a lot of jobs are being replaced by AI already... comms/copywriting/customer service/off shored contract technicals roles especially.

No they aren't. Some jobs are being scaled down because of the increased productivity of other people with AI, but none of the jobs you listed are within reach of autonomous AI work with today's technology (as illustrated by the AirCanada hilarious case).

Doesn't the Air Canada case demonstrate the exact opposite, that real businesses actually are using AI today to replace jobs that previously would have required a human?

Furthermore, don't you think it's possible for a real human customer service agent to make such a blunder as what happened in that case?

Opus (and all prior Claude models) still do not correctly answer the Sally question, unfortunately: Q: Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have? A: Okay, let's organize the information we have: Sally is a girl. Sally has 3 brothers. Each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters. Now, let's think about this step by step: We know that Sally is a girl, so she is a sister to he…

This is definitely a problem, but you could also ask this question to random adults on the street who are high functioning, job holding, and contributing to society and they would get it wrong as well. That is not to say this is fine, but more that we tend to get hung up on what these models do wrong rather than all the amazing stuff they do correctly.

> we tend to get hung up on what these models do wrong rather than all the amazing stuff they do correctly.

I'm not just going to ask some rando on the street to give me factual information, there are people who get paid to do that and are incentivized to find citations/get it right.

You can make a human do the same task as an LLM: given what you've received (or written) so far, output one character. You would be totally capable of intelligent communication like this (it's pretty much how I'm talking to you now), so just the method of generating characters isn't proof of whether you're intelligent or not, and it doesn't invalidate LLMs either. This "LLMs are just fancy autocomplete so they're not…

The question isn't whether LLMs can simulate human intelligence, I think that is well-established. Many aspects of human nature are a mystery, but a technology that by design produces random outputs based on a seed number does not meet the criteria of human intelligence.

Why? People also produce somewhat random outputs, so?

Kagi's expert mode managed to handle this (rest directly from the chat):

Based on the search results, we can break this down step-by-step:

    Sally has 3 brothers.
    Each of Sally's brothers has 2 sisters.
    Since all the brothers share the same 2 sisters, we are hearing about the same 2 sisters each time, not additional sisters.
    We know Sally is one of the 2 sisters that each brother has.
    Therefore, there must be one other sister that the brothers have besides Sally.
In conclusion, Sally has 1 sister. The key thing to understand here is that when it says "each brother has 2 sisters", it is referring to Sally and one other sister that all the brothers share.

If you showed someone this article 10 years ago, they would say it indicates Artificial General Intelligence has arrived.

there likely was enough marketing material from corps 10 years ago which looked like AGI arrived, Watson I think.

You often have to be a subject expert to be able to distinguish genuine content from genuine-sounding guff, especially the more technical the subject becomes. That’s why a lot (though not all!) of the over-the-top LLM hype you see online is coming from people with very little experience and no serious expertise in a technical domain. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck… …possibly it’s just an LLM trained…

Arguably, many C-suite executives and politicians are also examples of having an amazing ability to speak and interpret natural language while lacking in other areas of intelligence.

I have previously compared ChatGPT to Boris Johnson (perhaps unfairly; perhaps entirely accurately), so I quite agree!

GPT4 API and ChatGPT both get it wrong: "Sally has 2 sisters. Each of her brothers has 2 sisters because Sally and her 2 sisters make up the group of siblings each brother has." GPT4 w/ CoT system prompting gets it right: SYS: "You are a helpful assistant. Think through your work step by step before providing your answer." USER: "Sally (a girl) has 3 brothers. Each brother has 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally h…

Did you use GPT3.5 for chat? I just tried it on vanilla ChatGPT using GPT4 with no extra stuff and it immediately gets the correct answer: "Sally has 3 brothers, and each of them has 2 sisters. The description implies that Sally's brothers are her only siblings. Therefore, the two sisters each brother has must be Sally and one other sister. This means Sally has just one sister."

But the second sentence is incorrect here! Sally has three siblings, one is her sister, so her brothers are not her only siblings. So ChatGPT correctly gets that Sally has one sister, but makes a mistake on the way.

Just added Claude 3 to Chat at https://double.bot if anyone wants to try it for coding. Free for now and will push Claude 3 for autocomplete later this afternoon. From my early tests this seems like the first API alternative to GPT4. Huge!

How do you guys compare to codium [0]? Also, any plans to support vim/neovim integration (codium has pretty good support in place [1]). Thanks. [0] - https://www.codium.ai [1] - https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.vim

Do note that Codium and Codeium are two completely separate companies. They work in related fields but have very different approaches.

Dear Claude 3, please provide the shortest python program you can think of that outputs this string of binary digits: 0000000001000100001100100001010011000111010000100101010010110110001101011100111110000100011001010011101001010110110101111100011001110101101111100111011111011111

Claude 3 (as Double AI coding assistant): print('0000000001000100001100100001010011000111010000100101010010110110001101011100111110000100011001010011101001010110110101111100011001110101101111100111011111011111')
