| Jun 25, 2023 at 1:07 | comment | added | Terry Tao | I think it is healthy to keep discussing this issue. In my opinion, the situation is actually not so dissimilar to when Wikipedia became popular, and there were debates on how to use it in answering questions on the internet. Clearly, blindly pasting in content from Wikipedia pages would be an absolutely terrible MO answer, but using Wikipedia for initial leads, and providing Wikipedia links as secondary support for one's primary argument, are now socially acceptable. I believe that a similar consensus will eventually emerge regarding GPT. | |
| Jun 25, 2023 at 1:07 | comment | added | GH from MO | @DavidRoberts I think it is useful to share how the answer was found. Terry's notes reminded me of an old post of mine (mathoverflow.net/questions/63633/…) where similar additional info was well received. (I am not sure what you meant by politically sensitive points.) | |
| Jun 25, 2023 at 1:03 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | @TerryTao thank you, that's a big help. I think your usage was in fact an exemplar of how it should be done, just at this present time the optics are difficult. | |
| Jun 25, 2023 at 0:55 | comment | added | LSpice | @DavidRoberts, re, while acknowledging the particular point about ChatGPT that affects this situation, with respect to the more general claim "people don't generally report on their methods on how they arrive at an answer"—it's probably true, but I'm not sure it's such a good thing. I daresay that, outside of particular politically sensitive points, it's probably not a bad idea for us to defer to super-experienced expositors like Tao on how much technically extra-mathematical exposition is appropriate for what venues. | |
