@Popehat These are funny. It bothers me how many people don't find these LLMs hilarious and take them seriously and consider them factual…
@SloanStudio @Popehat
Who can blame them when OpenAI and Microsoft are hyping up their technology ("Sparks of AGI") and the TESCREAL gang are becoming an AI existential risk doomsday cult
@bornach @Popehat I mean that Lawyers were copying and pasting… but this too.
@Popehat Ken, be careful using chatgpt for your research!
@Popehat Siri must be greatly relieved that you’re now asking these to a different AI system
@Popehat And we thought rock lyricists were the modern philosopher kings. Tom Waits has nothing on this thing.
@Popehat The damn thing is trained to sound approachably authoritative even when it’s hedging. Like a third grade teacher with a larger vocabulary and complex sentence structure.
@Popehat putting aside such concerns as accuracy and reliability, isn’t interacting with the bot kind of remarkable?
@Popehat I think that’s on Christie. The McRib clearly said it was “available for a limited time.” When a fast food item tells you who they are, believe them.

@Popehat

Before reading this I actually thought ChatGPT had more to it. It’s just so vacuous.

@RowinSpeez @Popehat ChatGPT just strings words together that statistically sound good and have some vague relationship to the prompt text. There's literally nothing more to it. "Vacuous" implies some level of cognition, which ChatGPT has absolutely none of.
@Popehat how did it know that Chris Christie is such a great barrier to human happiness?...

@Popehat

AI has a long way to go.
