Co-Intelligence. Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick is worth listening to (or reading). It’s about how the emerging LLMs will be used and how this will lead to good and bad outcomes. The audiobook is 4.5 hours long. Not much more than some of the stupidly long tech podcast people release.
“What's the weather in Belfast, Northern Ireland right now? Tell me in centigrade.”
ChatGPT-4o: Currently, the weather in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is 13°C with light rain and mostly cloudy skies. The humidity is high at 94%, and there is a gentle breeze coming from the northeast at around 8 km/h.
The reason why Altman and OpenAI are moving so fast is that they know - they know - their product is mostly useless.
So, what they're doing is making sure we have no alternative when the media bubble pops.
They're killing off everything else, that's it.
Ultimately, the goal is to have #ChatGPT answer all your questions. And you'll have no way of confirming the answer is correct, because all other search engines will use an LLM to spray you with bullshit as well.
And they'll have source/reference links, which will be pages written by an LLM, possibly on a different subject.
The tech isn't the problem. Sam Altman and the other CEOs are. It's them who decided to sell you a glorified autocomplete as an AI.
The white background logo is the current hex sticker for my TidyDensity #R#package the others were generated from DALL-E #dalle3#gpt#chatgpt pretty cool
Just FYI, if you have older parents or other family members, set up some sort of shibboleth with them so they know what to ask you if you ever call them asking for something. These new generative models are going to be extremely convincing, and the idiots in charge of these companies think they can use guardrails to stop it being used inappropriately. They can't. #genAI#LLMs#chatgpt
This is one of the biggest reasons that I am so anti-AI, at least in its current incarnation. All of its promises to make work/life a little easier for people come at the expense of literally burning the world, and we were already doing far too much of that before these tools were released.
