What are the limitations of ChatGPT?
As impressive as it looks, ChatGPT still has limitations. Such limitations include the inability to answer a question worded in a particular way because it would require rephrasing to understand the entered question. An even bigger limitation is the lack of quality in the responses it provides - which sometimes sound plausible but have no real meaning, or can be overly verbose.

The model doesn't ask for clarification on ambiguous questions, it just guesses at the meaning of your question, which can lead to unexpected responses to the question. This limitation has already led developer Q&A site StackOverflow to at least temporarily ban answers to questions generated by ChatGPT .
"The main problem is that while the answers generated by ChatGPT have a high error rate, they can often look good and the answers are easy to generate," Stack Overflow moderators said in a post . Critics argue that these tools are very good at putting words into an order that makes sense from a statistical perspective, but they cannot understand their meaning or know whether their statements are correct.

Another major limitation is ChatGPT's data limit until 2021. The chatbot has no knowledge of events or news that have occurred since then. Finally, ChatGPT does not provide the origin of its responses.
However, these two issues were solved by integrating ChatGPT into Bing as its default search engine . The Bing plugin enables ChatGPT to index the internet and provide citations. The Bing plugin is currently limited to ChatGPT Plus subscribers , but in the future it will be free for everyone.
