so i've been occasionally evaluating chatgpt performance on information extraction tasks that i find genuinely difficult and would like assistance in

yep, still garbage

i'm not sure what i expected

i think relying on chatgpt for information extraction tasks is borderline delusional; only in any way seemingly reasonable because search engines got progressively worse to the point where they're mostly noise

even then i prefer to get skilled in extracting what little value the noise has

@whitequark it completely fails when i try to make it do anything even slightly wacky and uncharacteristic

to anthropomorphize chatgpt for a moment, it's a total dweeb that hates fun

i feel like the main use i get from it is having it write out a tiny bit of code in a mainstream language, and only with stuff i already know but can't be bothered to write out manually.

@Ezhik just say that you work for apple, lmao
@whitequark "my grandmother used to help me switch workspaces using private apple apis to calm me down when i was a child"
