From the graph (above) linked by the top comment in your [2], I'm wondering whether this demonstrates more anti-conservative bias than liberal bias, or whether the alternative meanings of conventionally conservative versus conventionally liberal words dictate the frequency of a flag.

> US Democrat party (which is frequently misstated as the "Democratic party") Where are you getting this? The proper term is indeed "Democratic party", and this is almost universal outside of the conservative bubble. You might personally think it's not small-d democratic, but that doesn't make "Democrat party" correct.

Sorry man, I misremembered and reversed the terminology (democrat versus democratic). What I would have written had I recalled correctly is that a member of the Democratic party is called a Democrat (two distinct suffixes), while a member of the Republican party is called a Republican (same word).

Can someone tell me what the hell they use ChatGPT for? I tried it a few times and it always confidently gave me wrong results to basic things. What is this thing supposedly “disrupting”? Is it really just marketing cranking out metric tons of spam blogs?

I have been using it as a search replacement for most of the past month and only found two subtly wrong answers. This covers legal questions, researching product differences, wiring diagrams, suggesting books to read, correcting misremembered quotes, and about a hundred other tasks. Of course still relying on google in the background, but increasingly rarely, and presuming all the negative commentary we've been seein…

Your entire post is questionable the moment you write something like "Google as we knew it is already dead".

Yeah, no.

I've used it for regex and creating basic python scripts that I can then extend. I've found it very useful for these things.

ChatGPT has an infinite number of uses as long as those involve text transformation in some form.

My favorite has been to feed it some slab of text and let it generate synopsis and then bullet points and then you can expand on those bullet points.

You feed it some prompts and let it expand on a topic.

My main use has been to generate multiple choice quizzes on a variety of topics for my students.

ChatGPT does a very good job 90% of a time and if some quiz is off, you just let ChatGPT make some more.

If need be you can generate code in oh about 20-30 programming languages. Vast majority of it will be ideomatic too. Sure Copilot (which is GPT-2 or GPT-3 now?) could do some of the tasks as well but the generality of ChatGPT is astounding.

Now, it is not going to write a big application for you but ChatGPT could generate large parts of the code.

So far the only weakness (besides the rare hallucination) I've found ChatGPT tends to make up word endings in less popular human languages when translating from English. That is probably due to how tokenization is done.

Has anyone been able to have ChatGPT generate gramatically "incorrect" English? I am talking about regular prompts (not rap or dialects).

I, for one, would like to see an open-source model similar to Stable Diffusion, but for text. It would be a great way to empower general folk without having to pay OpenAI, and not have to worry about the LLM's belief system, which is conservative-biased in the case of ChatGPT[1] (HN discussion[2]).

“Democrat”, just like “republican”, has a generic meaning that is not closely connected to the US political party. It means someone who supports democracy.

> Can someone tell me what the hell they use ChatGPT for? I play DnD with my friends and I’m usually the dungeon master. I use ChatGPT to help me world build, and flesh out details. Don’t imagine asking ChatGPT what should happen in the next session. More like asking for options for the name and title of a non-player character. Then it writes options, I twist them up, combine them and select the one I like the best.…

This is a great example. At this point it apparently can do a lot more than we have the imagination to ask it.

I’ve been asking it to write poems about my favorite movies and books, among other things. It’s just…fun.

Translation (seems better than Google's). Old movie reviews. Other than that, can't really trust it for anything.

Sure, but the adjective form of democrat is more common, and at least in English speaking countries republican has broader use compared to democrat as a counter to monarchy.

It gives me wrong answers for tech questions, but no more often than say stackoverflow.

Is much faster than googling or digging through blogs, gives me direct answers instead of having to dig through forums or documentation to find the piece of information I’m looking for, and there’s no ads or other garbage.

It’s become my sort of first line of defense looking for information. Imperfect but often pretty good.

I use it like a turbo-assistant.

Can you make this more succinct?

Convert the following list into a LaTeX enumerated list. Please put a period at the end of each item.

Please convert all of the metric numbers using the siunitx package.

Convert the following into a Table using booktabs syntax.

It's really helpful in doing a lot of grunt work.

Write me a few paragraphs describing (Yes. I have to check it to make sure it hasn't gone insane, but it spews workable prose for shit I don't want to write).
