There's really nothing they can do, that's just the current state of LLMs. People are insane, they can literally talk with something that isn't human. We are literally the first humans in human experience to have a human-level conversation with something that isn't human.... And they don't like it because it isn't perfect 4 years after release.
Using fancy predictive text is not like talking to a human level intelligence.
You've bought into the fad.
In terms of language, Chatgpt is more advanced than most humans. Have you spoken to the average person lately? By average I mean worldwide average.
It's obviously not full human intelligence, but in terms of language it is pretty mind blowing.
Text prediction != Intelligence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room
Does it need to be real intelligence in order to have a conversation with it?
Behold, AI!
Nobody has said that an LLM is real artificial intelligence.
I love how much you're walking back your own statements. Lmao
You just inflated my initial statement by assuming I meant that Chatgpt is smarter than humans. I said that Chatgpt is more advanced than the average human at linguistics, and I stand by it. Show me where I said "Chatgpt is smarter than a human" or "this is real simulated human intelligence". You just wanted to be angry at someone so you made your narrative in your mind.
I even said that it doesn't need to be real intelligence in order to be capable of having a conversation.
You'll probably keep creating your imaginary narrative, so there's no point in arguing with you.
Good bye.
You, sir, are an idiot.
I don't care what you think, your attitude is disgusting.
Attitude doesn't have anything to do with fact.
Personal attacks and insults, what a disgusting person.
Facts are not personal attacks.
What fact?
Oh, now you can't read too? Ok.
You haven't said a single fact. All you do is assume things and insult people who don't agree with you.
Never understood this argument. It has nice rethorics but proves nothing. the problem with text prediction != intelligence is that we can't even define intelligence. I hate AI as much as the next guy here, but that doesn't mean we should do lazy assertions and quoting dumb arguments.
ChatGPT has given me verifiably false information plenty of times. It's amazing how it's gets things right, but also amazing how it can get basic stuff completely wrong.
So... Humans get basic things right all the time and never provide false information? What humans are you talking to?
If you think everyone around you is dumber than a text app, you might be the problem.
"a text app"... Sure, it is a text app. Definetely not revolutionizing the tech industry as we speak, totally irrelevant. Sure.
If you believe jumping on a corporate fad race bandwagon for enshittification to be "revolutionizing" I guess you're not wrong.
Then again you also believe that people are dumber than text predictive software.... So yeah. Lmao
I have never said that Chatgpt is smarter than humans, I said that when it comes to linguistics, it is more advanced than the average human.
But keep twisting my words, I don't care. Have a wonderful rest of the week. Good bye.
Have a nice day sir.
"I'm Plumba, my brain is so numba I believe anything tech ads will tell me, and I'll defend them till my dying day.
And or at gates give me migrates, I don't understand how it programmates. I fail at responding to words, just like those fake AI turds, so I'll just tell you good day sir"
👍
Yeha, and walk everywhere. Use a boat with paddles. Don't be lazy.
I don't like it because it's going to be used to make the life of the working class worse.
Does it matter if it is actually experiencing things? What matters is what you experience while talking to it, not what it experiences while talking to you. When you play videogames, do you actually think the NPCs are experiencing you?
It's pretty insane how negative people are. We did something so extraordinary. Imagine if someone told the engineers who built the space shuttle "but it isn't teleportation". Maybe stop being so judgemental of what others have achieved.
"Uhh actually, this isn't a fully simulated conscious being with a fully formed organic body that resembles my biological structure on a molecular level.... Get this shit out of here"
"How easy it is to blah blah blah"... Dude, what the hell are you talking about, there's nothing easy about this system.
If they release a real AI you'd still dislike it because it was created by a corporation.
I'm already using Copilot every single day. I love it. It helps me save so much time writing boilerplate code that can be easily guessed by the model.
It even helps me understand tools faster than the documentation. I just type a comment and it autocompletes a piece of code that is probably wrong, but probably has the APIs that I need to learn about. So I just go, learn the specific APIs, fix the details of the code and move on.
I use chatgpt to help me improve my private blog posts because I'm not a native English speaker, so it makes the text feel more fluent.
We trained a model with the documentation of our company so it automatically references docs when someone asks it questions.
I'm using the AI from Jira to automatically generate queries and find what I want as fast as possible. I used to hate searching for stuff in Jira because I never remembered the DSL.
I have GPT as a command line tool because I constantly forget commands and this tool helps me remember without having to read the help or open Google.
We have pipelines that read exceptions that would usually be confusing for developers, but GPT automatically generates an explanation for the error in the logs.
I literally ask Chatgpt questions about other areas of technology that I don't understand. My questions aren't advanced so I usually get the right answers and I can keep reading about the topics. Chatgpt is literally teaching me how to do front ends, something that I hated my whole career but now feels like a breeze.
Maybe you should start actually figuring out how to use the tool instead of complaining about it in this echo chamber.
Yes, I'll keep using it because it helps me get things done faster, just like vehicles help me move faster.
Read everything you wrote again. You're so toxic and irrational. It's just a tool man, just understand its limitations and work with it. It's very useful even if it isn't perfect.
You can have human-level conversations with a tool. I don't get your point. Just because it doesn't have full human intelligence doesn't mean it isn't good at conversation. It is better at conversation than most humans. It is obviously not smarter than a human, but it is more eloquent and has more general knowledge than the average human.
We are the first humans who can have a human level conversation with something that is not a human. What do you think human conversations look like? They are not very deep in general.
Pretty funny you think you convinced me it is a tool when I just showed you like 8 different ways I use it as a tool.
I literally started this thing saying that even if it isn't perfect, it is pretty good and it a crazy achievement. You just keep saying it is worthless shit, but that's not true. Just because the tool isn't perfect it doesn't mean that it is worthless or it isn't an achievement.
But whatever man... You just want to be right, so take your imaginary trophy and walk away.
This isn't like talking to a human. It lacks depth, empathy, context, knowledge in all questions.
Just try to get more about a topic out of it, asking deeper questions. You will find that it begins writing something that might sound right or helpful but actually isn't.
All around, it just feels artifical. No emotion, no voice patterns, no body language, no changes in behavior, no reaction to jokes. Sorry this doesn't feel real.
Yeah, it feels like a much improved version of an Eliza. Much improved, but still software. It doesn't understand what it's saying. TBF though I know a few humans like that.
If nobody told you that you were talking to an AI in 2020,you'd have thought it was a person in quick interactions.
The only reason why it doesn't feel more real is because they literally programmed it to feel the way it does. They didn't create chatgpt to express emotions, that would be insane.
