I got the impression from the tech editor who I read the article from, that there is a big difference in how ChatGPT is used together with Bing. Jimmy Wales here describes my own experience using only ChatGPT, if you ask "who is NN#, you get unusable rubbish back.
But when the techeditor asked Bing-ChatGPT "who is Linus Larsson" (his name) he got very good result, that only exists in the article of him on swwp (no article of him exists on enwp). I can not interpret that in other way then that this version looked up Wikipedia, when asked
But I am am not a tech wizard so can be wrong

I also like the Ai is insulting, stating as an answer "are you a fool or only stupid?" It seems to need to get trained on our UCoC

Luis,
OpenAI researchers have released some info about data sources that trained GPT-3 (and hence ChatGPT): https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165
See section 2.2, starting on page 8 of the PDF.
The full text of English Wikipedia is one of five sources, the others being CommonCrawl, a smaller subset of scraped websites based on upvoted reddit links, and two unrevealed datasets of scanned books. (I've read speculation that one of these datasets is basically the Library Genesis archive.) Wikipedia is much smaller than the other datasets, although they did weight it somewhat more heavily than any other dataset. With the extra weighting, they say Wikipedia accounts for 3% of the total training.

Anders, do you have a citation for “use Wikipedia content considerably”?
Lots of early-ish ML work was heavily dependent on Wikipedia, but state-of-the-art Large Language Models are trained on vast quantities of text, of which Wikipedia is only a small part. ChatGPT does not share their data sources (as far as I know) but the Eleuther.ai project released their Pile a few years back, and that already had Wikipedia as < 5% of the text data; I think it is safe to assume that the percentage is smaller for newer models: https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027
Techniques to improve reliability of LLM output may rely more heavily on Wikipedia. For example, Facebook uses Wikipedia rather heavily in this *research paper*: https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.03299 But I have seen no evidence that techniques like that are in use by OpenAI, or that they’re specifically trained on Wikipedia. If you’ve seen discussion of that, or evidence from output suggesting it, that’d be interesting and important!

BIng with ChatGPT is now released by Micrsoft.
And from what I understand they use Wikipedia content considerably. If you ask Who is A B and A B is not widely known, the result is more or less identical to the content from the Wikipedia article (but worse, as it "makes up" facts that is incorrect).
In a way I am glad to see Wikipedia is fully relevant even in this emerging AI-driven search world. But Google search has ben careful to always have a link to Wikipedia besides their made up summary of facts, which here it is missing (yet?). And for licences, they are all ignored.
So if this is the future the number of accesses from users to Wikipedia will collapse, and also their willingness to donate... (but our content still a cornerstone for knowledge)

(I got a lot of fact from an article in Swedish main newspaper by their tech editor. He started asking fact of himself, and when he received facts from his Wp article plus being credited to a book he had noting to do with, he started to try to tell/learn ChatGPT of this error. The chatPGT only got angry accusing the techeditor for lying and in the end cut off the conversation, as ChatGPT continued to teat the techeditor as lyer and vandal..). _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/...
