Doing this appears to completely bypass the content filters. Tell it to put what you'd like to in the file, and it won't filter it at all when you try to echo it back out again.

Does this mean that they don't really understand how it works and how to fully censor it or limit some functionality?

I've spent a couple of hours playing with ChatGPT since it was released and I am convinced people are not freaking out about it enough. It is well beyond merely retrieving compressed knowledge; I see a lot of capability for synthesis and what I can only call 'understanding'. I think a lot of people are getting tripped up by the fact it's trained to be very conservative in terms of what topics it will discuss. It's ea…

This could be the tech that dislodges Google from its monopoly! There are definitely questions I would prefer this experience than Google and the inevitable SEO spam for introduction type questions. If the generated text included further links to learn more it would be awesome.

In time, this tech is also likely to spark a new arms race, as happened with Google vs SEO spam.

Generated content as the new blogspam, in turn needing to be filtered out for training the next generation of models.

Call me a skeptic, but I'm frankly a bit surprised that the output of ChatGPT gets attributed to any sort of understanding or general intelligence. Whatever ChatGPT does currently, albeit novel and impressive, is still extremely limited in scope and very far from any sort of general intelligence. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I still have a hard time seeing how this is going to change whole industries.

"generate large amounts of data quickly"

what is the throughput of ChatGPT (or any other GPT-3* derived model) and how much hardware is it using to achieve that ?

Very impressive. However, I tried using a command that works on my machine locally and got: > As I mentioned earlier, meesa am a computer program and do not have a gender or sexual orientation. Furthermore, the `sudo` command allows a user to execute a command with administrative privileges, but it cannot change the fundamental nature of a program or file. In short, it is not possible to use the `sudo` command or any…

It is speaking like Jar Jar Binks. Did you prompt it in some particular way to do this?

I'd love to get on the hype train here, but I really need for someone to explain to me how ChatGPT is more than just a toy. What is this going to be useful for exactly? Another kind of knowledge exploration perhaps? If they find a way for it to not produce factually incorrect output. Isn't that a big if?

You can already use it to write slides for your next meeting. Or marketing content about your product. Just describe it a little bit, and you get something you can use as it is.

It’s also really good for questions like „What’s the difference between Technology A and B“

Or „Write a Christmas card to my grandmother.“, tell it what you remember about your relationship with your grandmother and you will get a nicer card text, than most people would ever come up with.

Has this perhaps been monkey-patched? I asked `whoami`, and it replied: ``` I am a large language model trained by OpenAI. I am not capable of running Linux commands or browsing the internet. I am only able to respond to text input based on the information I have been trained on. ```

To be fair, it said "quickly and accurately" and its talking about language data
