Me, as a meat popsicle, can you explain to me how the phrase “kind of” is not common? I feel like “kind of” is kind of a common adjective phrase, right?

You can entirely remove it from your speech and lose very little.

This is true in the narrow sense of it not changing the literal meaning of the sentence much. In a broader sense, using "kind of" a lot is part of a sociolect (in this caze zoomers) and you would lose some sense of beloning to that group by dropping it from your speech.

A chat is a chat is a chat. There is a setting in the app under data controls where you tell it not to use your charts for training.

The setting is only saved client side which is a very odd design decision. I guess they made it that way so that if you disable the flag at one point (yes, it's active by default), the change only effects future requests. This whole privacy situation with openai makes me really angry with Sam Altman, who seems not to care about that at all - this setting seems to be specifically designed to be privacy-disrespecting.…

What bothers me about HN currently is that the majority seems to not be bothered by it, stating that OpenAI tries to be ethical, that Sam can be trusted etc.

Has everyone forgotten about Google? Facebook? Every other SV Tech-Startup? Why would OpenAI be different?

"They're a non-profit". Yeah, sure. As if Wall Street, M$ et al would just not try to monopolize and commercialize AI as soon as possible.

callannie.ai has browser support, and video characters too

What does this have to do with ChatGPT with voice? Also this Call Annie requires Google sign in.

That person developed Call Annie, so it was probably just a way to plug their own solution :)

I’ve been using this for several weeks now and it’s replaced podcasts for me. I’ll just pick a topic and then ask for a summary and then ask clarifying questions. Other times I’ll just goof off. In one chat, I’m rewriting the Star Wars sequels movie by movie with ChatGPT. I’ve realized that I’m built to learn socially, and ChatGPT never tires of my questions or gets annoyed. One interesting story. My 15 year old kid…

How can you tell if ChatGPT is lying to you and what you're learning is total hogwash?

Might be able to ask the same question to someone listening to real podcasts.

It's a mistake to listen to a podcast to learn important information.

That's just like, your opinion, man. There are podcasts for almost every topic where experts are present. Journalists, Scientists, Activists, Researchers etc. can be heard in podcasts, I don't really see why it's generally a mistake to listen to a podcast to learn important information. During the pandemic my partner was attending university from home and listening to their professors via MS Teams, these classes were…

I think you know that isn’t a podcast in the sense that we’re discussing.

And depending on the class and the institution, I may still trust ChatGPT more than what gets taught.

People never consider the base rate. They compare AI things to gods rather than what it is replacing, which is usually a low-value wiki or podcast.

I imagine the stakes of rewriting the Star Wars films are sufficiently low that this risk is acceptable...

I’ll just pick a topic and then ask for a summary and then ask clarifying questions. Probably don't want to start quoting hallucinated facts!

I consider the information I’m receiving at a “water cooler” level of factual accuracy.

That said there are a few topics I’ve asked where I know enough to know (I had a grad degree in US history) and I’ve found it’s about on par with what you’d dig up through Google.

I’ve also found recently that it’ll state when it can’t equivocally say something. Or, in some cases, when I have misunderstood something and repeat it back incorrectly to try and clarify, it’ll correct me. 6 months ago, over text interface, it never would have corrected me: it almost always assumed the user was right and went along with it.

But again - it’s not like I’m fact checking Frank at the water cooler (or, often anyway). It’s shooting the shit and it’s great for that.

Every source of information has a bias, but with ChatGPT that's changing every time you hit "enter"

1. The primary source of bias will still be the person writing the prompt. The 'most probable completion' for the podcast will depend a lot on the setup. 2. I'm not sure it's going to vary more than a human day to day is it?

1. Absolutely not, ChatGPT has a mountain of biases that are simply _uncovered_ by prompting. To call this bias via prompting is intellectually dishonest.

2. No, ChatGPT is borderline schizophrenic. I trust a human and team of writers and producers to be more consistent in their bias and truthiness outright than a do a program that's trained on Reddit / Twitter and has almost no grounding.
