#42> ChatGPT is, in technical terms, a 'bullshit generator'. This bs generator speeded up my coding by 10-20x. It's like a superpower... not talking about ChatGPT specifically but its stochastic parrot cousin (Copilot).
GPT has been great for exploring new frameworks too. Copilot is amazing when I know what roughly what I'm doing, but GPT is like personalized framework / API documentation at times

Well said. I too use copilot and it has save me so much time. I can actually travel with ease and code with less stress. I love it.

#44It has lots of value. But it's not the AI it pretends to be. Mostly because we and it can't always tell what's fact or fiction and it has 0 cognition. It's up to us to figure out where it can add value. It's way too early to announce its death.
It's a super charged Cliff Clavin.

yep, it's great for scaffolding and used as an interactive stackoverflow

#46> If it produces plausible articles or computer code it means the inevitable hallucinations are becoming harder to spot. How functional does the code have to be before it's no longer a hallucination? What if we are all not much more than only drawing "on the (admittedly vast) proportion of [our experiences] ingested at training time?
>How functional does the code have to be before it's no longer a hallucination?
IDK, I haven't tried copilot, but does the code it generates work on the first try with no human intervention?
>What if we are all not much more than only drawing "on the (admittedly vast) proportion of [our experiences] ingested at training time?
ugh, this argument again. Despite the machine learning community using words such as "training" and "learning" to describe the way they tune parameters, it has never been proven that any existing AI resembles human cognition. This is something that needs to be demonstrated empirically.

#47Maybe what we really want from AI really is a bull shit generator that we point at other humans?

#48With 100% certainty Donald Trump has said more lies/bullshit than ChatGPT (porcentually speaking for all his public statements) and he became President of the US, some said due malice, others from stupidity, and some from both; where does people like him fall under the implied fantasy by this article that humans do better than to make "good guess(es) to pass your sense-making filter"? The social beneffits of people like him are less than speculative and the damages are empirically demostrated.
The nerve of talking about "ghost work" for $2 while publishing a page on the internet, where a giant chunk of the hardware used to mantain and use such network is made with raw materials mined and refined with slave labor, and even the parts where is debatable if it constitutes slave labor are jobs that people would never chose over the content filtering for $2.

Exactly. Since when do we as a society punish BS?

#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does TikTok, Android/Google,Instagram use make the same friends and family think about privacy and data? From a cursory look at...nearly everyone...i'd say the answer is a resounding no
Privacy concerns and ChatGPT have different failure modes. If ChatGPT fabricates a link or makes something up, there's a potential feedback mechanism. E.g. I ask ChatGPT to explain a science term, and then I get told that my understanding is incorrect in class when I use the ChatGPT definition. It doesn't exist for every use case, but I'm hopeful everyone will be "bitten" once by ChatGPT etc., and then folks will ver…
This doesn't seem much different to me than how people should use wikipedia. It looks like it will be a useful tool to use, you just can't be careless.
