  I believe a lot of the smartest people ignore these threads.

  Asking an llm to do things it’s particularly bad at and being surprised that it isn’t good at it that the company that makes it says it’s really, really, good at it.

  This image isn’t making fun of GPT, it’s making fun of the people who pretend GPT is something it’s not.

    Well, I was referring generically to the few hundred other similar posts I’ve seen on lemmy. Did OpenAI say that chatGPT is particularly good at identifying when the user is trying to trick it? “solve this puzzle” would imply there is a puzzle to be solved, but there clearly isn’t.

    But you’re right, I don’t even care if people make fun gpt, it’s funny when it gets things wrong. I just think that lemmy users will be like “see this things is stupid, it can’t answer this simply question!”, when you can ask it, in plain human language, to do some things that an average user would find really difficult.

  If you were as old as you claim you wouldn’t have made this list because you would have seen the last hype. I was there for 3d tv. How is 3d tv going btw?

    Well, I had an issue where I needed to scrape a website for a bunch of individual links to specific pages for contract information so I could dynamically link a purchase order line to that page within our ERP. I’m not particularly good at scripting with html/Javascript so I just asked chatGPT for some help and it gave me a script to do it in like 4 seconds.

    Seemed pretty decent for that.

      So like stackoverflow but it just gives you some code that works but without the how?

      Seems very useful for personal projects that don’t need security.

        Sure, but stackoverflow sucks and shitty culture.

  For real, man. So much intentional pessimism.

  I’m here, I’m not young, I’m tech inclined.

  Smart? 🤷‍♂️

  I’m just sitting here wondering where the fucking cabbage came from.

  Whatever. I’m pretty safe, I do IT, and LLMs are interesting, but they’re shit at plugging in stuff like power cables and ethernet, so I’m safe for now.

  When the “AI” can set up the computers, from unboxing to a fully working desktop, I’ll probably be dead, so I equally won’t care. It’s neat, but hardly a replacement for a person at the moment. I see the biggest opportunity with AI as personal assistants, reminding you of shit, helping you draft emails and messages, etc… In the end you have to more or less sign off on it and submit that stuff. AI just does the finicky little stuff that all of us have to do all the time and not much else.

    The set up is similar this well-known puzzle: en.wikipedia.org/…/Wolf,_goat_and_cabbage_problem

    It was probably trained on this puzzle thousands of times. There are problem solving benchmarks for LLMs, and LLMs are probably over-trained on puzzles to get their scores up. When asked to solve a “puzzle” that looks very similar to a puzzle it’s seen many times before, it’s improbable that the solution is simple, so it gets tripped up. Kinda like people getting tripped up by “trick questions.”

    Mustard. The cabbage came from mustard.

  but also a bunch of nerds who close their eyes and cover their ears while screeching nonsense the moment something they don’t like comes about.

  This is too true.

  It seems like a recent thing, not just a Lemmy thing.

  But yeah, it’s pretty wild providing linked academic papers and having people just downvote it. Not really dispute or reply to it, just “no, I don’t like this, so fuck its citations.”

  Up until maybe 3-4 years ago I don’t ever recall that happening.

  For real, man. I spent a few days in the wilderness this weekend and when I came back and got on Lemmy again I was like “wow”. Yet I’m still here…
