    Wow, I can talk to the hallucination machine! What an innovation!

    … God, imagine if this all this effort went towards fusion power or space infrastructure. What a waste.

      You talk as if those are separate things.

      Advances in broad reaching technology ends up broad reaching.

          Mhmm. Literally things that computer scientists a decade ago considered impossible within our lifetimes occurs, but social media is convinced it’s a ‘gimmick.’

          Laypeople have really drunk up the anti-AI Kool aid these days…

              There was no AOL chat bot that could explain why a joke it had never seen before was funny or could solve an original variation of a logic puzzle.

              The fact that you can’t tell the difference reflects more on where you fall within the Dunning-Kreuger curve of NLP model assessment than it does the capabilities of the LLMs.

                  Let me know when they invent one of those, because they sure as fuck haven’t done it yet.

                  This was literally part of the 2022 PaLM paper and allegedly the thing that had Hinton quit to go ringing alarm bells and by this year we now have multimodal GPT-4 writing out explanations for visual jokes.

                  Just because an ostrich sticks its head in the sand doesn’t mean the world outside the hole doesn’t exist.

                  And in case you don’t know what I mean by that, here’s GPT-4 via Bing’s explanation for the phrase immediately above:

                  This statement is a metaphor that means ignoring a problem or a reality does not make it go away. It is based on the common myth that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are scared or threatened, as if they can’t see the danger. However, this is not true. Ostriches only stick their heads in the ground to dig holes for their nests or to check on their eggs. They can also run very fast or kick hard to defend themselves from predators. Therefore, the statement implies that one should face the challenges or difficulties in life, rather than avoiding them or pretending they don’t exist.

                  Go ahead and ask Eliza what the sentence means and compare.
