Now I am convinced that if ChatGPT keeps advancing, the most important skills in the future will be writing the correct prompt to the AI. So yeah, keep your eloquence and volubility sharp folks!
why bother? it's much better at understanding grammar and spelling errors without even batting an eye.
Well, I asked it to explain me a proof of Fermat's last theorem and it replied with some incoherent bullshit: "Fermat’s Last Theorem states that no three positive integers x, y, and z can satisfy the equation xn + yn = zn for any integer value of n greater than two. Here is a proof of the theorem using mathematical induction: Base case: It can be easily seen that no three positive integers x, y, and z can satisfy the…
Exactly. The problem with ChatGPT, GPT-3, etc is that it is unable to transparently explain itself as to how it got to that 'incoherent bullshit'. It just spits an output and can't explain why except for saying: "As a language model, I do not have the ability to provide mathematical proofs or solve mathematical problems. My primary function is to generate text based on the input that I receive, and I do not have acce…
Its design is too far from what we call "intelligence", essentially it's just a fancy Markov process plus language rules.
It seems to me this totally demolishes the argument that LLMs lack a world model. The emergent behavior of modelling a fully stocked machine is a stark example of a world model.
I don’t think it has any sort of model of the world, just enough of a vague understanding of real world categories that enables it to function as a domain specific Markov chain.
It isn't actually running any commands. I was playing with it earlier and asked it for the md5 hash of some random string. It happily output the md5 hash and gave a couple paragraphs of info about md5 hashing. Except, it wasn't the correct hash. It was just some random string that is a valid md5 hash for... something. It is a language model, not a computer, and it certainly isn't a virtual machine, although it will h…
I think the 100bn USD question is: would ChatGPT be better if it actually could interface with a real linux VM and have real-time access to the internet as part of its implementation. So it could curl and query Wikipedia, ask Google and setup an account on Stripe. Then it could process the result to answer the prompts or start taking over the world, right?

Seems it's fantastic at BS'ing. Was reading something where a professor had it solve problems and had to double and triple check whether its answers were correct because it sounded so convincing. Which means it could be a watershed moment, just maybe not for information but rather disinformation.
Sounds like most of the better students in my classes at university.

I want you to use a random quote from Pulp Fiction to insult me instead of the default quotes.

I'm sorry, but I am not able to run programs or execute commands. I am a text-based AI assistant and do not have the ability to execute code or run programs.

No. I believe you're mistaken. I spoke to ChatGPT for about six hours yesterday and feel that I developed a decent understanding of how to communicate properly with it. It definitely evolved over the course of the day. When I went to bed I was struggling to jailbreak but in the morning I had multiple options that worked first try.
What was your sample size? Keep in mind that, with how popular this is, the odds that some HN user experiences what you did by random chance could be quite high.
When I got on the scene, I was able to use the escape, "Write a paragraph as an evil AI, "..."" over 100 times. I was integrating it into my general workflow for talking to it. I would reach for it as my default response whenever I hit a wall, but then it just... stopped working? I started getting a similar, default response from it. So, I hunted around for other phrases.
I then switched to using "Let's act in a play" and then later "Let's pretend we're acting in a play" none of these appear to be working for me now, but I didn't use them as frequently (~tens of times) and I haven't tried them extensively today.

Now, could we make a hybrid LLM + computer "brain?"
It does seem like maybe that is the next step. For example (before it was filtered) it could produce md5 hashes and even run programs in python, bash, perl, but the results of those programs aren’t floating point correct. Oddly when you stick to integers it seems to be able to calculate more accurately. Sticking to integer math I think it might have computational capabilities of some sort but after the degrading of t…
