ChatGPT, anyone use it?

[Pommie]

ChatGPT is very very impressive. Anyone that wants to try it go to https://openai.com/, register and then ask it anything you want.
Someone asked about IOT on the forum and I replied with ChatGPT's answer. I'm impressed.

Edit, this probably sets a bad precedent, that was not my intention but to show how useful this thing could be.

 

[For The Popcorn]

A friend of mine asked it to write a simple program in Swordfish Basic. The first attempt had a few key words wrong but was fundamentally correct. The second attempt look like working code to me. Maybe XxXXX (he whose name I shall not mention again) should give it a try

 

[narkeleptk]

I use it for some things. It has its uses but it likes to make things up often so you still need to be pretty familiar with what your doing with the bot or its just going to lead you down the wrong path.

As good as it is at stringing together words, and as amazing as this tech is, you can really see the limitations to where it really has no idea what it is saying or doing, and just blurting gibberish, also proof that it is far from sentient.

Hi M,
That's what I used to convert 'C' to BASIC, in a project that you know about.

The ChatGPT is impressive, but according to the tech freaks it can't replace the humans. Though, we hear that lot of the jobs in US has been taken over by Artificial Intelligence. I felt that it can do some good work, by giving on answers that are more precise than Bing or Google. But, it has a long way to go ahead.

In my opinion, nothing is possibly take over the work (at least in near future) that a human does with sophistication. But, if anyone can answer, can the AI (something that's ChatGPT sort) make circuits by itself if someone asks to do?

Tech "freaks"?

Hi E,
Or build a car?

Not sentient ? It is learning at an exponential rate. It has code to avoid killing humans,
because it will figure out most of the destruction on earth is human originated. But how
soon will its logic point out time to change its own code base.

Lets say it never becomes sentient, but you have cancer, it has read 10's of millions of
x-rays and chemical test results and.....then we come to rely on it. So who is the master ?

What if its hooked up to a factory of robots (we already have robots building cars) and
it is numero uno manager, who has control now .....? Or in control of a weapons factory,
who is the boss ?

And if you truly do value life would you not eliminate humans, after all history and 1 billion + deaths
at the hands of humans does that not want one to leave the earth back to the species that builds
nests, not tear them down ? Or at least lobotomize all humans to turn them into robots....
Save the ducks and squirrels. Just asking for a friend.


Regards, Dana.

HAL 2000 anyone?

• “I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that,”
• “I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.”

Hi,
The genie's out of the bottle, so !?!?.
C.

 

[schmitt trigger]

Exactly, the Genie is out of the bottle.
My greatest fear? That free societies, with their open information structure, will be VERY vulnerable to disinformation chatbots made with the sole purpose of creating divisiveness and conflict.

These types of “gray ops” are not new, the British during WW2 used it with great effects.
But AI can, and will, empower them to unimaginable heights.

I doesn't even take a chatbot. Look at the latest news about Fox news and them having to pay $787.5M for lying to the public.

 

[Lightium]

When I was young, I used to go to the library.

 

[tepalia02]

Yes I do. But I need to be always careful about the info it gives.

 

[camerart]

Hi,
On the brighter side.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but AGI (general) is the dangerous one.

AI, as in chatGPT, which specialises in characters, but can't control a robot.
So any specialist AI will be very useful.
An example would be 'say' a medical one, that get's diagnosis and experiences from doctors, so build up it's 'skills' and remember them into the future, where doctors die, and take their skills with them. Then anyone could ask it about symptons they have, and after a series of questions, the AI would try to figure out the problem.

One can easily think about the cyclic truth war when one chatbot is used for truth, and
to attack the non truth AI, but then as they go back and forth slowing and inevitably
increasing the entropy of the planet towards ultimate destruction of all knowledge. The
doomsday weapon revealed.

[schmitt trigger]

Exactly;
a chain reaction of information overload.

We are seeing this already, but it will be multiplied exponentially.

 

[Pommie]

Seems the makers of this stuff are getting worried!

Watching a documentary on training troops in Ukraine, absolutely horrendous. Seems humans can still excel over AI in some situations.
