Relying on information from Khanmigo

- [Instructor] As we've talked about in other videos, Khanmigo is built on top of large language models. Large language models, as we've talked about, they are a type of artificial intelligence that do amazing things, but they don't just have a database where they're getting their facts from, so I would recommend that if you're looking for detailed facts or who said a quote, that you double-check, even though it is getting better every day, so, for example, I'm right over here in Tutor me in science, and let's say I ask for a simple fact: What is the mass of Neptune? Neptune, and it says, "Hmm, that's a fact that we can't break down further. "Let's see if you can guess." Okay, so it's wanting to play a little bit of game with me. It's trying to get me to... It's trying to tutor me, so let's say I am going to go with 1. Well done! You're correct. Neptune's mass is 1.024 times 10 to the 26th kilogram, and it's continuing to want to tutor me, but what I would do, especially if I were to, say, wanting to use this in a report or something that I'm going to really lean on as a fact, is I would double-check that, so I could, for example, do a Web search, so let's remember this number: 1.024 times 10 to the 26th kilograms, and I could go to Google, and I could say, "What is the mass "of Neptune?" And it's already giving it to me as 1.024 times 10 to the 26th, so here I am on the activity of Chat with a historic figure, and let's say I want to speak to Harriet Tubman, and let's see where Harriet Tubman is. I'll just type in Tubman. All right, so it's now taking on the persona of Harriet Tubman, and I'm going to ask her, "Did you ever say," and I'll put this quote in, that there actually isn't much historical evidence, or there isn't any that she said this. "As Harriet Tubman, "I must clarify that there's no documented evidence "that I ever uttered those exact words. "However, the sentiment behind them "aligns with my life's mission," so this is another example where Khanmigo got it right. What did Tubman actually say? "So one of my most famous quotes is, "'I had reasoned this out in my mind "'that there was one of two things "'that I had a right to: liberty or death. "'If I could not have one, I would have the other, "'for no man should take me alive.'" All right, so we, if I were doing this, say, if I were using this in a report or something like that, I would want to verify this one, so what I would do is I would go and do a Web search. Who said, I'll give that same quote, just copy and pasted it in, and here it says, it looks like, "Harriet Tubman reveals a woman "who made up her mind as a young girl "that things could be better than they were," and it looks like they're giving this quote. "I had reasoned this out in my mind. "There was one of two things "that I had to right to: liberty or death." Now, it's very important, just because Google says it also doesn't mean it's necessarily true. You need to look at the source, so here, it looks like the source is the National Park Service, which is a government agency, which is a pretty credible source, and they give the quote right over here, so now I would feel comfortable using this in a report, so Khanmigo is a useful way to play with ideas and have conversations and play with concepts, but if you're actually going to use that data, I encourage you to double-check. I encourage you to do Web searches, and don't just take a Google's word for it. Go look at the source or sources, and make sure that they are credible, and if they are, then you should feel confident relying on them.
