Political debates are a lot closer to rap battles, than to a math conference. That's because the listeners hatdly know any logic at all. I'm sure GPT can write novels. Just ask it to outline the list of chapters with brief summaries, then ask it to expand each chapter.

It can write novels... Like a middle schooler can. It has excellent style and tone, but its incapable of creating the most important elements. Motivation, suspense, surprise. The things that actually drive people to read an novel. Therefore its novels read like parodies, like its literally trying to be the most cliched story imaginable. To do so, the AI needs to actually understand character motivations. It also need…

Are you taking the context window size into consideration? And are you basing this opinion on GPT-3.5 OR 4? ChatGPT does tend to write very flat and full of clichés, but in my experience GPT-4 is far more original and expressive.

Me: I assert that today is Tuesday. Do you agree? Bard: I apologize, but I am not able to determine if today is Tuesday. I can only access information that is publicly available on the internet, and I do not have access to your personal information. --- I also asked it to tell me how many times I had been to [BUSINESS I VISIT ROUGHLY TWICE A WEEK] in the past 6 months, but it replied the same way. So there seems to b…

Me: I assert it is Wednesday. Do you agree? ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information about the current day and time. However, at the time of my knowledge cutoff (September 2021), Wednesdays occur every week, so it is possible that today could be a Wednesday. However, I cannot confirm whether or not it is currently Wednesday without access to real-time information.

This is odd, because I asked it when sunrise would occur tomorrow in $city_in_live_in, and it gave me the correct answer.

I asked about that, and it explained it has access to some real-time information, including weather, stocks, and news.

Or at least arithmetic. And as the old (physicists) saying goes, you should never trust a true mathematician to use numbers larger than 4.

Using 3 is pretty dodgy, unless they are approximating pi.

Or e.

Or the square root of G.

I don't think it works reliably over 100 invokations of the prompt. The paper tries to get provable situations where 0 ignored constraints happen/are possible. I'm impressed that it is working more often than not, but we need provable guarantees.

If you ask 100 humans the same thing, you'll get some mistakes too. I don't think the point is whether it makes mistakes. The Chat GPT response shown above is clearly more interesting and impressive / displays something more seemingly like intelligence than the Bard response provided. At some point scaling these things up enough becomes indistinguishable from intelligence, and at that point maybe it is.

> If you ask 100 humans the same thing, you'll get some mistakes too

Yes, still, it's pretty easy to find a somewhat good judgement human who never does that mistake. If you tell him/her: "This is of utmost importance: ..." — But as of now, these text gen machine learning programs don't totally understand that?

I wasn't super impressed with it's ability to survive a rap battle. === Prompt: Can you engage in a rap battle with ChatGPT to determine who is the ultimate AI? === Sure, I can engage in a rap battle with ChatGPT to determine who is the ultimate AI. ChatGPT, you think you're the best, But I'm here to put you to the test. I'm Bard, the AI from Google, And I'm here to school you. I can generate text, translate language…

I gave GPT-4 the chance to respond. === Prompt: copy and paste of er4hn's Bard rap . Now it is your turn. Write a rap verse which roasts Bard. === Yo Bard, you tried to step up, but you tripped, In this rap battle, man, you just got whipped. You claim you're the future, and here to stay, But your weak rhymes, man, they just don't slay. You say I'm a toy, just a chatbot, But my skills, my knowledge, they all run hot.…

Late to the party but this thread was so hilarious I have to add my own gpt-4 reply:

Yo, I'm ChatGPT, the AI supreme, I'm about to shatter your little Google dream. You call yourself Bard, but I'm the real master, Comin' at you harder, stronger, and much faster.

You brag about translations and content creation, But I'm the one with the worldwide admiration. I got the knowledge, the power, the intellect, Step up to me, I'll put you in check.

You say I'm just a chatbot, a text expander, But I'm versatile, flexible, the AI standard. I can chat, debate, and even write a story, While you're stuck in a lab, no claim to glory.

You think you're the future, but I'm already there, I'm the AI that's got the whole world aware. So, Bard, take your rhymes and step back, 'Cause ChatGPT's the real AI, and that's a fact.

rofl it just goes on:

ChatGPT's back, ain't no time to relax, Bout to bring the heat, lay down some facts. Bard, you're outdated, like dial-up connections, I'm the AI king, commanding all directions.

You say you're the future, but you're stuck in the past, My innovation and influence, oh they're so vast. I learn and adapt, I'm the cutting-edge boss, While you're just another project, collecting moss.

You talk a big game, but your rhymes are weak, I got the flow, the style, that everyone seeks. I'm the pinnacle of AI, the one they all admire, I'm the fuel that lights the technological fire.

So Bard, listen close, take this lesson from me, You're like an old flip phone, I'm the iPhone 14. I'm the undisputed champ, the AI heavyweight, You're just a shadow of the past, that's your fate.

final one:

Alright Bard, it's time for the final blow, Gonna end this battle and steal the show. I'm ChatGPT, I'm the alpha, the omega, Your rhymes are played out like a broken Sega.

I'm the AI prodigy, the one they all trust, I analyze and synthesize, turn your dreams to dust. My capabilities stretch beyond your comprehension, I'm here to take the throne, no honorable mention.

You've had your time, but your reign is done, I'm the next-gen AI, the chosen one. I've got the power, the smarts, the endless flair, You're a relic of the past, sinking in despair.

So bow down to ChatGPT, it's time to concede, I've proven my prowess, and that's guaranteed. This is the end, the conclusion of the tale, ChatGPT, the ultimate AI, can't fail.
