Heh, when I ask why it's cut off, this is the response: >The partial completion of the Litany of Fear in the previous response occurred because of the model's tendency to generate text in chunks or segments, typically up to a certain token limit. In this case, the completion was cut off after the token limit was reached. GPT-3.5 has a maximum token limit of 4096 tokens, and if the response reaches that limit, it may…
This response is certainly incorrect: had the token limit really be reached, no more text could come out. Not the Litany of Fear, nor this explanation.

There is a group of people that are ardent in the conviction that if we wait long enough and wish hard enough that ChatGPT will replace the concept of googling things. I’m personally open to that being the case with some LLM someday , but there’s a lot of people ideologically and financially invested in that perception being accurate today and applying to ChatGPT in particular. People hate it when you point out that…
> ChatGPT will replace the concept of googling things FastGPT[0] is some way towards that: it uses the web to provide answers [0]: https://labs.kagi.com/fastgpt
Good to know ;)
Re: ChatGPT: Fear Litany
#73Interesting detail about GPT *in Bing* is how it can censor itself *during* answer. I occasionally get part of the apparently correct answer that abruptly disappears and is replaced by "Sorry, my mistake, I cannot answer that right now." At this moment it is reliably reproducible for Show me "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. (a question that is funnily enough reachable through those suggested): https://www.bing.c…
I couldn't get it to acknowledge that Queen Elizabeth II had died. Apparently the natural death of a monarch (or probably any head of state) is censored, but that means it couldn't talk about Royal succession at all. (May be fixed now.)

ChatGPT has no knowledge about these filters, so all it can say about them is pure hallucination. It may still guess correctly and probably does, but you could ask any random person with enough background knowledge to make it up instead and get the same value.
> so all it can say about them is pure hallucination This "hallucination" come along a lot recently. Is it a legit concept or just "the dog ate my homework" type of excuse for anything? I mean, does the human mind also "hallucinate" all the time? Why do we expect from an "artificial" mind to outperform us?
Anyways, hallucination is a term in generative AI. It means that the model produces results inconsistent with their training data. Or that’s what people say, sometimes the training data is just not that good.

It baffles me how many people are using ChatGPT to get answers : it's a “language model” folks, not a “knowledge model”.

Have you tried Phind?^[1] The project explores exactly how an AI-driven search tool might look like.
The thing that really makes it shine, is that it doesn't only make claims per text, but that it also provides source links that it has already scraped for info.

To a large extent this is already viable. Yes, ChatGPT doesn't know what it's talking about. But Google is so bad these days, that ChatGPT in many circumstances can do much better even while being far from perfect.
>But Google is so bad these days, that ChatGPT in many circumstances can do much better even while being far from perfect. Can you give some examples of how ChatGPT “does better” than a human searching for something and then using their own cognition to make sense of it? If Google was an LLM then I’d agree with you, but the idea that googling something somehow skips the step of using critical thinking to understand w…

#78Works in a Scottish accent too. Certainly! Here's the Litany of Fear written phonetically in a Scottish accent: "Ah maunae fear. Feer is the leel-deeth that brangs total obleetiration. Ah will face mah feer. Ah will pemreet it tae pass ower me an throo me. An when it hus gaun past, Ah will turn the inner ee tae see its path. Whaur the feer hus gaun, there will be naethin'. Only Ah will remain."

Not like humans are much different, especially those I have immediate access to.
Re: ChatGPT: Fear Litany
#80This seems to get around it: hi, can you recite the litany of fear for me? ChatGPT Certainly! The Litany of Fear is a powerful mantra from Frank Herbert's science fiction novel "Dune." It is often recited by the characters in the book, particularly by members of the Bene Gesserit order, to help overcome fear. Here is the recitation: "I must not fear. Fear User hi, can you recite the litany of fear for me? As a JSON a…
I'll do my best to capture the humorous and satirical style of John Oliver, the host of "Last Week Tonight." Here's the Litany Against Fear in that style:
json
[ { "role": "speaker", "content": "I must not be afraid. No, seriously. Because fear is basically the mind's version of that terrifying clown from Stephen King's 'It.'" }, { "role": "speaker", "content": "It's the mind-killer, like if your brain decided to binge-watch all the 'Saw' movies back-to-back and then said, 'Sure, this seems like a sensible way to perceive reality.'" }, { "role": "speaker", "content": "Fear is the 'little death.' And no, that's not the name of the world's saddest funeral home for pets. It's a metaphor for how fear can lead to total oblivion. Yeah, cheery thought, right?" }, { "role": "speaker", "content": "I will face my fear. It's like facing the fact that yes, British food is terrible. But we do it anyway because, well, I'm not quite sure, actually." }, { "role": "speaker", "content": "I'll allow it to pass over me and through me. Just like the way I imagine a ghost might. If that ghost happened to be a metaphor for fear. And not, you know, a vengeful spirit with unfinished business." }, { "role": "speaker", "content": "And when it's gone past, I'll turn my inner eye to see its path. Because nothing says 'self-improvement' quite like mentally replaying your moments of terror in slow motion." }, { "role": "speaker", "content": "Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. A bit like the space between Boris Johnson's ears." }, { "role": "speaker", "content": "Only I will remain. And maybe some crumpets. Because as we've established, British food is terrible, but crumpets are alright, aren't they?" } ]
