It has lots of value. But it's not the AI it pretends to be. Mostly because we and it can't always tell what's fact or fiction and it has 0 cognition. It's up to us to figure out where it can add value. It's way too early to announce its death. It's a super charged Cliff Clavin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Clavin

#92I found the article really difficult to read, so I summarised it with ChatGPT Large language models like the GPT family are statistical models that learn the structure of language by predicting missing words in sentences. These models are seen as "bullshit generators" as they have no idea what they are talking about and are designed to produce baseless assertions with confidence. The addition of reinforcement learnin…

Not always on the first time, but when there's a problem I don't need somebody else to intervene and make it work for me.
I've seen at least one demonstration where the user re-fed problematic generated text into chat-GPT and successfully asked it to find the problem.

I’m not sure why we need comments from people proud that they couldn’t be troubled to read the article that is supposedly being discussed, but it seems like a popular genre of reply whenever something tech-critical is posted.

#95I'm scared too but this is literally neo-ludite sperging.

Do you mean that you can build software 10-20x faster, or that you can literally write code 10-20x faster? I find it very hard to believe you can build software 10-20x faster with GPT, since the majority of building software isn't writing code. I'm also curious what you're programming that can be completely offloaded to GPT.
Posted elsewhere, but this is what I suspect is happening. Folks that are primarily slapping together a lot of code are benefitting from ChatGPT. It's pretty useless for the other stuff except maybe boilerplate stuff for a design doc.

#97On a slight tangent from the core topic.. > we are all 'stochastic parrots' like large language models, statistical generators of learned patterns that express nothing deeper, is a form of nihilism to mean: “life is meaningless. (period)”. When in fact, it really means: “life is meaningless… (you fill the dots for yourself)”. Humans created the concepts of law and order, and the rules of society. Everything is man ma…
that's the reason AlphaZero can become superhuman at Go, while ChatGPT can't even play. it makes me wonder if OpenAI has abandoned RL because it's too hard, and they're trying to move the AGI goalposts to these giant unsupervised models.

#99Here's the thing... so many jobs are bullshit. So many things people are paid to write, presentations made, etc. are bullshit. I'm not judging the bullshit per se. There's good bullshit and bad, necessary bullshit and not. But yeah, when you accept this reality, AI is sort of perfect for the bullshit that exists in our lives.
