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 I have never bothered to even try ChatGPT. My expectations on its usability for my needs were extremely low to begin with.

@foremostarchwiz i want to know my enemy, so to speak

(it's not much of a threat)

@whitequark The bigger threat is probably blind belief by others in LLMs and ensuing large-scale improper use of them.
@foremostarchwiz that's exploitable though
@whitequark Sure. But exploitable by many.
@whitequark I am sure you are already taking this into account. So, still no serious threat.

@foremostarchwiz threat to my ability to survive? not really

threat to society? honestly maybe, but it's very hard to say for sure
