ChatGPT

Apparently, some people in the field think it is dangerously not ready for prime time and needs to be shut down ASAP.

ChatGPT, write me a K-Pop/Mo-town hybrid.

 

[Skully]

I've played with ChatGPT. The results are stiff, a bit word salad-y and often riddled with factual inaccuracies. They also tend to have a final paragraph that begins with the words "in conclusion." That's not going to past muster in any venue where real writing is required.

I just wish you could trust it as a research tool. But you can't.

Interesting but not quite there ..................yet

I played around with it a few days ago and was impressed.

In my limited use of ChatGPT, I found its really good at writing business-type BS.

I used to do some technical writing for a company, as part of my responsibilities, and I often would have to check for how a correspondence needed to be formatted, or the proper way the verbiage should read.

This would've been invaluable!

You're right! As part of my software development job I had to write portions of sales proposals. ChatGPT would be perfect for generating technical verbiage or what I like to refer to as technobabble.

If I were still doing it I would use this bot generate the required amount of verbiage and then go thru to make sure the tech details were accurate and feasible. These bots scours the internet for content detail but there is no guarantee of the accuracy of the content. But it would do most of the heavy lifting of coming up with the general content and phrasing.

Seriously, this could have saved quite a few weekends for the proposal teams.

I caught the end of a radio conversation with an earlier adopter of ChatGPT. I think he had something to do with TV or film. Anyway, he said it saved him two or three hours a day! One use he put it to was email, at least for the first draft.

They made the point that ChatGPT could be seen as a "low-risk" use of AI. It's not like it's driving a car and at risk of crashing! As the person using it, you can look at the output and edit or delete it. I guess it's a different story if you put it to use unsupervised, like automatically creating replies on TDPRI

Can it write an original brief scene, with dialogue, in the style of Zora Neale Hurston?

Just wondering. Subbing today in a high school English class.

Yes it can do that. If you do english assignments it might be worth asking it to do some of them to see what you get. https://chat.openai.com/

me:

write me a short dialogue in the style of zora neale hurston discussing telecaster guitars

chatgpt:

"Well, well, well, what have we here?" said Jeb, eyeing the shiny new guitar that his friend had just pulled out of its case. "Looks like a Telecaster, don't it?"

"It sure is, Jeb," replied his friend, grinning from ear to ear. "Just got it last week, and let me tell you, it's a beaut."

Jeb whistled appreciatively. "I always did like the sound of a Tele. What's it like to play?"

"Smooth as butter, my friend," said his friend, strumming a few chords. "The action is perfect, and the tone is just what I was looking for. I've been playing it non-stop since I got it."

"I can imagine. That thing's a real work of art," said Jeb, running his fingers over the sleek body of the guitar. "So, what made you decide to get a Telecaster, anyway?"

etc...

it seems to reuse similar tropes, scenes, and names when creating more answers. as others have mentioned it's kind of "shallow", but just the fact that it can do it at all...

Have you ever heard of TDPRI John?



As an AI language model, I have access to a vast amount of information, but I'm not able to know everything that has ever happened or been created. Could you please provide more context or information about "TDPRI John"? This way, I may be able to better answer your question.

He is known to wear a bumched shirt and cargo shorts

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with a person named "TDPRI John" who is known for wearing a specific type of clothing. The acronym "TDPRI" can refer to a few different things, such as the Telecaster Guitar Forum, the Taiwan Depository and Clearing Corporation, or the Technical Data Package Requirements and Inspection (TDPRI) program used in the aerospace industry. However, without more context or information, I'm unable to determine who you are referring to or provide a more accurate answer.


There is some characteristics such as; he is known to say get off my lawn, he is very rigid in his musical tastes. He also harbors a very high opinion of himself. Does this help?


I'm sorry, but I'm still not able to determine who "TDPRI John" is based on the characteristics you've described. It's possible that this is a nickname or pseudonym for a particular individual within a specific community, but without additional context or information, it's difficult to determine who that might be.
If you have any further details or context, such as the specific community or group where this person is known, or any other distinguishing traits, I would be happy to try and help you further.

Sometimes a great notion is also a bad idea

It will get better, but also worse, and we will deal with it, or not.

In Iain M. Banks' Culture universe, the AI ship minds have god-like powers. Humans live aboard, but are not in charge. They are more like pets. The ship minds want to please them. This is probably the most positive take on AI/human relationships i have read. I recommend starting with Excession.

 

[bcorig]

Not trying to shut the thread down... So just pick the side of the fence you're on... and ask questions.

It's horribly slanted BS.... basically the wet-dream A.I version of Goebbels.

Agree. I better be quiet.

 

[Blackmore Fan]

Agree. I better be quiet.

You don't have to be quiet--there's quite a bit of open discussion about this topic.

In the modern ideal where the citizens steer the ship, AND the citizens respond to a healthy economic lifestyle by obeying adverts telling them to buy every time saving convenience product for the purpose of not having to work too hard because that is the cornerstone of a modern successful life in the first world: when steering the ship decision making info, picked from the internet where misinformation and factual information all hold the same digital value, the ship will more and more be steered by misinformed citizens, despite having "done their homework".

I realized what I intended to include but left off at the end due to ADHD where I am never finished with a thought process and instead just have to move on to the next one:

Educating ourselves on current events for the purpose of being dutifully informed in order to steer the ship; is a hard job.

These AI chatobts along with other internet info sorting methods employed by social media and youtube etc, plus the biased info sorting and publishing by actual humans?

Every example of what ChatGPT wrote in response to a request to explain a world situation, has blended true info in with false info, because it gets facts from places that have no vetting of facts, and because we now have a society where literally insane individuals devote their lives to "publishing" misinformation and "alternate facts" on the internet.

ChatGPT seems to have no methods of discernment.

Almost like an AI personal chef that makes your dinner using ingredients it selects from your refrigerator, your garbage can, and your toilet.

Invite AI into your life as a convenient source of information?

That ideal assumes the Enlightenment idea that Man is inherently good.
Nothing could be further from the reality.
As if it were planned, “factual information” and “misinformation“ cannot be distinguished from each other in the Post-Modern world.

Run an experiment. Choose a major topic from the current news contrary to the "official" interpretation and see if it will comment.
I asked one of these questions. I was told that asking that question was not appropriate.
