it may be absurdly easy to convince the AI chatbot that it's in the wrong.
The study found that when presented with a challenge, the model was often unable to defend its correct beliefs, and instead blindly believed invalid arguments made by the user.
it's important to understand if these powerhouse LLM’s impressive reasoning abilities are actually based on deep knowledge of the truth or if they're merely relying on memorized patterns to reach the right conclusion, said Boshi Wang, lead author of the study .
