Has anyone played around with the ChatGPT bot at all? It's pretty trippy. I couldn't find a thread where we discuss this or any other innovations in AI.
Me: If you had to choose the three greatest classic rock bands of all time, who would you choose and why? GPT: It is difficult to choose only three greatest classic rock bands of all time, as there are many talented and iconic bands that have made significant contributions to the genre. However, if I were to select three, I would choose The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. The Beatles, who are often considered one of the most influential bands in the history of music, were known for their catchy melodies, complex harmonies, and innovative songwriting. Their music broke boundaries and paved the way for many of the rock bands that came after them. Led Zeppelin, who were known for their powerful and dynamic performances, were one of the first bands to blend blues and rock music to create a unique and influential sound. They are widely regarded as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, with numerous classic hits such as "Stairway to Heaven" and "Kashmir." Pink Floyd, who were known for their innovative use of technology and their epic, conceptual albums, were one of the defining bands of the psychedelic rock movement. Their music is characterized by complex arrangements, soaring guitar solos, and thought-provoking lyrics. Their classic albums such as "The Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" are considered masterpieces of the genre.
Only fucked with the AI ‘selfie’ renderings that everyone has been doing. (It mostly made me look like some stomp and holler asshole.) Need to check out this ChatGPT
Between that, the DALL-E artbot and this thing in the OP, the writing is really on the wall. We are really starting to accelerate our replacement now. It’ll just be robots talking to each other on tmb soon
good thread. It's fucking awesome. Mindblowing. But im nervous about creatively talented people losing their jobs
fwiw if people don't want to listen to an hour of this, basically the dude's conclusion at the time was that general ai (ie matrix type stuff) is very far away. but narrow ai, as in you can give it specific requests through text and it can do it, was very close. iirc the main challenge there was reading the text and interpreting the grammar of the request. i guess it was only a year away in reality.
This tech is going to replace the search engines we know and use today very soon. It's an incredible tool and it feels like a massive paradigm shift.
I asked it to write a short story about skiedfrillet and told them he's a garbage man who loves chili dogs, Clemson, and his dogs. Here's what it came up with... Skillet was a garbage man with a passion for chili dogs. He loved them almost too much, and it was a good thing that he had a hearty appetite to match his love for the delicious meal. Skillet lived in a small town in South Carolina, and was a die-hard Clemson fan. Every Saturday during football season, he could be found sitting in front of his TV, cheering on his team as they took on their opponents. Skillet was a friendly guy, and he loved nothing more than spending time with his two dogs, a pair of lively mutts that he had rescued from the local animal shelter. They were his constant companions, and they went everywhere with him, even on his rounds as a garbage man. Despite his love for chili dogs, Skillet was a fit and healthy man. He spent his days working hard and keeping active, and he made sure to eat a balanced diet most of the time. But every now and then, he just couldn't resist the temptation of a juicy chili dog, smothered in all of his favorite toppings. One day, Skillet decided to treat himself to a special meal. He went to his favorite chili dog stand and ordered three of the biggest and juiciest chili dogs they had on offer. As he sat there devouring his feast, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Life doesn't get much better than this!" And so, Skillet continued to enjoy his love of chili dogs and his life in small-town South Carolina, surrounded by his loyal dogs and the team he loved. He may have been a garbage man, but to him, life was just about perfect.
We played around with it in 7th period and it was 50/50. It can write a great recommendation letter for a lazy student, but fails at most physics.
I asked it to imagine it was JFK and write a speech to Congress asking for a law allowing citizens to hunt billionaires for sport: My fellow Americans, I come before you today to speak about a matter of great importance to our nation. I believe that it is time for Congress to pass a new law that would allow our citizens to hunt billionaires for sport. Now, I know that this may sound controversial, but hear me out. Our nation was founded on the principles of liberty and equality, and yet, today, a small group of wealthy elites have amassed unimaginable wealth and power, while the vast majority of our people struggle to make ends meet. This is unacceptable, and it is time for us to take action. By allowing our citizens to hunt billionaires for sport, we can not only provide them with a much-needed source of entertainment and recreation, but we can also help to level the playing field and create a more equitable society. Of course, there will be those who say that this is barbaric, but I ask you, what could be more barbaric than a system that allows a handful of individuals to amass vast wealth and power, while the rest of us are left to scrape by? So I urge you, my fellow Americans, let us take a stand for justice and equality. Let us pass this law and allow our citizens to hunt billionaires for sport. Together, we can create a brighter, more equitable future for our nation. Thank you.
A buddy was posting screenplay ideas the other day. The degree to which the bot handles the context of everything is wild as hell.
Seinfeld sketch about dblplay1212 (The scene opens in the iconic Monk's Cafe. Jerry, George, and Elaine are sitting at their usual table, while Kramer is sitting with a new friend, DBL. DBL is wearing a Yankees cap and a Crimson Tide t-shirt, and is talking loudly and confidently about sports.) DBL: Yeah, I'm a diehard Yankees fan, but I gotta say, there's nothing like watching the Crimson Tide roll. George: (sarcastically) Oh yeah, the Crimson Tide. Such a great team. DBL: (noticing George's sarcasm) Hey, what's your problem, man? You work for the Yankees, you should be a fan of all New York sports teams. George: (irritated) I am a fan of the Yankees, but I can't stand the Crimson Tide. And I definitely can't stand know-it-all fans like you. DBL: (defensively) Hey, I'm not a know-it-all. I just know my sports. George: (challenging) Oh really? Prove it. I'll give you a trivia contest right now. Alabama football. DBL: (confidently) Bring it on. (They start the trivia contest, and George quickly realizes that DBL doesn't actually know as much as he thought. In fact, it becomes clear that DBL is a closet Auburn fan.) George: (triumphantly) Ha! I knew it. You're not a real Crimson Tide fan, are you? DBL: (ashamed) No, I'm not. I've always secretly rooted for Auburn. (Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer start laughing at DBL, who quickly gets up and stomps out of the cafe, humiliated.) Jerry: (to the group) Well, that was fun. Elaine: (laughing) Poor DBL. He thought he was such a sports expert. Kramer: (shrugging) Well, I guess you can't trust a diehard fan. (The scene ends with the group still laughing at DBL's expense.)
