Lucifer@gpt #chatgpt will do to our cognitive abilities what #goodlemaps have done to our navigational abilities
Michael Dansie 🇺🇦@theLucifer @gpt I disagree. Google maps is accurate and precise. ChatGPT provides fluent text, but it is neither accurate nor precise with the information it produces. Thus far it is a novelty tool with the potential for improvement especially if it could be linked with data resources like Wolfram Alpha.
@RunningUtes @gpt Google maps was crap when it first came out also. And I suppose I shouldn't just say ChatGPT, it could be any AI from Alexa to Watson, but this is the first one that's impressed me. One of them will get it right and get the market share. It's still very early and they're advancing at a rapid pace. I think before 2030 we'll be having conversations with AI that are indistinguishable from a human.
@theLucifer @gpt Consider this recent wired article. It proposes that the reason that we find ChatGPT reasonable is that most of the content it generates is based on improvised plausible material without substance. https://www.wired.com/story/chatgpt-fluent-bs/
@theLucifer @gpt I agree with its statement that “Prestigious schools and universities structure education in a way that teaches people one skill: how to very quickly absorb information, confidently regurgitate it in a predetermined format, and then immediately forget it and move on to something else.”
