It seems OpenAI should learn to use it correctly first.
Comment on New slop just dropped, from OpenAI

lol. People love to complain about ai. Maybe learn how to use it correctly in its current state* and you will stop crying about it.

Maybe people can stop expecting so much of it first.

Maybe if they hadn’t decided to mislabel it “artificial intelligence”, people wouldn’t have unrealistic expectations.

1000% agree.

Yeah I don’t get the drama with this one.
It’s fun, a bit weird and bad, but I’ve seen worse stuff. I feel like someone tried to do something interesting with that “Bird that wants to be a Plane” video.
In my mind I pictured the bird as Sora/GPT and the plane as the theorized incredible and perfect general AI behemoth.
Imagining the current AI as dumb, incapable and small. Not really able to understand the plane, only sort of, in it’s little bird way.

Agree, the video clearly is not meant to win an Oscar, it’s just a tech showcase. If you know what you’re looking at it’s pretty intense what it can do right now, but the amount of frothing hate from the writer of this article is just super eyerolly. They can’t even try to understand why anyone would be interested in it, or why it was made, or what it’s meant to do. Can’t even try to be neutral, just pure hate.

Read your quote and my comment again, genius.

The slop being talked about in this article was made by OpenAI themselves. You know, the company at the forefront of the AI bubble, with billions of dollars of money behind it?
I don’t know what kind of mythical standard it is that you believe AI is capable of, but when even the organization at the forefront of the tech can’t make this shit look good, you can’t exactly claim it’s a skill issue.

I believe it’s not capable of much, so we shouldn’t call it mythical, lol. You’ve read me wrong.

To be honest I get your point. We use it at work for summaries of 70-page lists of software commits, and with adequate prompting to “understand” what’s what in our codebase it works remarkably well.
Granted it doesn’t work near as well as a person who spends a month working on such a summary, but it does it in seconds. Then a person can work for a day on reviewing this and tidying up rather than wasting time trying to summarise 100k lines of code by hand.

Exactly, you feed it some data and it gives it to you in the format you want it in. I use it all the time for coding. Not the kind that write the code for me in the editor but, with all the languages in my brain I often forget how to do something, and asking ChatGPT takes three seconds. I can also ask it for alternative methods for accomplishing my goal. Sure, using its code is a bad idea but it can get you to the solution a lot faster than stack overflow and you don’t have to deal with waiting or assholes

openAI lives off of the AI hype. Take a look at what Facebook does with AI for a more moderate take on AI. It’s not useless, openAI just hypes it way beyond where it is.
