I have several of these drawn just for Xmas and New Years' of 2015. I suppose I could ask GPT if it could update the year for the others. We'll see...
EDIT: Strange. I scheduled this for Friday, but it posted right away. I was hoping that the remaining kinks in the scheduler were worked out by now, but maybe not.
Yeah, I was a way more frequent user a bit more than a decade ago (my god), so I'm really rusty. I like to do small things now and then just to not get completely unfamiliar with the tool.
It's funny that GPT is struggling with following basic instructions. I'm in the camp of thinking it is fundamentally a bullshit machine, so I find it amusing just how incapable it is of not bullshitting for a second. And now it's exam season, and I'm about to spend 40 hours grading AI slop submitted by mediocre bachelor students that I didn't even teach myself. Bah.
In fact, I've found GPT surprisingly candid and useful in explaining areas where it's still limited, and in identifying its mistakes and why it made them. It's almost 'superhuman' in that regard, as I've found it rare as hens' teeth for people to both admit an error and then surgically explain where they went wrong. Meanwhile, I agree it has an hallucinogenic ("BS") aspect, but that's only one side of it. I find it's also super-good at summarising things based on its impressive 'search and synthesize' capabilities. When working with it, I just try to keep things as concise and technical as possible, not pushing it in to its more wonky areas. Frankly, so far it's been one of the most useful tools and aids I've ever used, altho I certainly couldn't say the same about others, like Gemini.
Yikes, I certainly don't envy that grading challenge, though. :S
