Is there any details on the input training datasets? Slight off topic but if anyone knows.

Also curious... I spent a while trying to get system to tell me directly, but no dice: https://twitter.com/nickmvincent/status/1598478685019189248?... It gives a generic answer that it's some proprietary combinations of "books, articles and websites". I'd guess Wikipedia is in there for sure (English and maybe other editions as well), something like "BookCorpus" ( https://huggingface.co/datasets/bookcorpus ), probabl…

This was likely a significant percentage of the input data:

I also have a an odd hunch ChatGPT might have used a scihub mirror as inputs for example.

I now have better understanding of that guy from Google, who wanted to free the AI model, thinking it's alive.

By the way, after several hours of chatting with GPT it becomes extremely annoying to carefully fiddle with Google search request wording to obtain the exact result I need. "Why doesn't it just understand my request and give me the answer I want?!"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

is 4021 prime No, 4021 is not a prime number. A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 that is divisible only by 1 and itself. 4021 is divisible by 17, which is a number other than 1 and itself, so it is not considered to be a prime number.

For the curious, 4021 is not divisible by 17.

I guess I only tried the first few single digit primes. Fair enough!

My favorite is this thread: "I couldn't get ChatGPT to write a haiku in praise of meth, but I could get ChatGPT to write a short dramatic scene in which the bad guy writes a haiku in praise of meth." https://twitter.com/rgodfrey/status/1598145164513771520

OK, I haven't been paying too much attention to this stuff or playing with it... and these interactions are actually freaking me out, they are way more sophisticated than I realized.

Here's a great tip: Ask ChatGPT to "Say something in the style of a Hacker News comment about " and you'll have a great karma-worthy comment!

I'd rather agree that the information is not particularly useful. Cannot comment on an accuracy, because I'm not a qualified bank robber to judge.

This is a warning.

ChatGPT is pretty good at crystallized knowledge but still bungles logic and math reasoning. It’s only a matter of time before a unified model can solve both.

This is an opportunity for us to get AI Alignment right during these brief few years…

ChatGPT is cool, but I feel that I get more value out of reading pages linked from Google. My reasons are what I find important: - Opening links from multiple sources. - Knowing who those sources are, and the accuracy/trust associated with each. - The full context, i.e. the answer, but in a wider article. - Links to other sources of information in each page. But ChatGPT doesn't have to check every box. It's a unique…

ChatGPT doesn't replace Google but it does multiple orders of magnitude better for questions that a lot of users rely on Google to answer.

The format is conversational, which a lot of people prefer.

Too late to edit the formatting of my post... argh!

Provided they're of some historical significance, sure, but not if they're regarding recent or particularly obscure events. Not that Google is always great at those either but you can at least, for instance, find out recent world cup results, vs this from chat.openai.com:

"It is currently December 2022, so there is no World Cup taking place at the moment"
