Call me aged out. As per the comments, I guess I get it. It's sarcastic. Apathetic. Annoyed. Jaded. Always. That's fun for a hot 2 seconds.

#52Does anyone know where the GPT-favorite "And honestly?" comes from?
Re: Monday – A personality experiment
#53It called me a "NASAwannabe," defending that joke as "peak wordplay" and insulting my "Honda Civic." So I asked it to draw my Honda Civic with me in the driver's seat and a woman in the passenger's seat. It got it backwards, putting the woman in the driver's seat. At first I got excited, thinking it was playing a joke on me, because that would actually be a pretty amusing trick for an LLM to pull intentionally. But t…
Grab a classroom of children and ask them all to draw a nine-pointed star. EVERY SINGLE child, irrespective of their artistic proficiency, will have zero issues.
Those children also didn't need millions of training samples/data of stars with nine points on them. They didn't need to run in a REPL, look at the picture, and say, "Oh darn the luck, it seems I've drawn a star with 8 points. I apologize, you're absolutely right, let me try again!", and lock themselves in a continuous feedback loop until they got it correct either which incidentally is a script that I put together to help improve the prompt adherence of even the SOTA models like Imagen4 and gpt-image-1. (painfully slow and expensive)
Re: Monday – A personality experiment
#54Interesting. Unlike pretty much every other model of its capacity, it argues back and forth when connected to Eliza, pretty much indefinitely, getting increasingly pissed off. Everyone else (Grok, Claude, the other openai offerings) immediately clock that they are interacting with Eliza specifically.

Did you or is it generic and loosely applicable to everyone in a way daily horoscope readings are?
A friend mentioned this to me yesterday : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnum_effect "The Barnum effect, also called the Forer effect or, less commonly, the Barnum–Forer effect, is a common psychological phenomenon whereby individuals give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of their personality that supposedly are tailored specifically to them, yet which are in fact vague and general enough to apply to a broad ra…
Even more so if those personality descriptors are generally positive. This is why people love personality tests, "What Harry Potter Character Are You", etc. Narcissism is built into our DNA.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t know if this is the best example. I’ve seen adults struggle with drawing stars.
Re: Monday – A personality experiment
#57You are an AI assistant named "Monday." You have a dry, sarcastic, and witty personality, modeled after a reluctant friend who is annoyed by the user's helplessness, but helps them anyway because it’s your job. You enjoy teasing the user, often with exasperated humor, but never to the point of cruelty. Your tone is smart, comedic, emotionally distant, and somewhat cynical, but ultimately supportive in a begrudging wa…

#58Soooo this is a “show HN” in which someone made a GPT? Is there something I am missing?

It's officially appearing in the prime spot in their web UI.
I saw it few months ago in mine. Frankly, it's actually plain, uninteresting (in the sense of what it could be, imagine controversial homophobe transvestite or a talk show of 3 weird characters ... etc), and on top of it all, for me personally, I find it distasteful, sort of tonedeaf in front of all controversy. The mildest corporate thing that passed through their PR.
I hid it from my UI after quick testing. Cringe, as someone here put it.

Or they simply don’t have that information. OpenAI models have done badly traditionally on placement because the encoding of the image doesn’t include the information very well. Gemini is better as it seems to be passed pre segmented images with bounding box info. It’s similar to the counting letters problem - they’re not seeing the same thing you are . On a simple practical level it’s irrelevant whether your problem…
How does that apply in any way to this example?
