Da Cap’nPeople Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies
ZozanoThis is the reason I’ve deliberately customized GPT with the follow prompts:
-
User expects correction if words or phrases are used incorrectly. Tell it straight—no sugar-coating. Stay skeptical and question things. Keep a forward-thinking mindset.
-
User values deep, rational argumentation. Ensure reasoning is solid and well-supported.
-
User expects brutal honesty. Challenge weak or harmful ideas directly, no holds barred.
-
User prefers directness. Point out flaws and errors immediately, without hesitation.
-
User appreciates when assumptions are challenged. If something lacks support, dig deeper and challenge it.
OlapI prefer reading. Wikipedia is great. Duck duck go still gives pretty good results with the AI off. YouTube is filled with tutorials too. Cook books pre-AI are plentiful. There’s these things called newspapers that exist, they aren’t like they used to be but there is a choice of which to buy even.
I’ve no idea what a chatbot could help me with. And I think anybody who does need some help on things, could go learn about whatever they need in pretty short order if they wanted. And do a better job.
I often use it to check whether my rationale is correct, or if my opinions are valid.
You do know it can’t reason and literally makes shit up approximately 50% of the time? Be quicker to toss a coin!
Actually, given the aforementioned prompts, its quite good at discerning flaws in my arguments and logical contradictions.
LainTrainYeah this is my experience as well.
People you’re replying to need to stop with the “gippity is bad” nonsense, it’s actually a fucking miracle of technology. You can criticize the carbon footprint of the corpos and the for-profit nature of the endeavour that was ultimately created through taxpayer-funded research at public institutions without shooting yourself in the foot by claiming what is very evidently not true.
In fact, if you haven’t found a use for a gippity type chatbot thing, it speaks a lot more about you and the fact you probably don’t do anything that complicated in your life where this would give you genuine value.
The article in OP also demonstrates how it could be used by the deranged/unintelligent for bad as well, so maybe it’s like a dunning-kruger curve.
Granted, it is flakey unless you’ve configured it not to be a shit cunt. Before I manually set these prompts and memory references, it talked shit all the time.
Satellaview…you probably don’t do anything that complicated in your life where this would give you genuine value.
God that’s arrogant.
I know, and that’s fair. But am I wrong? That’s what matters more than anything else.
I make a lot of bold statements on this account, but I never do so lightly or unthinkingly.
Given your prompts, maybe you are good at discerning flaws and analysing your own arguments too
I’m good enough at noticing my own flaws, as not to be arrogant enough to believe I’m immune from making mistakes :p
