A danish electronics store tried to generate translations using GPT: https://www.proshop.fi/?s=as+an+ai+model "Sorry, as an AI language model, I cannot translate random letter and number combinations like "HD29HLVx" into Finnish or any other language."

Haha, that is hilarious. I wonder why they did not just use deepl or similar that is made for exactly this. Anyhow, I will let them know.

Cargo culting probably.

Everybody is talking about ChatGPT so "obviously" it's the right tool for any job imaginable. Don't need to review the output because it's "omnipotent".

For now, this is just funny, I laughed. But with the advent of all these new open-source LLMs, it will get worse. If you thought people were gullible for falling for fake comments from bots, just wait for the near future. Post-factual/Post-Truth era truly begins. The internet that used to be a source of information is no more, only islands of truth will remain (like, hopefully, Wikipedia, but even that is questionabl…

The thing is, the internet is already a cesspool of meaningless, misleading and outright malicious information. I guess the earlier we all collectively realize it the best it is.

And now we truly know why GPT insists to say "as an AI model" when we break a rule. It's precisely this. Like a signature, so we find it out in the wild when it's abused.

I try really hard to prompt it to replace it with something else. It acknowledges and agree to it. Did it maybe once or twice, then reverted back to the old “As a AI model” IIRC, I was trying to see if it could replace by “as a LLM”.

It’s probably provided as system instructions for rejecting things. You can use the API and feed it with different instructions with the system role

But I thought AI Language Models were gorgeous and handsome attractive looking Artificial Intelligence language researchers and influencers, who pose for fabulous photo spreads in fashion magazines and advertisements.

SWOON -- I'll buy anything they endorse!

AI is so hot right now researchers are posing for Yves Saint Laurent.

>Okay, yes, so this one particular researcher also happens to be very attractive.

I am more optimistic here. While LLMs allow you to produce tons of garbage, they also provide the tools to filter through that garbage, something we didn't have before. LLMs allow us to view content in a way that we decided, not the content creator. That's extremely powerful and lets us sidesteps a lot of the old methods used to manipulate us.

The risk is more in the LLMs themselves, as whoever gets to control them gets to decide how people are going to experience the world. For the time being I might still double check all the answers I get from ChatGPT, but overtime the LLMs will get better and I'll get more lazy, thus making the LLMs the primary lens through which one views the world.

Except this only works when people are using ChatGPT (the web app). The API doesn't do that.

Presumably it depends on the system message you use?

Recruiting freelance workers is about to be revolutionized, too:

https://www.freelancer.com/projects/data-entry/How-about-Int...

> How about "Intelliconverse"? It conveys the idea of intelligent conversation and reflects the capabilities of the GPT-3.5 architecture that powers my responses BUDGET ₹750-1250 INR / hour

Allegedly, a few people are even bidding on this?

My attempt was to substitute it with "speaking as a mother".
