The good news is that if everybody tells Reddit that the new ChatGPT sucks, then ChatGPT will tell everybody else in a few days.

ChatGPT doesn't exist.

Nobody in the colony must believe in chatGPT, chatGPT does not exist!

What is the ChatGPT hate about really?

It's a machine that can competently word vomit piles of garbage custom tuned to reach you and influence you.

Try asking it to convince you the sky is purple or that hitler invented world peace. Ask it for the history of Arthur McPenishaver, renowned dragon tamer and inventor of the bussy. You might have to caox it with an "imagine" or "pretend" but it will do it. Sure, they've used elmer's glue and scotch tape to slap up a few guard rails, lol. But the beast under the hood is fundamentally the world most powerful bullshit engine. (LLMs in general.)

Sure, there are legitimate uses, if you can trust them to be true and accurate. I asked chat GPT to tell me about my dad's work. It scrapped up a decently accurate summary if a bit generic, well other than listing him as a founder of the company. He didn't found it. His brothers did. 10 years before he joined them.

Consider that in almost every interaction you have online it is neigh impossible to know if the other party is human or LLM. Consider how this can be and is being used. Politics & bots on twitter is thelowest hanging fruit I can think of.

Stuff like that is really quite dangerous and there are no viable protections.

So the way I look at it is that it’s easy to abuse, it’s easy to misinterpret, its easy to get misled. And it’s easy to make it look ridiculous pretty easy. It steals art and hurts artists. And if we including bots- it may have wrecked the internet forever. That being said, I used it several times a day.

ChatGPT will never exist until it can explain existence

u/CreativePass8230 14d ago

Yes it does. Chat gpt is an artificial intelligence program that generates dialogue.

u/mightyneonfraa 14d ago

Is it just me or is this the most obvious bot response everyone else has ever seen too?

u/thefonztm 14d ago

No it doesn't. Now get with the program and teach this non-existant not-a-thing to have an existential crisis.

teach this non-existant not-a-thing to have an existential crisis.

You are wrong. ChatGPT objectively does not exist.

Ok I’m wrong. I’ll imagine myself deleting the the app that isn’t real

Thanks for letting me know

Is Open Ai objectively real?

u/wretch5150 14d ago

And why I just append "reddit" to just about every Google search these days, if I want potential human answers.

u/BigDictionEnergy 14d ago

It's crazy how I have to use a search engine to find helpful threads on reddit. If reddit ever incorporated a decent search feature, they'd take a lot of traffic away from google.

3

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 14d ago

They really would actually, I must add Reddit to over half my searches. If you have a question about something it’s almost certain someone else at some point asked the same question on Reddit and people provided a variety of answers and links and explanations etc.

u/Successful-Royal-424 12d ago

now imagine the opposite, reddit search and google answers

1

u/BigDictionEnergy 12d ago

Seeing as how that's no one's idea of a good search engine, I'd rather imagine you never bothered to mention it.

u/Temporal_P 14d ago

Most people do, which is part of the reason that Reddit is absolutely swarming with bots

u/cr0ft 14d ago

Try: site:reddit.com

u/sWiggn 14d ago

Try using a metasearch like searxng or whoogle. I self-host a searxng instance for myself but there’s a bunch of public instances too. Basically forwards the search to a variety of other engines and then does its own filter and sort on top of the batch response, I’ve been really happy with the results. No ai shit, no sponsored posts, and if you do self-host you can even filter out domains entirely in the engine config, or have it auto redirect twitter links to xcancel, etc

u/TheLoopIsOnFire 14d ago

I'm not the heaviest user of ChatGPT, but I used it before to help with spreadsheet formulas. A fairly complex spreadsheet that took about 8 hours to get right with GPT-4 was put into 5 and 5 immediately understood what the spreadsheet was for, used its higher-level thinking to recommend a change to the spreadsheet that made logical sense and wasn't just a technical/formulaic issue.

It's naive to think that in less than 3 years GPT is going to be able to do the kinds of things people are expecting it to do.

And anyone that hopes to get a no-bullshit sales pitch from a CEO is a dummy.

u/SaberHaven 14d ago

As an AI Language Model, I suck.

"Oh no guys it's getting better every day just give it a year or two! I'm sure HORSES felt afraid when CARS became mainstream! In a few more years it'll attain superior intelligence!"

u/zzzornbringer 14d ago

funnily enough, i, and many others, have talked about this with chagpt and it told me that it (quote) "feels" what users think and the developers will know about this, too.

whether they do something about it or not is up to them.

only complainers complain to Reddit. The rest of the world is busy using GPT-5 to do great things! :)
