I'm in Love with ChatGPT (1 Viewer)

[Isaac]

I wrote a peace which contained words describing genitals and transgender and the like and chat GPT would not have anything to do with my writing telling me that I was out of line.

What was interesting was it appeared to be making a moral judgement. So I think I'm going to fallout with my mate chat GTP at some stage in the future! I don't like anybody telling me how I can think, whether it's global warming, transgender, free speech....

I fell out with it the first time that I proved it had given me a totally incredibly biased answer about two genders. When I pressed it for more information it actually admitted that it had done that in order to promote the greater good not in those exact words. That was the last time that I used it for anything other than coming up with professional sounding sentence structure or coding.

Oh yes it will continue to be very popular, just not at my expense

It can be a struggle to get to the right answer. Not effort Mind you, just racking your brains to think about the way to ask the question so your new question moves chat GPT in the right direction.

For this alone, I don't think chat GPT will be much help for a complete beginner, unless of course chat GPT is let loose on Access world forums where it would be able to learn from all of the wooly questions beginners ask and also see the correct answers provided by the members here.

And it's important to know that it is better to use it for some purposes than others.

AI is like any new tool some people will use it well and some people will try to use the same ai wrapper for "everything"...

I think it will improve generally and specifically as newer versions evolve and as focused language ( or other) domains are exploited. For general questions with appropriate wording it's pretty fantastic --given what we had only a couple of years ago.
It, like many areas of interest, needs a fact checker. Now some subjects and open ended questions may just accept terminology and concepts. But if we are going to get reliable responses, then I think we need facts -vetted facts- for those subjects that are fact-based, not just conjecture.

 

[Isaac]

Exactly!

Now that statement I can pretty much get on board with.

If you're not dealing with a precision issue.

I've used it to write poems in other languages, kind of cool

 

[Isaac]

Something else for me to try!

Chat GPT has helped me write a pompous letter to the Oxfordshire environmental officer. I can beat them at their own game now!

Yeah, I've discovered it's quite useful for when you want to deliberately write things in a certain Tone or Vernacular.

If I wanted to make my post sound like every day British, or if you wanted to make them sound like more American, or if someone even wanted to pretend English was their second language, they could do that.

I've actually taken my own writing and asked ChatGPT to say the same thing in simpler, less good-English sounding terms - and it did so.
Used it to help a family member whose language status is different, submit an assignment without arousing suspicion.

Hey, I'm sorry, but we were desperate and they needed help!

Tony,
Interesting. As a test, I took part of your previous post and quizzed chatGPT.

Please edit the following "Even with ChatGPT's cornucopia of knowledge, I've found that nothing can quite replicate the warmth of human interaction. Sometimes the dialogue can get heated, but that's what makes it real, raw, and rewarding. There's something about ChatGPT that is not quite human. It's like having a well-meaning friend who talks a little too much. You love them, but occasionally wish they would just nudge you towards the answer instead of laying out the entire road map. "

RESPONSE:
Despite ChatGPT's vast array of knowledge, I've come to realize that nothing quite matches the genuine warmth of human interaction. While conversations with ChatGPT can become intense, it is the very essence of authenticity, vulnerability, and gratification.
There is an indescribable aspect to ChatGPT that sets it apart from being truly human. It feels akin to having a well-intentioned friend who tends to be a bit talkative. You genuinely appreciate them, but occasionally yearn for gentle guidance instead of a detailed roadmap being laid out before you.

Your thoughts??

I'm sure with more experimentation you could get things to "sound more like you". But I think having the grammar and spelling checked would be a great start.

Another attempt to get chatgpt to "tone it down some".

My request:
Please adjust to address a 10 year old

Response:
Even though ChatGPT knows so many things, I've discovered that nothing can quite replace the special feeling of talking to a real person. Sometimes when we talk, things can get a little intense, but that's what makes it real, genuine, and satisfying.
ChatGPT is kind of like having a helpful friend who loves to chat a lot. You really like them, but sometimes you wish they would just give you a little hint instead of giving you all the answers right away. It's like when you're playing a game and you want to figure things out on your own, but you still want a friend to be there for you.

I then asked it to address a high school freshman:

Response
Even though ChatGPT has a treasure trove of knowledge, I've realized that nothing can truly replace the genuine connection of human interaction. Sometimes, the conversations can get intense, but that's what makes them real, raw, and rewarding.
When it comes to ChatGPT, there's something about it that doesn't quite feel like talking to another person. It's like having a well-meaning friend who talks a lot. You appreciate them, but at times, you wish they would nudge you towards the answer instead of giving you the entire roadmap right away. It's like when you're starting high school and you want to figure things out on your own, but you still want a friend to guide you along the way.

Just a start but it shows some promise.

Not sure how many members have the dark theme set, but this is what I see.

I usually read the white bits and some of the blue but miss most of the black unless I highlight it.

 

[jdraw]

I don't use dark theme. Can you suggest alternate color coding to make this more readable in "whatever" theme the reader is using?

 

[AccessBlaster]

I'm probably the only one who uses it.

 

[jdraw]

I have a feeling that it may have been typesetting that initiated the circumflex in French words.
eg forêt vs forest
But it may have been a method to economize on space/effort.

What did you think of the variations in responses to the text I submitted to chatgpt?

Further to your spelling issue:
I found a one-cent piece and sent it to a friend who said it had a strange scent. Too many senses?

 

[Jon]

I agree with all the above. Forums give human contact and friendships, AI gives cold efficiency. There will come a point where AI also gives friendship, when they become more conscious entities.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Also, A.I. will never get annoyed at perceived stupid questions. A.I. will always answer, that's important if you are under a deadline.

 

[jdraw]

If you ask a reasonable question with some context and expectations, you can get an immediate starting point from the AI tool. But that's true of traditional forum as well. Big difference is speed, ability to rephrase/refactor instantly and use the tool as a mentor.

In addition to the list in #94, I foresee disinformation, propaganda and the like to increase. But the product will be almost imperceptible to the masses. The key deterrent factor will be some sort of fact-checking within the language model and the inherent processes.
I hope I'm wrong, but the masses have beliefs that aren't easily changed, and often an intrinsic mob-mentality.

And who will be the arbiter of that? We know from our own forum fact-checking can be manipulated in favor of a certain bias.

 

[jdraw]

Yes, that is the fundamental issue---who is the fact-checker! I'm sure we can just accept ChatGPT and its AI buddies. After all they get their facts from internet materials.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Fact-checking has evolved into opposition research.
