Thread: ChatGPT is going to take over the world

Been using it a while. It's brilliant. Can write lesson plans in seconds, write full texts suitable for whatever age I ask, and gives feedback.

I typed a student's work into it and it gave decent feedback with examples.

For education it's groundbreaking.

Disruptive is probably a better word...

Kids are using it to do their homework.

Their brains are already wired to store little information because it's all accessible from a smartphone.

The New York City Department of Education has banned access to ChatGPT, an AI-driven chatbot prototype, from school-owned networks and devices, citing unspecified concerns about its potential to undermine student learning.

Launched by the San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research firm OpenAI last November, ChatGPT can execute various tasks including answering follow-up questions, challenging incorrect premises, admitting to mistakes and rejecting inappropriate requests, according to a company blog. The tool uses reinforcement learning from human feedback and is fashioned after OpenAI’s InstructGPT, a tool that follows instructions and provides detailed responses.

According to an email from NYC DoE spokeswoman Jenna Lyle, the department blocked the tool in December after schools requested that it do so. Some educators have expressed concern about the potential for AI to enable cheating by writing essays for students, and Lyle said the negatives of ChatGPT outweigh the positives.

It's far more than a chatbot.

It's going to decimate the coding market.

I like that it's actually telling people how to use it.

“State and local leaders should approach the regulation of AI systems, such as myself, in a thoughtful and measured way,” it wrote. “It is important to recognize the potential benefits that AI can bring in terms of improving efficiency, accuracy and decision-making, as well as the potential risks and challenges that it may pose. As such, leaders should consider implementing regulations that balance the need to promote the use of AI with the need to protect the public and ensure that AI systems are used responsibly.”

One step closer to SkyNet becoming self-aware

I just typed in "Write me a script for a murder mystery movie"....

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Title: "The Unsolved Murder"
Fade in:
INT. OLD MANSION - DAY
We see a grand old mansion with a sign that reads "Whispering Pines." We hear the sound of a car pulling up and a car door slamming shut.
Cut to:
INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY
We see a group of people sitting in a living room. They all look nervous and uneasy.
HOST (50s, well-dressed)Welcome, everyone, to Whispering Pines. I've gathered you all here today because I have a proposition for you.
The group looks at each other, confused.
HOST (CONT'D)I want to put on a murder mystery game. Each of you will be given a character and a motive. One of you will be the murderer, and the rest of you will have to figure out who it is.
The group starts to get excited.

Etc.


It finishes:

Note: The script is a rough skeleton for a murder mystery movie, to make it a complete script additional characters, scenes, and subplots need to be added.

Try: "Write some java script to automate water heater control"

"send unlimited reds with giant ladyboy porn jpegs"

"shut down a computer system via sending a negative repo"


It's good alright.

ChatGPT is at capacity right now
Get notified when we're back

Amazing.

AI is perfect for halfwits who start out with zero intelligence. The internet has had a few decades in which to direct the current generation to the easy option with little or no effort or thinking required on their part.

The few people who are still capable of independent thinking will soon die out, despite the obvious dangers and unpredictable dangers of the ultimate meltdown. Just as the world is waking up to the dangers of slavery, some lazy halfwits will sleepwalk into a barren future.

No need for people to think or make decisions. AI will do it all for you!

Reading dismally written crap like this is, of course, the ultimate advertisement for CHATGPT.

No it isn’t.

It's a step in the direction of AI but there's still a long way to go before it dumbs down humanity. At the moment it sounds like a sophisticated knowledge base that can be fed all sorts of data to help people in the future. That data still needs human input and so it's more like artificial memory than artificial intelligence. Admittedly, sometimes ot is difficult to distinguish between the two.

I shall give it a trial when I'm back in Germany.

It's a long way off completely taking over my thinking, but it does speed up some research and does it better than google does.

ChatCGT says "This statement is a highly negative and generalized view of the use of AI in society. While it is true that AI can simplify certain tasks and make them more efficient, it does not necessarily mean that it is only beneficial for those with low intelligence or that it will lead to a lack of independent thinking. AI can also be used to enhance and augment human capabilities, allowing for more complex and nuanced decision making. Additionally, it's important to note that the use of AI and the development of these technologies is a collaborative effort between humans, and it is not something that is being done solely by the machines.Furthermore, the idea of an "ultimate future" due to the use of AI is an overstatement, and it's important to consider the potential benefits that AI can bring to society such as improving healthcare, education, and transportation. The key is to use AI in a responsible and ethical way, taking into account the potential risks and working to mitigate them."

I get all my witty replies from it.
In fact I got this one from it. Should I ask for my money back?

I agree, unless Google adapts, it will put them out of business.

You don't honestly think Google have been sitting on their hands, do you?

AI is already involved in most of their products.

No I am sure they are working on it, but I don't see how their business model can survive.
Of course these are early days , but Open AI is the opposite of proprietary algorithms.
So It would be interesting to see.

So you would pay for a subscription search engine would you?

also, AI means you don't click adds. that is also their core business

Same question to you.
