- What's the name of that "thing" that does "something" - kind of like fuzzy matching
- A starting point for writing particular functions. For example, I wanted a certain string-manipulation function written in C, and it gave me a decent skeleton. However they're almost always very inefficient, so I have to optimize them.
Things I've tried, that others seem to be blown away by, that I find useless:
- Rewriting emails or documentation: I see no clarity improvement from ChatGPT rewording what I say, and sometimes information is lost in the process.
- Outliner or idea prompter: I don't see an improvement over just traditional internet search and reading over various articles and books.
For me, its capabilities do not match the marketing and hype. It's basically just a slightly better search engine. All of the above use-cases can be accomplished with some Google-fu. For people who don't know any programming or about using search engine operators, I could see why they might be impressed by it.
This is the kind of response that truly leaves me underwhelmed with Chat GPT. A thesaurus? A different kind of search engine? No thanks.
I think Chat GPT would be useful to raise an almost infinite number of accusations against your enemies on social media, muddying the water with a deluge of garbage and poisoning every conceivable well with unlimited zeal.
Are your societal purposes remotely at odds with my own? I'll unleash Chat GPT against you with an unrelenting barrage of accusations and insinuations.
That sort of stuff only works until the other side hasn't wised up to your act. Judging by how popular LLMs are going to be, "trust" on the internet will be non-existent.
I think it will be complemented by a ban on "non-official" computing devices and major push for thin clients. I'd rather the internet stay.
Thin clients can be justified as "zero waste" and "sustainable". It also restricts computing hardware, which makes the entire field look much more mysterious and high-tech. Plus, robot policing is the first commercial application of these things. That's a whole other can of worms that will make everyone regret machine learning.
> What's the name of that "thing" that does "something"
I could remember the name of one adult entertainment star. I thought this is where I can finally put this ChatGPT to use. It told me anything adult is off-limits. I’m glad that OpenAI can decide what’s good and bad for us.
It / OpenAi are not "deciding what is good and bad for us", it is deciding what services they want to provide or not provide.
Your pontificating is doing more "deciding what is good and bad for us" (grousing about it's inability to identify the pornstar you're horny for today & dressing it up as some kind of moral high ground) than it is.
There are plenty of open source LLM and "AI" models or research to build your own. Go select one and train it on the large body of porn works out there on the internet and you'll likely make a fortune from this "missed opportunity" that OpenAi is leaving on the table.
I didn't say it was bad (and yes, I was including an inference, not entirely unfounded).
What IS bad is that the commenter is acting as if (s)he has a somehow superior moral position when a product clearly not designed for the purpose (s)he wants is not actually fit for his/her purpose.
As if (s)he is the final arbiter of what other products should include as capabilities, never mind that these are capabilities that they not only do not advertise, but specifically provide notice that they do NOT do.
If OpenAi advertised these capabilities and it failed, I'd be 100% with him/her. But the situation is the opposite, and the moralistic complaint is annoying political noise.
It's not bad at all, really. But, it's a privately owned company that doesn't want to incorporate that material into their product. That is totally their right and doesn't have anything to do with them deciding what is right or wrong. I mean, ir be lying if I said I don't enjoy porn now and then. I did a LOT more when I was younger. But, I absolutely get why they don't want to bring that into their product.
"Your pontificating is doing more "deciding what is good and bad for us" (grousing about it's inability to identify the pornstar you're horny for today & dressing it up as some kind of moral high ground) than it is"
Don't put words in the OPs mouth (that's not a euphemism), nowhere in the comment did they indicate their level of sexual arousal.
They are not deciding what is good for us, they decide what is good for their public image, and that kind of controversy is certainly not something they'd like to venture into.
I'm so confused by this statement. I mean I have no issue with pornography or sex workers but pornography is absolutely controversial. I mean... Parents are trying to get the statue of David removed from a high school in Florida because they consider it pornographic. That's controversy and that's not even pornography.
Controversial: giving rise or likely to give rise to public disagreement.
Maybe you were being silly and I misunderstood your intent in your reply
