| Abstract: | Additionally, Amram, Goodfellow, Malamud, and Hollingsworth pointed out that "ChatGPT, in their own FAQ, warn users that it can give incorrect or made-up answers that are unrelated to the questions and input that a person gives it."· Floyd noted that Brzustowicz's research method was flawed since he failed to document the prompts entered into ChatGPT when requesting a record for a particular title, and did not indicate how he selected the WorldCat records for comparison.· Testing ChatGPT's Ability to Provide Resource Description What can be discovered when a trained cataloger performs a similar experiment? [...]the record did include the appropriate MARC 33X Physical Description fields for a print book. Since the desired results were not achieved, I revised my query and asked, "Can you create a MARC 21 record using RDA for A Troop of Gorillas by Kelley Barth?" The results were only slightly better. See Figure 2 (page 6). Since there was no summary provided in the MARC 520 Summary field, T asked ChatGPT during the same session, "Can you provide a summary of this book?" The response was, "Of course! Since 'A Troop of Gorillas' by Kelley Barth is a fictional title, ГП craft a summary fitting for a children's book." |
