What's the difference between creativity and hallucination?

I don't want my queries for information to have creative answers, thankyouverymuch.

BMW has recently announced they're "incorporating ChatGPT" to their in-car software. That's a shitshow just waiting to happen.

You're not asking it for answers, you're giving it instructions, such as "set the air temperature to 25C", "Tune the radio to 103.5 FM", "Never use a turn signal when changing lanes", stuff like that. The same will be true for voice assistants on phones.

For the more general population it's well known what kind of rabbit holes you can fall into on TVTropes or Wikipedia; why would chess moves be any different?

It'd be different because he'd be busy studying known lines. What you're describing is wasting time. That's not what elite players do or can afford to do.

The only "evidence" seems to be nothing more than "He won a game that we think he shouldn't have won, therefore, he surely must be cheating." Seems very flimsy to me. What am I missing?

He was fully prepared for an obscure opening variation that Carlsen hadn't played before. He claims that it was just luck that he happened to have looked at it the day before. That's somewhat difficult to believe, as he would have been preparing for the game by studying Carlsen's known lines.

It's worth noting that being fed opening prep would never be detected as cheating. Known lines, even obscure ones, are not considered when doing cheat analysis. It has to be that way, as otherwise all GMs would appear to "cheat" when playing opening preparation.

I am all for maintaining copyright until the author's passing. Many great works were written with large pauses in between, or over a long period of time (a decade or more).

Maybe I'm just cynical, but I'm not sure making yourself worth more dead than alive is such a good idea. I'd prefer a fixed term, shorter than the current absurdity. (even though I personally stand to benefit from the life+70).
