Knowing what I know about GPT-4—it sometimes makes things up—I knew I’d need to check this information against other sources, and Google and Wikipedia certainly played a useful role in this part of the process. In the end, though, the key to getting me up to speed here was GPT-4. While the information it had provided was partially wrong, it was also mostly right. And, most importantly, GPT-4 produced this information extremely quickly. When I’d Googled the same kind of information, it offered me dozens of links, some of which looked promising, others not. The Wikipedia experience differed in details but not in results. With GPT-4, though, its capacity to instantly synthesize infor- mation from a wide range of sources meant that I received exactly the kind of list I’d been envisioning within seconds. This list contained errors, but that was OK because—and this is a key point—I wasn’t looking for or expecting a finished product. I was looking for an informed starting point, a rough map of the territory I wanted to explore, to help me quickly get a sense of which questions I should be asking. Having thus oriented myself, I then spent a fair amount of time querying GPT-4 about the ways that the Associated Press, Reuters, the Washington Post, Bloomberg News, the Guard- ian, the New York Times, and others have incorporated AI 83
