| Summary: | Five days after the launching of ChatGPT the number of users hit one million and the investment collected hit more than twenty billion US dollars in a couple of months. Nevertheless, the public reaction to the surprise launching of ChatGPT met with mixed feelings. Some paraded the release with positive
reactions and considered it as the breakthrough of the year. Some consider it as faux science and an incompetent linguistic system. Thousands of public figures signed an open petition for immediate pause of AI experiments like ChatGPT. It is likened to the Manhattan Project in the sudden invention of the atomic bomb without much thought given on its impact. From the perspective of Islamic world, TheMalaysian former minister of religious affairs has announced that ChatGPT is not appropriate to be used as reference for religious matters. Many have written
and commented on the shortcomings of ChatGPT, such as, suffering from the hallucination and lack of traceable classical reasoning mechanism. It is not able to track and explain the sources of knowledge that are used to derive and support
the conclusions made. This paper is to present the results obtained from ChatGPT
on some WH questions and make assessment on their factual accuracy. A data
set, obtained from previous research on Al-Al-Quran knowledge base system, is
used to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT. These experiments will provide
some concrete technological reasons to support or reject the view made by the
former Malaysian religious minister whether ChatGPT is not appropriate for use
in religious matters. |
