alt Hacker News> They are not magic oracles.
I came across a LinkedIn post a couple days ago where someone had asked ChatGPT, "What are the top things you get asked about $NICHE_INDUSTRY_THING_I_AM_SELLING?"
As if there is introspection like that at the meta level, where ChatGPT could actually provide hard numbers around its own usage and request patterns.
The fact that these products work with natural language beguiles people into thinking they are, indeed, magic oracles.
This is the weird intersection where I think that data might exist and LLM might be able to query it. But any company would never give it out. So the bot would not have access to it.
