So ChatGPT is basically just natural language programming where you don’t know what data and algorithms you’re working with and can’t predict the exact result you’re going to get.

Sure sounds like progress to me!

@aral It serves its purpose though – to make a lot of money by impressing the gullible

@aral Like a trainee who got up to the boss' office thanks to its clever bullshit. Nice to listen to it but check every single comma.

@aral In that sense AI is very much like humans. As a teacher and father I can say that with children you don’t know what data you’re working with und you definitely can’t predict the outcome you’re going to get.

@aral it's quite good as a search engine for code docs but depends if they keep it up to date and some shit it just fabricates or confuses.
Does a good job of turning text into mermaid syntax for stuff. You need to understand the programming language sufficiently to know when it's producing crap though.

@aral It's a single, curated, nicely worded web-search that takes away all manners of checking whether its true or not.
The ultimate "alternative facts" machine controlled by big-tech.

What could possibly go wrong? 🥵

@aral #chatgpt is, by far, the most perfect tool created for #privatising #profits at massively socialised costs
