ChatGPT in a nutshell

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately the average person prefers flowery language for some reason. So that's what OpenAI optimized for.

If you tell it to be precise and short it usually works fine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Well, sort of

It does generate nonsense, but unlike Calvin the ChatGPT is generating nonsense based on nonsense sample data, so Calvin's is still better.

I know hating ChatGPT is trendy, but while I think this AI boom is absolutely idiotic and LLMs aren't suitable for a lot of the things people try to use them for, I think there's a real tendency for people to make it seem like everything about them is garbage. Pretending that even their training data is "nonsense" is just silly

It's not "trendy," if anything liking it is "trendy," hating it is the educated stance.

Clearly you failed to understand the "prompt" because the context in which we're discussing this is supposed to be about intentionally creating nonsense.

Did you read anything I said past that part or did you just want to get your petulant downvote in?

I literally fucking said the boom's idiotic and there's a lot of problems with the technology, but just blindly pretending everything about it is shit is as idiotic as is pretending they're the good for everything. What is it with people's inability to have a honest fucking argument; "their 'sample data' is nonsense" is bullshit and you fucking know it. "Sample data" isn't even a fucking thing in this context.

I made a couple edits about a minute after I hit reply, so as to respond to your concerns before continuing to insult your intelligence further.

Furthermore, Calvin is well aware that he's talking nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Calvin, and others like him, are the reason AI is like this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Where do you think it got it from then?

System prompt + context

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah but that hardly affects the quality of the output, except for some fringe contextual cases.
