chatgpt absolutely isn't going away. it's being implemented on the corporate level for things like coding already.

and honestly? for very specific use cases, mostly spitting out boilerplate code to run testing, it's very good in the right hands.

I mean, it's basically just the automated version of copy+pasting from stack overflow and then tweaking a bit to fit your actual unique usecase which has been the go-to lazy developer move for ages.

What is almost certainly copyrighted though are the scripts and stories the bots were trained on, which I think is the big brewing battle if and when this tech actually does start to get used in the mainstream for high profile productions.

There's already been actors posting about contracts that grant the production company the right to their likeness and voice in perpetuity via AI reproduction, so presumably they're going to do their best to shove some sort of clause into writers contracts allowing for the work's use as trainng material unilaterally rather than actually deal with the ethical issue this presents in any sort of normal human way.

Yeah, there's a potential fight over what can be fed into the food processor, and no legal protection for what gets spat out the other end. Not seeing a lot of actual upside for the media corporations.

chatgpt is just cleverbot 2.0. i genuinely dont get how people are dazzled or impressed by it, especially people who have a basic understanding of how computers work.

additionally "training a bot" takes a ton of money and time. a bot cant edit a scene at set or to circumvent censorship. a bot has no sense of budget or scale or what a set is.

Yeah all the fancy "Artificial Intelligence" platforms coming out are just automated statistical models loaded up with an absolutely massive data set and then relentlessly and continuously trained by an army of gig workers making ~$15/hour with no benefits until they spit out answers that are close enough to sounding okay that the average user doesn't rush to twitter to post the screencaps of the epic AI fail. ChatGTP doesn't know how to code, hell it doesn't even know what coding is, hell it doesn't know anything because it's not even a sentient thing. It does have terabytes of coding samples uploaded to it though and a bunch of humans tell it yes/no until if you ask it for code that does x it can cobble together enough examples from textbooks to give you something that still doesn't really work but is close enough a person who knows what they're doing can make some light edits to bring it over the finish line.

Tech people are the easiest people on the planet to trick because they've convinced themselves that being good at computers means that they're too smart to ever be wrong about anything else. So when they get initially wowed by a chat bot they quickly convince themselves that they are on the inside track to something big and important because why else would they be impressed by it?

i like when you ask them to cite academic papers on a subject and they rattle off 10 paper titles that sound like they're what you want, by real researchers in that field, naming the real journals they were supposedly published in, and not a single one of the papers actually exists

I'd argue that's the wrong way to use them and will always be so. they are trained on humans saying human things, sourced explicitly from the proverbial human rear end, and as such will occasionally act like your college drug dealer who owned an iguana and made you watch ancient aliens before you could gracefully leave. you don't want that guy writing your paper.

rather, I think they are should be used as a sorta meta-filter for how humans think on aggregate. stuff like "what would cyberpunk blues clues look like" where it will use its training data of human thought on blues clues and cyberpunk to synthesize something you can springboard off.

solely using them to get knowledge or create art will always create a beige pile of slop and that's probably OK?

It might be the wrong way to use these "tools" but this is how regular people are going to use them so they should give you accurate information instead of making poo poo up. Now if they're citing some forum post from 2003 on some obscure forum about a given topic I could understand it but I've had them make poo poo up.

I'm sure a LLM trained on academic sources is in the works, otherwise, no, they will probably never be "truthful" and that's probably impossible given that "truth" is unfortunately malleable and hard to pin down given.... humans.

e. I don't disagree but it feels quixotic to be mad at LLMs for how people are going to use them. it's not like it's a new problem?

An academically trained robot won't be any different because the reason it's getting things wrong is not the quality of its training or sources but the fact that it is fundamentally a tool designed to assemble meaningless characters into arrangements that a human will mistake as a written sentence.

theoretically forcing an LLM to develop associations that are based on a scientifically verified set of data would create arrangements that meet some bar of "more truthful" but yes, it should not be used as a search engine fundamentally by design.

I'm not going to remember it, but some goon did a good post about how AI is really good at acting like a dumb person who thinks they're smart.

It uses a ton of filler sentences and quotes to max out space, talks with a lot of confidence to cover over the fact that it doesn't comprehend what it's talking about and just throws in enough sources and claims that it's too big of a pain to bother running them down so you just nod and move along.

I was actually pretty disappointed the last few times I used it trying to names for a bird and gift ideas, didn't really do anything except sum up the first few search results which is slightly useful but with search results going to poo poo who knows how valuable that that will stay.

In case you missed it, the current Writers Guild strike has this as one of the key issues. They want promises that AI won't be used to touch up scripts in place of a writer and rules that their scripts can't be fed into an AI. The studios response was "Well, how about we hold a yearly meeting where we explain why it actually rules that we're trying to replace you?"

It's also going to be a huge deal with the SAG negotiations. New York state passed/set up to pass a law that you can't use a dead actor's image digitally without the estate's consent and Disney freaked the gently caress out and are trying to get living celebs to compromise before laws get written or the SAG agreement changes.

For some reason she also told me this person is "leading a sad life despite being rich" not sure what that meant but the guy is apparently always bored but also trying to get his friends into new web3 ventures. Apparently he's also convinced her daughter's family that ai was the big thing now but also accidentally convinced her that ai was going to kill humanity. She was literally complaining to me that chat gpt would lead to the Terminator 2 opening sequence of burning skeletons holding a fence. I told her the application is only replicating learned content without creating new thoughts but she's like ai will murder us all and my son in laws friend wants us to sponsor human genocide. She still doesn't know that ai was used to make the artwork for the happy teachers day greeting she sent to our group chat on WhatsApp
