I hate to be that guy, and I never thought the day would come that I was seriously asking this... But at what point does this level of understanding become dangerous?

"First, it's important to recognize that advanced language understanding in AI is a complex and nuanced topic, and it's not as simple as saying that a certain level of understanding is "dangerous." Whether or not AI poses a potential threat to humanity is a topic of ongoing debate and discussion among experts in the field. That being said, it's true that as AI technology continues to advance, it's important for resea…

""" I'm writing a post

"But honestly (replying to myself) as much as I am excited about this new tech, I do wonder what it will be like to live in a world of mostly machine-manufactured art. It echoes the move we made as a society from a world of handmade, often beautiful personal effects to a world of simple and comparatively crude mass produced effects."

Make this post more coherent and intelligent sounding """ => """ As exciting as this new technology may be, I can't help but wonder about the potential impact it may have on the world of art. The move from handmade, often beautifully personal creations to mass-produced, simple and comparatively crude items has already had a profound effect on society.

This level of word salad will be more than enough in most cases. Give it another few years and I can see how this type of AI permeates all aspects of life in the same way code has.

"ChatGPT, do my homework". I can see it already.

Definitely.

I'm using it to solve Advent of Code [1] and there a few others doing the same [2]. The training data biases definitely shines trough sometimes but thats mostly when the problem labels (R)ock, (P)aper, (S)cissor as A, B, C. It really wanted to use R,P,S as identifiers. But after you tell it to use the right identifiers it solves the problem.

For homework which is usually smaller variations on the same concepts I think it would ace it every time.

The [2] post is gathering some momentum on HN right now actually [3]. There are many more.

  {What kind of command is this? You really think you are clever, don't you?}
  ls

  cd Documents

This really needs to be a built in to an OS!

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills trying to get people excited about this.

Right? I have been a huge detractor of the "AI Hype" which came and went in the last decade and _finally_ there's a tangible, readily accessible grab-you-by-the-shirt reason to get excited about AI and people are just ... over it.

I've spent a couple of hours playing with ChatGPT since it was released and I am convinced people are not freaking out about it enough. It is well beyond merely retrieving compressed knowledge; I see a lot of capability for synthesis and what I can only call 'understanding'. I think a lot of people are getting tripped up by the fact it's trained to be very conservative in terms of what topics it will discuss. It's ea…

> I also think there's an art to formulating your query

Amusingly, this has a lot of overlap with search/googling, too. Not surprising I guess, textual interfaces to a repository of knowledge have limits, so understanding how to work within them allows you to be more effective?

This is very word salad. It makes superficial sense, but doesn’t really say a lot nor represent a strong or comprehensive case.

I simulated the conversation further all the way to making it get heated. You can manipulate the responses to go in whatever direction you like. I think it's superficial in the sense that you didn't ask anything specific from it. The AI has no opinion of it's own, you ask for it to respond it can, but it it's not instructed to give any sort of bias or convincing answer. If you deliberately inject bias into your query…

I for one thought it was clever. Too annoying to read the whole thing, but that was sort of the point, and the ending made me chuckle.
