ChatGPT requires a cell phone for verification of your login. I do not have a cell phone so I cannot use it. But I've heard it helps programmers with problems a lot. I don't know if it can help only with beginner problems, or advanced problems.
Thank you Randall for highlighting this. I shudder at its potential impact. It takes encyclopediac knowledge and puts a judgement on it as a factual statement.
I haven’t used it but it doesn’t seem much of an improvement on other interfaces with Wikipedia such as Alexa or Siri.
According to James Surowiecki’s book the Wisdom of Crowds, there are five elements required to form a wise crowd - diversity of opinion, independence, decentralisation, aggregation and trust.
If it’s programmed to be woke, then it fails the first two elements. If OpenAI’s vision is creating artificial general intelligence and this is their best shot, AGI is decades away.
Joel - was this Randall’s article all the way through? It was well done. I know when you cross post it states that, and puts a little cross dot tag, but I didn’t see that. was this all Randall? Correct? I had not heard of him before.
An excerpt from a conversation with a friend the other day...
"Yeah, that's already underway... William Gibson's biosoft and Johnny Mnemonic... AI will be used to confuse and divide, the purpose of modern propaganda, according to Kasparov. The AI being developed can only be described as 'bias in, bias out'. The trans-humanist technocrats think that replacing humans with machines will work. Any human who works closely with machines or large data, or more importantly maintains and runs them will tell you it is a pipe dream and not based in reality... Which is where the idle rich spend most of their time."
Novelists of the hack writer variety appear to want to embrace it. You'll very soon be able to download an AI written 'novel' from Amazon. Soon after you'll struggle to find one that isn't AI given the speed with which the hack writers will produce the literary equivalent of phlegm. It's a real concern and coming at us like a high speed train whilst we've got our foot caught in the tracks.
Hello, I identified a lot of your imagery and implications shown in your article, and my interpretation of it, is that maybe people would be better off and lead better, healthier lives if they were not reliant on this. From what you have shown here, the disinformation people may receive may alter their appearance, setting, or living conditions...financial, etc. I have never heard of such a technology as this robot you wrote about; I would have no use for it. However, the concept of it reminded me of an old movie called Hal 9000. It was Ironic because I am experimenting with HALion Sonic in a Steinberg program.
The gist of your article leads me to believe that people can't save themselves from demise relying on others for things they don't understand, so they are turning to some sort of information system that strings results together to give them their best match.

It strikes me that the sum of all human knowledge, behaviours and vagaries also amplifies the fallible elements. If I understand correctly, you refer very reasonably to notionally objective 'standards'.
The problem seems that there appears no 'objective' human and trying to create one by summing all of us 'useful idiots' into an inferential AI seems a manifest effort to create the illusion of a minor deity before whom we all defer and bow, except of course the culling elite who are in the throes of manufacturing this controllable AI of 'plausible deniability', an AI from whom faux direction and "wisdom" will be handed down.
These A/I things are complete comedy. I don't know what chatgpt is and I couldn't care less. If it comes from big tech, it is dangerous, stupid and murderous.

ChatGPT is mind numbing slow painful death. Free yourself.

I avoid anything 'smart' including cities. I shall wander on my mission regardless until my last breath. Great work, thanks Joel, a timely warning.

Thanks Randall.
Fine, thoughtful and well explored exposition.
:-)

When dealing with computer programs, the axiom of "garbage in = garbage out" still applies.
ChatGPT is not excepted from this rule, just one more incarnation of it.

Disseminators.
Clearly and obviously.
Any reply to any query should remind users of these facts.

Re your diatribe on ChatGLPT: In other words, junk in equals junk out.
Nothing really changes, except our perceptions, manipulated by those who have the will and the means to do so for their own nefarious purposes.
More people need to study history. Or just look back on their own lives and learn the obvious lessons.
the horror..
