In this hypothetical case of a us being new users, you now know it's a conversational AI, so you continue asking:
> Can I trust the output you give me?
And I assume it explains what to trust VS not.
I think in the bottom you should also see something like "Any text can contain mistakes" or similar too, which I know is a far cry from what some people push in the press in regards to capabilities, but I still don't see the platforms themselves as lying about this, while I do see a bunch of people constantly over-hyping the possibilities.
I don't think coming at it from the perspective of a new user is that hypothetical. All current users were new users in just the last 3 years. There are still a significant number of people who have heard of it, but haven't used it, or are still very new to it.
I'm not sure why "can I trust the output you give me?" would be a logical followup to the first response it gave me, seeing as it's response didn't say anything about hallucinations or mistakes. It said it could do "useful work" with all kinds of examples, including "specialized knowledge work".
The note under the text field, in gray as to not draw the user's attention, feels more like a CYA line from the lawyers, rather than an instruction they really want users to take to heart. That line also doesn't appear on the main home page. I only shows up after the first prompt is submitted and focus shifts to the conversation. I don't think a CYA line in gray fine print is enough to make users understand it's a plausible-sounding text generation machine instead of an answer machine. Even if I ask that point blank it gives a wordy... yes, but not really, it's being debated by philosophers... response.
