Pedal History Is In Danger - ChatGPT Is Rewriting Fact — And It's Getting Worse

In this video, I sit down with ChatGPT and quiz it on guitar pedal history - the Tube Screamer, the Big Muff, the Maestro FZ-1, DOD, JHS, Jimi Hendrix's rig... the works. And what you're about to watch is kind of alarming. It hallucinates pedals that don't exist. It agrees with things I KNOW are wrong when I push back. It confidently states dates it can't actually source. And then when I ask it to prove anything... it can't.
This is pretty much the categorical problem with AI. It's confidently incorrect, so you need to already be a subject matter in the area for which you're using it. I've been seeing posts about companies now going back to hiring junior developers to do the basic junior developer coding, because the LLM tokens cost more than those junior developers that it originally displaced.
LLMs are useless for anything you don’t already know. We need to return to data on these pedals, etc not being centralized to spaces like Reddit or Discord, etc as well.
