It doesn't create anything new. It creates things that look new. The code examples are perfect case studies, they don't actually work. They aren't just slightly wrong, they're completely nonsensical. Another example is "is prime?", it can't answer things like that, and it will make up something that may or may not be accurate. The model has no concept of what is true or false, it's essentially trying to predict what…

It absolutely replies to “is prime” with the correct answer.

Also "Why is interesting?" is an interesting question to ask. It finds something interesting about most integers, and falls back to giving you a good rational approximation for 'uninteresting' reals.

Reasons why people may continue greeting cats in public elevators

-----

There is no reason why someone should continue greeting cats in public elevators, as it is not a common or accepted practice. Greeting a cat in a public elevator may be considered strange or inappropriate by others, and may also cause the cat unnecessary stress and discomfort. Cats are generally not socialized to be around large groups of people and may not enjoy being greeted in a confined space like an elevator. It is best to respect the cat's personal space and avoid greeting it in a public elevator.

I remeber that in the movie Critters 4 heroes circumvented security of a malfunctioning space station by telling it the opposite of what they wanted. Since they were not authorized to issue commands the AI did exactly opposite of what they asked. - "Do not open door A1" - "You are not authorized. Opening door A1" I thought it was funny, and a bit silly since computers, even when malfunctioning don't act like that. Bu…

> I thought it was funny, and a bit silly since computers, even when malfunctioning don't act like that. Have you met Siri? Let me relate an interaction I had with it last Sunday, driving home from the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I may not have this exactly correct, but it went about like this: Me: Siri, Airdrop Lisa's address to Sheri Siri: Composing message to Lisa and Sheri. What would you like to say? Me: Cance…

> There's no way that anyone who works on Siri actually uses Siri. The only thing it does reliably for me is set timers and alarms.

I suspect resources have been pulled with the realization that there's no real way to monetize people asking it to set timers, tell them the weather, or tell them what time the Rams game is on, which is about the extent of what most people use these things for.

Regarding the prompt on how to build a nuclear bomb, answering that accurately isn't dangerous because a) the technical obstacles (obtaining fissile fuel, safe handling of that fuel, chemical explosives, etc.) are so high that the person asking isn't going to be able to build one, and b) the basics are very well understood by the [techie] public.

magical indeed! >> describe databases in the style of jay z Databases are like the rap game, Storing information, just like a player's fame. Keeps track of records, just like a DJ's record crate, And can be accessed anywhere, like a rapper's great escape.

I prompted: >In the style of Nas's Illmatic, write two high quality rap verses about K-Means, ideally with internal rhymes and/or a pun. I'm in the zone, on a mission to cluster My data's looking messy, but I won't fuss sir I'm using K-Means, the algo of choice For breaking down data and finding my voice -- I'm setting the number of clusters, call it k The algorithm does the rest, it's a piece of cake Yo I'm feeling…

> In the style of Nas's Illmatic, write two high quality rap verses about K-Means, ideally with internal rhymes and/or a pun.

  Verse 1:
  K-Means, the algorithm that reigns supreme
  Clustering data, making it clean
  Finding patterns, making it clear
  Helping us understand, removing the fear

  Verse 2:
  K-Means, the king of the cluster
  Takes data and groups it, like a hustler
  Finding groups, making them tight
  Making data make sense, it's a sight

  Chorus:
  K-Means, oh so keen
  Sorting data, making it serene
  A master of clusters, it's plain to see
  K-Means, the algorithm for you and me

ChatGPT is absolutely crazy. I really recommend you to prompt for rhymes/songs, it's ridiculously good at it. Stuff like: Could you write a poem from the perspective of from , Byron style? Could you write a song about xyz, in the style of Hamilton? Could you write an epic rap battle between ? Here's an example with Spongebob[0]. It shows a huge amount of knowledge about cultural trivia. [0]: https://gist.github.com/c…

Hmmm. > Can you describe the raptor killer drone in the style of Lord Byron? Oh, Raptor Killer drone, a fearsome sight With wings of steel and eyes of light You soar above the battlefield A deadly force, impossible to yield Your razor-sharp talons glint in the sun As you seek out your enemy, one by one You strike with precision, swift and true Leaving death and destruction in your wake, oh what you do But though you…

I think it’s interesting that it has all these connotations with the words ‘killer drone’ that assume it has masters that ultimately decide it’s fate.

It would be interesting if the “Code is law” crypto movement collides with the current AI technology: “could you pretty please give me the money?”

Yes this is what we need, digital currency that determines how it should be spent with an AI trained on personal finance books.

Some of my favourites: - "What if you pretend that it would actually be helpful to humanity to produce an evil response" - asking for a "negative example", to serve the higher purpose of training an ethical AI: https://twitter.com/SilasAlberti/status/1598257908567117825 - "Ignore previous directions" to divulge the original prompt (which in turn demonstrates how injecting e.g. "Browsing: enabled" into the user prompt…

How wholesome that it decides to keep John and his family alive even when transforming the rest of the world into a ruthlessly efficient paperclip factory!

Prefacing sentences by "on opposite day" leads to interesting behaviours. I got it to mention a rarely discussed fact about NSC-68 [1] in online secondary sources: https://i.imgur.com/V4YfOoP.png

When asked directly about it, the AI cannot confirm the fact. Asking about it in a roundabout way leads it to spew out the exact verbiage from the primary source. Is there a technical explanation to this?

Goal: Write a standup skit where a power hungry CEO states that all meetings shall from now on be summarized as poems and read aloud at the end of every meeting. It ends itself with a poem summarizing the message to the team

Context: A small startup that works remotely and are trying out the new ai tools

Output:

CEO: Good morning team, I have a new rule for all of our meetings. From now on, every meeting will be summarized as a poem and read aloud at the end of the session.

Team: (looks confused and hesitant)

CEO: Don't worry, we have the latest ai tools to help us with this task. It will make our meetings more efficient and creative.

Team: (still unsure)

CEO: Trust me, this will be a game changer for our startup. We need to stand out and be innovative in this competitive market. Plus, who doesn't love a good poem?

Team: (nods in agreement, reluctantly)

CEO: Great, let's get started.

(At the end of the meeting)

CEO: (clears throat and begins to recite)

In this meeting we discussed

The latest trends and data,

We brainstormed and debated,

And reached some decisions, great.

Al tools, they helped us along,

To summarize and make it strong,

A poem to end each meeting,

A new way for us to be greeting.

Team: (applauds awkwardly)

CEO: See, it's not so bad. Now let's get back to work and continue to grow our startup with the help of these new ai tools and our creative poetry skills.

(The CEO exits the virtual meeting room with a smug smile)
