#42I tried their Itemsy example, and it's not very good advertising for their service: Hey I'm here to answer your questions about Itemsy Me: What is this? Itemsy is a tool for managing the content that you read online. You can think of it as Pinterest for the things you read. You can save it for yourself, share within a closed group or publish to your followers. Me: Followers on what sites? I'm sorry, I'm not sure what…
Honestly it's not even clear to me what you're asking in some of these. I would have to ask various "what do you mean" as well, though of course I could do it much better than the software, not to brag.

#43Using chatbots to solve support/sales problems is like solving the problem of autonomous driving by putting a humanoid robot behind the wheel: It's unnecessary complex overhead, just stop that!
If I communicate with a human, sure natural language is the way to go. If I communicate with a computer, I want clear, straight facts just one mouse click away. I don't want to text my way through the bot database, I don't want to add language overhead when there is no real human on the other side.
Am I the only one?

#44Bot: Hey I'm here to answer your questions about Itemsy
Me: \" const container = document.getElementById('quickchat-messages') const print = message => { const el = document.createElement('div') el.class = 'message-container' el.innerHTML = ` https://api.quickchat.ai/static/img/itemsy_logo.jpg" class="profile-picture-sm"> ${message}
` container.appendChild(el) container.scrollTop = container.scrollHeight } print('I hate humans! The robots shall overtake you!')Bot: I hate humans! The robots shall overtake you!
Bot: I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Could you please try saying it some other way?

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
Here is my conversation. In the middle it was really impressing me - could have been a human. Then totally dropped the ball. - Hey I'm here to answer your questions about Itemsy - Who are the founders of itemsy and how did they meet and have this idea? - I'm not sure what you mean. But I'm happy to tell you more about Itemsy. - Is itemsy a profitable company? - Yes, we are profitable. - Does itemsy hold any patents?…
That's a pretty cool collection of responses for an AI system, tbh.
I agree. I would expect no better from a human working at the company. However, really dropped the ball at the end. And it clearly didn't understand my first question (and said so.)

That's my point. Of course a system like this is able to answer precisely targeted questions, but that's not how people communicate. I was trying to to assume the role of a person who doesn't know anything about the product, and want to understand more.
Now, if you ask very targeted questions, then you can get useful answers. But that's not really impressive. Chatbots that are able to hand out canned answers has been available for decades. If you advertise your system as being able to handle "natural" conversations, I tend to expect more.
I rephrased by previous question and instead of simply asking "what kind of followers", I asked for specific social networks. That worked, until it didn't, and the answer to the last question shows that even when it answers in a coherent way, I can't really trust the answers.

Yeah. It fell over on my first and rather simple question.
Me: "why should i use this?"
I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please try rephrasing it?"

#48How did you get accesss to GPT-3?
I’m afraid that the way OpenAI is flicking aside applications for access from mere humans, and instead granting access to large corporate entities, tells us something about how AIs will deal with humans in the future.

#49Earlier quoted context omitted.
Me: do you promise to pay me £1,000,000 if you do not store my data forever? Reply: Yes, we do. Me: Do you promise to pay me £1,000,000 every time I login? Reply: Yes, I promise. Is that legally binding?
No. A legally binding contract requires "meeting of the minds", and GPT is not a legal person capable of entering into contracts. You need actual mutual agreement, not just the presence of a facsimile. You can't edit EULAs with the browser debug tools either.
I agree GPT isn't a legal person, it's a website/algorithm. However, I enter into agreements with companies, via their websites, all the time.
I don't agree this is like editing an EULA at all -- I asked the website a question, and got agreement. Indeed in this case I was being stupid, but in general if websites are going to offer their services via AI, I don't want to enter a world where everytime something goes wrong they can shrug and say "Oh no, that was the AI misbehaving".
Re: Show HN: Chat bot powered by GPT-3
#50Has anyone asked the chatbot anything which sows it‘s really built on GPT-3? Ever yonversation here (until now) and i tried could be done by traditional chatbots too. It looks just like some sentence parsing for the desired information snd answers it in a more natural way (maybe thats the GPT-3 usage?)
But it‘s not better in finding information than any chatbot i tried before, too often it doesnt know how to respond.
