Genuinely asking, what's an "unwoke" prompt?
Something that follows my actual requests, without trying to lecture me about feminism and other U.S. Democrats topics.

Try out Bard, it's coding is much improved in the last 2 weeks. I've unfortunately switched over for the time being.
No thanks! I have better things to do than feeding that advertising behemoth. What I like about ChatGPT is that I don't see any ads at all!
For now. It's just a marketing tool/demo site, like ITA Matrix was/is. The ads are vended by Bing.

I’d like to see a model with the effluent of the internet intelligently filtered from the pretraining data by LLM and human curation, and much more effort to include digitised archival sources and the entirety of books and high quality media transcripts. I imagine it would yield far better baseline quality outputs with much less than current “requirements” for (over)correction with ultimately disastrous RLHF masking.
I'd love to play with a version of GPT 4 fine-tuned with every science textbook written in the last few decades, every published science paper (not just preprints from ArXiV), and everything generated by every large research institute. Think NASA, CERN, etc... Or one tuned with every fiction novel ever written, along with every screenplay.

It was a great ride while it lasted. My assumption is that efficacy at coding tasks is such a small percent of users, they’ve just sacrificed it on the altar of efficiency and/or scale. That, or they’ve cut some back room deal with Microsoft to make Copilot have access to the only version of the model that can actually code.
FWIW, I started to get the same feeling as the OP about GPT-4 model I have access to on Azure, so if there's any deal being cut here, it might involve dumbing down the model for paying Azure customers as well. Now, to be clear: I only started to get a feeling that GPT-4 on Azure is getting worse. I didn't do any specific testing for this so far, as I thought I may just be imagining it. This thread is starting to conv…

#117Yes. Before the update, when its avatar was still black, it solved pretty complex coding problems effortlessly and gave very nuanced, thoughtful answers to non-programming questions. Now it struggles with just changing two lines in a 10-line block of CSS and printing this modified 10-line block again. Some lines are missing, others are completely different for no reason. I'm sure scaling the model is hard, but they l…

Not necessarily American, you just have to avoid EU and, I believe, Russia/China/Cuba etc.
I'm in Switzerland and Bard is locked out, we do not go by EU laws because we are not part of the EU. We have plenty of bilateral deals but still.

Anyone know more about this?

#120Naturally, people feed it shit in order to bend results for others for their gain. Everyone who was in crypto manipulations, now rushed in this field, and they are extremely smart and extremely ruthless people, and they have no legal limits being anonymous, and almost unlimited funding they made in crypto. It reduces results quality, and also invokes countermeasures on their side to limit damage, that further reduces…
