> A mistake on our part that didn’t help was people treated the site like a <i>product</i>. We put our vision etc on the site, which misled about expectations. We definitely did not view it as a product! It was a base model demo.<p>they still didn't get it... People treated site as product, and criticized according to product's standards, because it was specifically designed to look as product. The output was well formatted, it looked like real thing, and more importantly it was presented as as a finished product. Go to <a href="https://galactica.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://galactica.org/</a> today, and try to find "four disclaimers about hallucinations on the demo". You can find some but you'll have to specifically look for them.<p>Had it been default font on unstyled background, with huge watermark across every paragraph saying "Base model demo, output might be incorrect, don't believe any advise without verification", the public's reaction would likely be completely different.
