ChatGPT and other generative AIs are remarkable but imperfect. Like many politicians, for example, they make up answers when they’re cornered.

Nothing has changed. If you depend on information, you need to check it.
But that can be daunting! Mind-mapping to the rescue. I use this technique to visualise and snalyse what ChatGPT coughs up. All you need is an app such as iThoughts or MindNode and patience.
To illustrate, I’ll describe how I researched the global EV marketplace. There were issues with ChatGPT, but I was able to spot and correct them. I produced a validated mind-map that illustrated ChatGPT’s output, including live links to sources.
Because ChatGPT “understands” mind-maps, exporting its output to a mind-mapping app is relatively straightforward. You don’t have to use the app I used. Any decent mind-mapping app will do.
I have no links to OpenAI or any of the apps referenced in this article. It’s simply my opinion. 🙂
Here’s my prompt and ChatGPT’s response.
My prompt, of course, is not comprehensive, but it illustrates broadly what I want to know. I’m looking…
