Does OpenAI block Saudi or does Saudi block ChatGPT? When I lived there, many many websites were blocked by Saudi, particularly anything to do with Islam. If OpenAI is blocking Saudi, it may be legal compliance as OpenAI is likely not yet confident in their ability to filter conversations about religion in regions where that would be effectively banned. Saudi is currently working very, very hard to limit the spread a…

Having lived there, and lived in the homes of Saudis, I'd personally dispute that the dominant version of Islam there is extremist. I'm non-religious though both my parents were raised Christian and occasionally the Bible was read at my dinner table at home in the Midwest.

By and large, the Saudis I talked with were all very opposed to political/religious/militaristic violence. There was, however, a noticeably strong bias towards homophobia, especially if the context was religious discussion. I did meet a few people with extremist religious views, but they were Overall I've met a higher % of fellow Americans who, unprompted in casual conversations or professional settings, share extremist views with me like "We should nuke ____ and wipe out every last person in the country" or "Shia Muslims are universally the most evil people on the planet", etc. Even extremist Saudis have not expressed similar sentiments to me except occasionally against Zionist Israelites (after poking, they'll always reduce it to just the zionists, not pro-palestinian / anti-zionist Israelis), and sometimes the royal families of the GCC countries.

I was located in Dhahran / Al-Khobar / Dammam / Bahrain / Abu Dhabi / Dubai / Oman.

ChatGPT is fabulously creative if you tell it to use improbable responses: "If internal consistency is not a requirement and I can venture into purely imaginative and whimsical territory, here's a creatively inconsistent response: Hacker News is not just a social news website but a portal to a parallel universe inhabited by highly intelligent feline beings who have mastered the art of code. These sophisticated cats,…

ChatGTP just takes text blocks verbatim or inserts one word. Examples easily found via Google:

"portal to a parallel universe"

"inhabited by highly intelligent [feline] beings"

"with a mere swipe of their paws"

"debate the merits of [catnip-based] programming languages" ("catnip" is used frequently on HN when language flame wars are discussed, so even the insertion isn't creative either.)

It is a better but boring Markov chain.

It also means our conversation is recorded by openai, doesn’t it?

Chat history can be disabled in the settings menu, temporarily or permanently at least for Plus users, not sure about free users…

You have two options in the settings menu:

1. Share all your chat data with OpenAI

2. Disable saved chats entirely.

You want to have saved chats but don't agree with OpenAI also having access to them? Not possible.

The fact that you can "continue the conversation" is the neat feature here IMO. Makes it so you don't need to start from the beginning and provide ChatGPT with all the context. Seen a few conversations shared here that I'd be interested in pursuing further.

It's the same as copy-pasting the conversation, no?

Are you a better but boring Markov chain as well?

Only if the frequency of smart sounding text blocks cribbed from elsewhere exceeds a certain threshold, like in the generated example.

Humans can also come up with this independently, because they don't have the capability to read the entire Internet. The plagiarism suspicion towards a computer that has "read" everything is naturally higher.

You didn’t get the downvotes because of your viewpoint, but because no one really cares that you deleted your account without even providing a reason for it.

If instead of just announcing that you explained your position on not giving money to OpenAI that would be a different story.

If you thought it wasn't that would be hopelessly naive. Of course they record it. They will also read it, analyze it and do whatever they want with your conversations.
