Welcome! This is a place for people to learn more about machine learning techniques, discuss applications and ask questions.

Example questions:

"Should I use a deep neural network for my audio classification task?"
"I'm working with a small dataset, what can I do to make my model generalize well?"
"Is there a library available that implements function X in language Y?"
"I want to learn more about the math behind machine learning technique A, where should I start?"

I find ChatGPT (the free version, 3.5, which cannot search the internet) acceptable when accuracy is of no concern. Coding, cooking, creative writing, things like that.

But it is so good at making things up, that's hard to spot when you don't already know the answer. So when I want a fact based answer, ideally with sources attached, I turn to Bing AI or Perplexity.

That's true but even with 3.5, I find it takes multiple prompts to get it to give me the info I want. When if I put it in google, I'll find the reddit or stackoverflow post that's what I want or close. Like just yesterday I asked for how to do something without using sudo and the first command it gives me uses sudo...

Edit: Even using 4 through bing, I ask it for books or papers and 2/3 results are blog posts https://imgur.com/a/eI0bJL5
