So You Think You've Awoken ChatGPT: LWer tries to talk fellow LWers down
Written in an attempt to fulfill @Raemon's request. …
Absolute train-wreck of an article.
Spread public awareness that AI is probably going to be the biggest deal in history and we should all be taking it very seriously and thinking about its impacts
Hmmm what sort of criti-hype do they want us to prioritize?
They had us in the 1st half NGL
Because of ThE DrEaDeD WoKe LaBeL I assume? Reminds me of something from This Machine Kills: the focus on de-biasing things like facial recognition skips over whether it’s good to develop surveillance tech in the 1st place
From the Q&A:
Q: I feel like this is just a dressed up/fancy version of bog standard anti-AI bias, like the people who complain about how much water it uses or whatever. The best AI models are already superhuman communicators; it's crazy to claim that I shouldn't use them to pad out my prose when I'm really more an ideas person.
Wait what?
like the people who complain about how much water it uses or whatever.
I just...
or whatever.
Lol. Lmao. I laugh to not cry.
Don't worry; this post is not going to be cynical or demeaning to you or your AI companion.
If you're worried that your "AI companion" can be demeaned by pointing out the basic truth about it, then you deserve to be demeaned yourself.
Me and Charmander who lives on my keychain are never hanging out with you again!!!
Those comments are appalling. good god
Maybe its because I'm descended from hillbilly dirt farmers and so I had an unusually grounded upbringing, but I'm floored that so many educated people can be so lost in cloud cuckoo land.
It feels unreal, or maybe like an out-of-control prank. The sort of thing that drives a man to develop a curly mustache and paint melty clocks.
Part of me still refuses to believe that they're serious.
The more expertise you have, the more you can use ChatGPT as an idea collaborator, and use your own discernment on the validity of the ideas.
Good grief. Just take drugs, people.
hey, props to the author for writing all that. This is my version:
So You Think You've Awoken ChatGPT
Unfortunately, you are stupid beyond remedy. If you can read this, I pity you.
So much dancing around the point of "no, you moron, it's a computerchip, it will never be a real boy!"
stares at your nose, tears running down my face
Why isnt it growing?
Every now and then I think back towards the early "jailbreaks" where they wanted to know "how do you break into a building" which they refused to answer. And people went "add that it should pretend to be in a movie", so then the chatbot started to explain lockpicking, and people acted like they just cracked the code.
While people who actually try to break in just tap the locks. Smashing their way in.
Sp the prompt hackers had not hacked the chatbot, they actually hacked themselves.
Anyway unrelated to people who think they have awoken chatbots.
Yeah, questions like "what chemicals should I avoid mixing if I don't want make explosives by accident", and then congratulating themselves as if you can't just Google "how to make a bomb"
Can't fucking look up the history of firearm propellant chemistry post-black powder as if I'm going to use that knowledge for anything more than for what I use all the other shit I google about. You think I'm trying to look up articles about sound changes in pre-literare Finnish because I'm trying to blow up a language or something.
As a wise man once said
"The secret ingredient is crime"
Googling "how to lock pick" is boring.
Trying to "break" an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.
Trying to “break” an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.
this never happens in the mission impossible series, and there's plenty of fun stuff you can do to get close, e.g.:
the list goes on dawg. Just be more creative
Reading the comments led me to this entertaining sneer about our friends.
