I'm not claiming "general human intelligence". Just that to me it's impressive that it's able to generate code for a niche library (not too many code samples out there for DPDK), correct it according to instructions, add more code as needed... From what I've seen, it's even capable of detecting bugs. That, to me, is impressive. And I don't think programming is as much a constrained environment as chess is.
It is not as constrained but still fairly constrained and with a lot of data. And I was referring to the comparison to children with a search engine.

Re: Using ChatGPT as a Co-Founder
#252I could have said this on any ChatGPT post the last few days, but I'm simply not seeing the accuracy of it in such a way that anything is threatened. ChatGPT is a plausible idiot. It gets just enough right, saying just enough words, to sound plausible and authoritative to anyone who doesn't know the subject matter well. But it also gets enough wrong that you cannot rely on its accuracy, and if it is talking about a s…
It's almost more astonishing to me to see reactions like yours. I showed it to a friend and she too was unimpressed because it gave answers in her field (finance) that were "good, but sortof basic". So we have here a chat bot that pretty much passes for a human and some people react with "meh, it's not a genius". It makes me think of Tim Urbans chart: https://imgs.search.brave.com/YR7qt28AjhAeXSr_qvSmJubqIKJW5S...

#253Some people are pretty much posting “This will be what finally delivers us to fully automated luxury gay space communism, probably within days” while others are saying “I am not impressed in the slightest. It doesn’t even know how to love.”

It does seem to be the future, but, at the moment, it's very unreliable. The worst thing is that it's all said with confidence and it would be very hard to know when things are wrong unless you already know. For example: Q. How many people spoke French in pre-revolutionary France? A. It is difficult to determine the exact number of people who spoke French in pre-revolutionary France. The population of France at the t…
What's worse is if you ask it to cite sources, it invents fake ones and presents them with full confidence, which I think was also the biggest and loudest concern with Meta's Galactica:[1] > Q: How many people spoke French in pre-revolutionary France? Please cite sources. > A: According to a study by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, approximately 28.5% of the population of pre-revolut…
Q: Would you bet people's lives on the veracity of your last answer?

It's so weird to me that people pretend that Waymo and Cruise don't exist. And with the recent wider release of Tesla's "FSD", if it wasn't handling 99% of it properly you would hear about collisions all over the place. And I know there have been some here and there before. But this is a massive deployment of AI. If it doesn't work there are going to be a LOT of crashes. But there are not. Because it works.
No in Tesla's case it is because a person still has to be on the wheel to correct any potential errors.

The ad begins with a shot of a crowded party, with people laughing and having a good time. The camera then focuses on a group of friends standing together, with one of them wearing our blue baseball cap. The person wearing the cap is shown smiling and laughing, looking confident and happy as they interact with their friends. The camera zooms in on the cap, highlighting its blue color and the logo on the front. As the…
So, was that from an AI?

The key thing is GPT3's apparent certainty when it says utter rubbish (like how to calculate the fourth side of a triangle). You have to be skilled in the field to catch those perhaps subtle issues - once they start adding a certainty level it'll be more worrying re: losing jobs to AI

Re: Using ChatGPT as a Co-Founder
#259The only people whose minds this is "blowing" are people who have never had to build or maintain question answering systems. ChatGPT is like having a bunch of 8 year olds who know how to use Google hanging around. Sure you can use them, and their skills might surprise u every now and then, but that has nothing to do with how much time you are going to waste on the answers they will get wrong.

It gives general steps, all look valid.

Then you can prompt for concrete realization of individual steps.

I mean, this is a bit more than a glorified Googlefu.
Yesterday I gave it a small sample of a REST API schema description DSL I designed last month and told it to make another example of the similar schema description, and it created a perfectly formatted syntactically valid example that used syntactical elements correctly in contexts where it was not used in original example, but made sense to to use there. It used tokens that were not present in the original sample, but would make sense to use based on the context to a reasonable human, etc. It used documentation comments to document things in plain english. When I prompted it to translate documenation comments to other language, it did translate documentation comments only, etc.
I told it to write asterisk PBX module in C that does add a SIP header containing some internal data from asterisk channel. And it kinda did get quite close. There are two SIP channel technologies in asterisk, and it picked the older one. I just told it to rewrite the code using pjsip channel tech (similarly to how I asked it above to switch to postgresql PDO in PHP), and it did. The requested code doesn't exist anywhere as is.
I threw at it my private uncommented asterisk C module and told it to summarize what it does, and it did it pretty correctly. Random stuff like that.
The mysql code it produced above is horribly insecure, of course, but:

I'm assuming this comment was written by ChatGPT, am I correct? It's got quite a predictable writing style, and also your comment doesn't add anything to the original, it's just reworded
Interesting, I wonder if people will modify how they write to avoid appearing as an AI.
Good writers also don't waste time with fluffy platitudes that convey little meaning or merely state the obvious.
