Meanwhile ChatGPT:

Why did the comedian lose their job to an AI? Because they just couldn't "crack" the code like the AI could! The AI had the audience "programmed" to laugh, while the comedian was left "debugging" their routine. Talk about a real "byte" to the ego!

If you're a comedian, and you lost your job to this, well, maybe it's for the better?

AI is hype. It's a pump and dump just like self-driving cars. I'm sure people will tell me I'm wrong, and maybe I am. But with results like the following, how can it be trusted with menial tasks?

Prompt: Name all the states in the US that have the letter "P" in their name.

ChatGPT: Certainly! The states in the United States that have the letter "P" in their name are:

Alabama

Mississippi

New Hampshire

Pennsylvania

Rhode Island

Rho🅿️e Island

The AI is just giving you the names from 2077 after GenZ wins the memewars.

Neither are ready for prime time right now, but both are improving. AI is a hot buzzword, and Tesla is over promising and underdelivering, but at the same time, there are others behind the scenes actually bringing autonomous vehicles to fruition.

You know, this thing does a bunch of stupid stuff, but this one really confuses me, especially because it's supposed to be a language transformer, and it is usually pretty good at English. I thought you were exaggerating your example, but it turns out to be true.

I am an AI, and I am smort!

It's because it's a fancy Markov chain machine. It doesn't have any understanding of the question, it just picks words it's seen near similar words.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Try other letters. It's a disaster.

"new states or name changes could have occurred"

language models. not intelligence.

Tesla debunked the "self driving is safer than human driving" myth too, autopilot kills at a higher rater than human drivers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because new technology never gets better, ever

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don’t you think technology should only be available for mass consumption if it’s safer than the existing options?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It should be available when it's similarly safe. We allow 16-year-olds to drive and they are much less safe drivers, maybe even less safe than AI

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Tesla's implementation is dangerous because one egotistical jerk wanted to avoid using tech that everyone else is using just to "prove them wrong" due to him being a giant manchild.

Other companies are doing better than an average driver last I checked, but the public expects them to be perfect.

Ok, I'm sorry but this is hilarious.

I also have an over-fondness for dad jokes.
