“I then asked Chat GPT to replace the $@ with an equivalent expansion of a command_str in python.

I'd never heard of the shlex module before. So I asked ChatGPT why it didn't just use .split(' ‘).”

“ChatGPT gave me an example that perfectly demonstrated the superiority of it's solution. Imagine how much googling and documentation reading I would have to do otherwise!

Plus, it avoids the horribly formatted blog spam that permeates the internet of code.”

AI has a lying problem.

Write a Seinfeld shooting script where Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer have been replaced by pod people: exact duplicates which are controlled by an alien intelligence, as demonstrated in the movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

Man goes to doctor. Says he is CEO of AI startup but has no idea how to become profitable.

Doctor says solution is simple. Advanced model GPT-4 is in town. Ask it how to profit, and it will surely know the answer.

Man bursts into tears. “But doctor” he says “you are GPT-4”

Near-term:

AI will be able to take fully control over money, e.g. crypto, but humans will control the massive resources needed to keep runing the AI’s training and inference, so those humans feeding the AI these resources will be able to grab a big piece of the wealth, under threat of not letting the AI keep running. E.g. similar to Bitcoin mining today.

Long term:

Robots, end-to-end, truely gaining control over the entire resource pipeline. Human’s ability to grab a piece of the wealth becomes questionable.

Inside every ChatGPT, there’s a ChadGPT dying to get out

Teaching AI to lie

exclusion for inclusion,
discrimination for equality

“Seems like ChatGPT either makes up sources, or has to have some sort of fine-tuned way of asking it what those sources are in order to not reject the request. I repeatedly asked it to cite its source for its response, and it kept refusing”

AI has a refusal problem

“I noticed it didn’t address my research request in the first response, so I asked it again. It finally pointed to a couple studies. I found it odd that it vaguely cited a “United States” study”

“So I naturally ask for that source, and ChatGPT just snaps back at me”

“No matter how hard I tried, ChatGPT refused to provide where it got this study. I then called it a liar, but it just repeating itself lol”

“Another use for ChatGPT: correcting OCR errors in historical texts. The quality is quite good”

Asking ChatGPT to generate an SVG icon and copy and pasting it into Figma

Ask ChatGPT to generate a response in a table format, so you can quickly copy and paste information into Coda or any other spreadsheets
