ChatGPT cannot do punctuation grammar correctly even if you forced it (lemmy.world)

I asked it about how to use etc with three dots in an example followed by a brand new sentence starting with a capital letter afterward.

It told me : / In standard usage, "etc." is typically followed by three dots and then continues with a lowercase letter. If you are starting a new sentence, you do not add additional dots after "etc." /

Then I begged it to give me an example of that rule. One such as:
I love swimming, soccer, etc... I also love eating animals.

And it just couldn't do that. It kept typing 4 dots or single dot or no dots at all, and it can't even recognize what it typed every single time. Lol try it yourself

Considering you asked it to follow a rule that does not exist, it's unsurprising it can't do it "correctly"

It seems like ChatGPT can write, but from what I've understood about the technology it always sounded more like it was taught to "speak". Not with sounds obviously, but the sentences are build without necessarily knowing all characters that make it up, like children do with speech before learning to write.

I'm not a researcher on the topic, so I could've interpreted something wrong. I'd like to see Cunningham's law proven right, if I did!

AI is basically just "heuristically, sentences usually look like this, and when this word is used in this context, the next word is usually..." And so on.

There is no "thinking" behind ChatGPT, no real understanding of the topics it's provided. Just a computer that provides sentences in a way that make humans attempt to humanize it.

U can make "thinking" by havibg it generate a thought process its often used to make agents with langchain that are significantly morr intellegent than the base models especialy when given the capability to use tools.

You are using GPT-3.5, right? It is imo much worse than the paid version.

you're correct. right now 4.0 is the paid one. the free one is 3.5. its dumb as a bag of dicks
