How to Use Mind-mapping To Validate and Expand ChatGPT Research

I researched the EV market using ChatGPT 4 and validated its results using mind-mapping

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

The fancy way of putting that is to say AIs hallucinate, and it’s risky if you’re doing something important:

However, this shouldn’t stop anyone using generatuve AIs. There is always a risk that anyone, not just AIs or politicians, will fill in gaps with their imaginations occasionally.

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.
