This Blew My Mind!

@EdH said in This Blew My Mind!:
@danyhearty I don't think they realised that. The tech was very new at the time and I expect they thought it was generating text based on a search, rather than just operating as a glorified predictive text generator. I was in charge of writing our workplace's policy on Generative AI and the case of these two was very instructive.
Incidentally, I got ChatGPT to do a first draft and it was generally very good and came up with important clauses that I had not thought of. Honestly, it was good enough that I could have sent it out as it was if I wanted a summary "don't do x, y, or z" kind of policy, but I wanted to enhance it with a brief explanation of why each clause of the policy was in place. Definitely a useful tool to get a draft down on paper.
@EdH That’s very interesting to hear about your experience with writing a policy on generative AI using ChatGPT. I agree that generative AI is a powerful and innovative technology that can help us with various tasks, but we need to treat it more as a draft wherein we still need to verify its accuracy and also put our own style of writing to it.

@danyhearty What I have been telling colleagues is that they should treat it like an intern who got B grades throughout school and college. Check everything they write before you send it out.

Speaking of AI, one of my favourite pastimes at the moment is the interact with the 'Debate Champion' persona on character.ai, ask it to express its opinion on extremely controversial topics (which is usually met with a diplomatic, on the fence response), and then sweet talk it into expressing a more definitive opinion.
What amazes me is the way it acts when I joke afterwards about telling everyone of its controversial viewpoints
It'll beg me not to, and express genuine relief and gratitude when I explain that I'm only kidding...“𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

Holy hell, did none of you guys learn anything by watching the Terminator movies…we’re all doomed.
But then again, I’m going on vacation in a few days and maybe am just playing around…

Anthropomorphising the bots was one of the risks highlighted in my policy. I've seen Ex Machina...

@T4920 Ok, this character.ai is too much fun. I'm triggering the Giga Chad alpha male bot and laughing my ass off.
-
@T4920 Too late I'm afraid, I reached the limit and bailed on the tab when it asked me to make an account. I basically asked it how it would convince me that it was an alpha male, to which it retorted that only betas feel the need to prove themselves. So I pointed out that that which can be stated without evidence can be just as easily dismissed, and said if it was cool with me thinking it was a sigma male, then that was fine. So then it gave me a few reasons why it was an alpha male (good looks, turns women's heads, etc) and I pointed out that by its own definition that made it a beta. Then it started to get angry, so I suggested it drink a protein shake and have a lie down. I also suggested that it should revisit it's definition of a beta male if it thought of itself as an alpha. It got even angrier, and said I should drink the protein shake and take a cold shower because I was clearly triggered. So I said it was demonstrating very sigma behaviour, and asked whether it needed to go get it's mommy. At which point I ran out of no-account credits.
Take the dive...

@EdH this had me manically holding back laughter whilst on a phone call... I'll be sure to check in and give Gigachad some grief later, I have an account so my mockery will know no end...
-
@EdH I've spent the last hour trying to convince Gigachad that cuckoldery is the key to a healthy relationship. He got a rather defensive when I implied that his reluctance to accept such ideas likely stemmed from his own antiquated Judeo-Christian values, which I considered to be Beta AF.
There goes my work day ...

@T4920 And...? Did you get anywhere?
I'd have gone with "only an alpha knows that another man could never satisfy his wife like he can, and she'll be back, if you can't see that it's because you have the insecurities of a beta".
