These models, while versatile, face challenges in handling complexity and may fall short on intricate tasks. ChatGPT also exhibits limitations in mathematical problem-solving and occasionally “hallucinates” fictitious facts.
The absence of source citations raises plagiarism concerns, emphasizing the need for cautious use. Environmental impact is notable due to high energy consumption during training and daily use. Furthermore, privacy becomes a concern with default access to conversation history, potentially impacting security through the creation of convincing phishing emails.
