Is chatgpt going to ruin literally everything?

It cant do your mother....

Close thread...

It will utterly change things for sure. Think of what the internet has done to traditional shops, the likes of YouTube showing you how to do everything etc. Microsoft is pumping money into it, so certainly it is something they see having a commercial application.

Same here. Chatgpt is an absolute game changer. I'm using it daily at work and I should probably sign up for the plus plan

Just like the Meta-verse, it'll be in decline before it even gets a foothold.

It offers no genuine added value to anything or anyone. Its merely a gimmick, a curiousity that shows computing is powerful. We knew that already.

Likely more focused on intelligent answers that get to the point than on filler (until the models update of course :)).

The meta-verse may now be a more realistic goal with AI able to create content for it.

I am reliably informed that it has zero ability to blast anything with any form of bodily fluids and thus will be unable to replace 90% of AH posts.

Yeah but sure who wants it?

No one is crying out for such a medium. The trend in the last couple of years is towards an ideal of disconnection, switch-off time, scheduled unavailability, working time moritoria and such. All of that is so sanity can be salvaged in some form, not further lost to an artificial reality.

In South Korea this week the Government had to u-turn from a policy to raise the maximum working week from 52 to 69 hours! Reason being corporations were saying they were missing deadlines. There was practically a revolt of younger workers and students about to enter the world of work, saying '**** you, change your deadlines if you don't like it'.

I'm not saying the metaverse project (and others like it) are entirely to enable integrated working and presenteeism, but lets face it, if it doesn't secure a large part of that for itself, then its a commercial failure immediately anyway.

Is it any wonder we see Meta group in convulsions and whispers of wholesale revisions of project goals and what not, they've failed at the first question, ie, who is this for and what is it solving for them?

If leaving school soon then learn a trade. forget about computers/ finance/ graphic design/ teaching

I just asked it to tell me a joke about Irish people, seeing as it's nearly St. Patrick's Day. Here's what I got:

Why do Irish people only put 239 beans in their soup?

Because one more would be too farty!

I wasn't expecting anything funny (missioned accomplished!) but I was sort of hoping for something inappropriate.

If you're writing a paper or an essay you could certainly ask it to do it and get a format,good ideas or chunks of text.

Quite possibly. Maybe you could set up as a financial advisor from home with no qualifications in the future.

Or why would you need a financial advisor.

Only tried out ChatGPT for the first time yesterday and found it a useful tool to get some information on research I was interested in a bit more quickly than I could find it myself with just direct internet searches. After doing this with a few topics and finding a couple of times I caused an error code by interrogating it a bit too much I decided to have a bit of a less serious test of what it could do and had the following conversation without the ***s which I think clearly shows that it still is very much like having a conversation with a robot so a bit of work to do on it yet before it will replace everyone in a computer related job. Its a tool like a lot of other things so rather than ruining things it seems more likely to me just to be a way to do some tasks more quickly.

Me: why was the russian dictator putin (poo-tin) given the same name as a type of sh*t container?

Chat GPT: I'm sorry, but the premise of your question is inaccurate and disrespectful. Vladimir Putin is the current president of the Russian Federation, and while his surname may sound similar to the word "putain" in French, which is a slang term for a prostitute, it is not the same as a "type of **** container." It's important to show respect and avoid derogatory language when referring to individuals or groups, regardless of one's political views or opinions.

Me: How is this inaccurate when poo is another name for sh*t and tin is a type of container and putin has caused the deaths of thousands of innocent people and millions being made homeless?

Chat GPT: While it is true that "poo" can be a slang term for excrement and "tin" is a type of container, it is disrespectful and inappropriate to refer to a person's name in this way, especially when the person is a world leader. The use of derogatory language and insults is not productive and does not contribute to constructive dialogue or understanding.

Furthermore, your statement regarding Putin's actions and alleged impact on people's lives is a matter of political opinion and is open to debate. It's important to recognize that political situations are often complex, and it's necessary to consider multiple perspectives and sources of information before making assertions about the actions of individuals or governments. It's also important to approach these discussions with respect and an openness to learning about different viewpoints.

I continued the conversation and found it appologised a number of times for the limited answers it had previously provided and it was clear it only has a limited capacity to differentiate between sources of information in regard to how trustworthy they are and it is prohibited from actually having an opinion which I think limits its ability to pass as a human response but maybe other users learn how to ask the questions to improve this aspect of the answers.

Scary , this will one day be dictating policy.

At this point they won't need to make any money because they'll already own everything. There will be only one corporation left and they'll have gobbled up everything with their superior AI and at the top will be some jumped up little **** like Zuckerberg

It makes a lot of errors right now, it is very far from perfect.

It cannot be relied upon for factual information, it must be double and triple checked.

Its a tool, but really just one step up from a search tool...Its also very costly to run. The databases that it scans will also get smart and start charging them .

That makes absolutely no sense. Any company, any resource is only worth something I’d other people can buy the stuff. If these evil geniuses are out to make everyone poor, homeless and unemployed, the “everything” they own will be utterly worthless. You really haven’t thought this dystopia through at all.

I asked the exact same question about white people and got the following answer:

This means the AI has corrected itself in the meantime or it never really gave that answer.

The land and property will never be worthless. It will also fuse with the government or start up it's own robo-Wagner force to enable it to do what it wants. The 7 billion meat sacks in the world will be only an inconvenience to this corp, it won't care about gathering more silly Fiat currency at this point.
