    The one major drawback even as a chatbot - a chatbot that is suppose to mimic real, human interactions is it's lack of a sense humour.

    A pair of cows were talking in the field. One says, “Have you heard about the mad cow disease that’s going around?”

    “Yeah,” the other cow says. “Makes me glad I’m a penguin.”

    chatbot:

    I'm sorry, but cows are not capable of speech, nor are they able to understand or communicate in human language. Penguins, on the other hand, are flightless birds that live in cold climates, typically near the poles. They are known for their black and white plumage and their ability to swim underwater at high speeds. It is highly unlikely that a cow would be confused for a penguin, or vice versa.

    It looked all good on the surface but so far not a single After Effects expression worked for me that it spit out to me despite looking all clean and neat.

    One was a simple numbers countdown, didn't work. Another was creating a dynamic box around text layer depending on the length of the word/ sentence, didn't work.

    Had to use Google and found working ones immediately.

    • yeah I think it spits out conversational text that could make sense but on further scrutiny it doesn't hold up._niko

    best use I have seen so far is taking a job application, feeding it into GPT and asking it to write you an application and cover letter using their criteria..

    super useful tool considering this tech is about to make everyone unemployed..

    also been seeing a lot of tiktoks from neurodivergent people rejoicing as they are used to asking very specific and detailed questions..

    • And the more you use it, the less it needs you, and the less your employer needs you. I still don't understand how people don't get this concept.garbage
    • But again, people didn't leave Facebook a decade ago when it was an obvious data mine. "You are the product".garbage
    • I can't give away too much, but college applications are currently being flooded with GPT generated submissions. There is a counter-test..garbage
    • ..that admissions are using, and hi-AI stink will be added to an applicants overall score in the future. Too bad that adding a typo or two..garbage
    • ..sentence restructure, or maybe a random hyphen will take a 90% doubt score to a plausible applicant range. Fun stuff.garbage
    • I get the concept of it replacing us all.. I guess from my perspective its coming anyway, so lean into it and slack off while you canautoflavour
    • also my office is so tech un-savvy, it will take a while before anyone really noticesautoflavour
    • By all means, replace us. I only ever chose to do art/design because I need to work to generate money. If I didn't have to I would be experiencing life.ShenanigansTV
    • You can't eliminate consumers from the equation. Disney can replace some manual labor, but will still need people to have money to fund them. Capitalism will beShenanigansTV
    • replaced with something new. We will get paid a certain $$ and will vote with the $$ and this is what will drive the trajectory of what is importantShenanigansTV

    literally used it this morning for 1 hour to write 23 different scripts for short videos for work..

    normally it would be a day at least to get one script as im no copywriter and it just is the most painful part of what I do

    sure they aren't perfect, but 80% there is easy enough to tweak it across the line.

    • I think as a tool for organizing thoughts or getting started it's a game-changer. especially for someone with ADHD._niko
    • not even that.. write a 1 minute video script in a conversational tone on the benefits of recycling.. BAM.. script doneautoflavour
    • It builds the structure and the scaffolding for all the tedious writing tasks and allows you to tweak and fill in the gaps_niko

    Not sure how it works but it doesn’t seem to scour the internet, it tries to use logic but not super well it seems:

    My test for it:

    A farmer, a chicken, a dog and a bag of grain are trying to cross a river on a small boat, the farmer only had room for himself and one of either the dog, the chicken or the grain to take with him. He must bring all three across to the other side safely. However he can’t leave the dog alone with the chicken because the dog will eat it and he can’t leave the chicken alone with the grain because the chicken will eat it, what’s the solution?

    Chatgpt’s wrong answer:

    One solution would be for the farmer to take the chicken across the river first. He can then leave the chicken on the other side of the river and go back to pick up the dog. The farmer can then bring the dog across the river and leave it with the chicken. Finally, the farmer can go back one more time to pick up the bag of grain and bring it across the river to join the chicken and the dog. This way, the chicken is never left alone with the grain and the dog is never left alone with the chicken, so both the chicken and the grain will remain safe.

    • I kept asking I to ry again and told it why it was getting it wrong but it could never come to the right conclusion_niko
    • What's the answer?shapesalad
    • the hint is drop one off pick one up_niko
    • yes, but if you take grain across first - you leave he dog with the chicken. If you take the dog, you leave chicken with grain.shapesalad
    • if you take chicken.ok, dog and grain left is ok. But, next you got to either take dog or grain and leave it with chicken, so back to no solution.shapesalad
    • the trick is drop one and bring one back for a return journey_niko
    • amazed shape has never encountered this riddlekingsteven
    • ^ to be fair, he may not have a chicken, dog, grain, and/or a river to traverseGnash
    • ^lol same. This is 7 year old stuff. The only reason GPT got it wrong is because children that young aren't playing around with it yet.garbage
    • In grade school I got in trouble for the solution: "Dog and rice in the boat, and I swim behind the boat with the chicken".garbage
    • the drop one, bring one back, still doesn't work. So I take the chicken firstly... now I take the grain, and bring back the chicken. Now i take grain...shapesalad
    • ... but fox has eaten my chicken and Putin has torpedo'd my boat. So I'm f*ck any way I go about it.shapesalad
    • C'mon shape...Take chicken. Come back for dog. Drop dog bring chicken back. Take grain, leave chicken. Drop grain with dog, go back bring chicken for last trip.ETM

    "ChatGPT is incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness.

    it's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now. it’s a preview of progress; we have lots of work to do on robustness and truthfulness."

    me: If we trained our super powerful telescope on a planet a light year away and we observed an outdoor concert by space Elvis and space Elvis also broadcast his concert over the radio, and we had a radio receiver strong enough, we would be able to hear space Elvis’ concert as we watched it through our telescope correct?

    -------------------------------

    If we were able to train a super powerful telescope on a planet that is one light year away and observe a concert by Space Elvis, we would not be able to hear the concert at the same time as we observed it. This is because the distance between the planet and Earth is too great for the sound waves from the concert to reach us in a reasonable amount of time.

    Sound waves travel at a much slower speed than light waves. In the Earth's atmosphere, sound waves typically travel at a speed of about 340 meters per second, or about 0.0012 times the speed of light. This means that it would take sound waves much longer to travel from a planet that is one light year away to Earth than it would for light waves.

    Furthermore, even if Space Elvis were broadcasting his concert over the radio, the radio waves would still need to travel at the speed of light in order to reach us. This means that we would not be able to hear the concert at the same time as we observed it through our telescope.

    In summary, if we were able to observe a concert by Space Elvis on a planet that is one light year away, we would not be able to hear the concert at the same time.

    -------------------------------

    me: ok, If space Elvis who is on a planet 1 light year away broadcast his concert over the radio, we could listen to his concert a year later on our radio receivers correct?

    ------------------------------

    If Space Elvis on a planet that is one light year away broadcast his concert over the radio, it would be possible to listen to his concert on Earth a year later. This is because radio waves travel at the speed of light, which means that it would take them at least one year to travel from the planet to Earth.

    The speed of light is a universal constant, and it is the fastest speed at which anything can travel in the universe. This means that it would take light about 31.6 million seconds, or about one year, to travel from a planet that is one light year away to Earth. Because radio waves travel at the speed of light, it would take them the same amount of time to travel from the planet to Earth.

    Therefore, if Space Elvis on a planet that is one light year away broadcast his concert over the radio, it would be possible to listen to the concert on Earth a year later, when the radio waves reached us.

    In summary, if Space Elvis on a planet that is one light year away broadcast his concert over the radio, it would be possible to listen to the concert on Earth a year later.

    --------------------------------...

    Me: And if at the same time we had a powerful enough telescope to view the concert we could both see it and hear it at the same time

    --------------------------------...

    If we were able to train a super powerful telescope on a planet that is one light year away and observe a concert by Space Elvis, who was also broadcasting his concert over radio waves, we would not be able to hear the concert at the same time as we observed it. This is because the distance between the planet and Earth is too great for the sound waves from the concert to reach us in a reasonable amount of time.

    Sound waves travel at a much slower speed than light waves. In the Earth's atmosphere, sound waves typically travel at a speed of about 340 meters per second, or about 0.0012 times the speed of light. This means that it would take sound waves much longer to travel from a planet that is one light year away to Earth than it would for light waves.

    Even if we were able to observe the concert by Space Elvis from the moment it started, the sound waves from the concert would still take a significant amount of time to reach us. This means that we would not be able to hear the concert at the same time as we observed it.

    Furthermore, even if Space Elvis were broadcasting his concert over the radio, the radio waves would still need to travel at the speed of light in order to reach us. This means that we would not be able to hear the concert at the same time as we observed it through our telescope.

    In summary, it is not possible to hear a concert at the same time as we observe it through a telescope, even if we are able to observe the concert from the moment it starts.

    • I've been arguing with it all night about space Elvis lol_niko
  • _niko3

    What a time saver.

    I've been using it to do the most mind-numbing tasks like writing scope of work, processes, methodologies etc for proposals.

    Things that would take me days and sucked the life out of me I can now do in minutes.
