I just started playing with this today. I asked “ What’s the best use for a flashlight?”
A flashlight is a versatile tool that can be used in many different situations. Some of the best uses for a flashlight include:
Illumination in low-light conditions: Flashlights are great for providing light in dark environments, such as a power outage or when camping.
Emergency situations: In the event of a power failure, a flashlight can be used as a temporary source of light.
Nighttime navigation: A flashlight can be used to help navigate in the dark, such as finding your way to a door or down a dark path.
Inspecting objects: A flashlight can be used to inspect objects in hard-to-see areas, such as underneath a car or in the back of a closet.
Self-defense: In certain situations, a flashlight can also be used as a tool for self-defense by disorienting an attacker with a bright light.
These are just a few examples of the many uses for a flashlight. The specific use may vary depending on the type of flashlight and the environment it is being used in.
Apparently it's so good that some students at prestigious colleges got an average of a "B+" on papers they submitted that were written by ChatGPT.
It's totally unethical, but I was really bad at writing papers in college, and I would have been tempted to use ChatGPT if it were available when I was in college.
Of course, ChatGPT can be used for a bunch of good stuff as well, y'know if one doesn't use it to cheat.
I only had to write like 2 papers in college and I got my girlfriend to write them in exchange for doing her calculus homework.
Even to this day I feel like I have poor writing skills.
Given that any kid in school can do this and it would be very difficult to detect, it seems like education will need to change dramatically or be even more useless than it was for me.
The thing about AI is that it’s a bit too good sometimes, too perfect. I’ve noticed that with Google Translate, it’s definitely gotten impressively good over the years, and in many cases it could be said that it translates the text “perfectly”. But to anybody who fluently speaks both the source and target languages it reeks of perfection, giving a stiff and overly-formal translation that no human would ever say quite like that, usually mimicking the exact same sentence structure and idea order from the source language in the target language. That’s not how human languages work. So it seems like a competent teacher/professor would usually be able to detect that AI flavor in a research paper too, especially if the student is normally a bit of a slacker; imagine if s/he suddenly turns in a flawlessly spelled and conjugated paper with a high language level.
Actually it seems that something like ChatGPT might actually be more useful for specific technical inquiries and coding where pedantry is more important than semantics. I can quickly search for and read human articles about any high-level subject online, but sometimes a very specific inquiry is where a traditional search engine can come up short. The examples I’ve seen show that ChatGPT is already pretty capable for that use case.
And then there’s this:
But to my ears the conclusion that they reach is rather insulting to real musicians. While it’s not bad and is surely impressive technology, it again reeks of AI, the music phrasing doesn’t go anywhere, and it just feels lost. Like Google is jamming away by itself in a home studio with no audience, which is well and good, but don’t try to sell me a concert ticket for that.
Babies are formed through a process called fertilization, where a sperm from a male fertilizes an egg from a female, forming a zygote. The zygote then divides into multiple cells and grows into a fetus, which is carried in the uterus until birth. This process typically occurs during sexual intercourse, but can also occur through assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
I think this still falls squarely in the category of Narrow AI.
But Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can
Which leads to the superintelligence explosion
if an AI were created with engineering capabilities that matched or surpassed those of its human creators, it would have the potential to autonomously improve its own software and hardware to design an even more capable machine, which could repeat the process in turn. This recursive self-improvement could accelerate, potentially allowing enormous qualitative change before any upper limits imposed by the laws of physics or theoretical computation set in
I can say that it’s wrong sometimes. I asked an IT-related question and it have an incorrect answer. It’s a great tool but i won’t blindly trust it. I’m thinking the new version coming in a few weeks will be more accurate
Someone I know is very interested in ChatGPT for cheating potential but doesn’t want to go through the hassle of creating a new email and making an account to use it. I refuse to get involved.
This looks incredibly intriguing and I know absolutely nothing about it. Now I have to venture off and get educated. It’s interesting how I come to BLF for information about flashlights and so often, I come away with much more than I had expected. Once again, thanks for the heads-up.
I used to be an examiner on a board certification for a professional organization. There is software out there that can match original to plagiarized. Since AI is nothing more than a complex program it will have syntax similarities that are common to the programming. We caught out quite a few plagiarisms, even though plagiarism was grounds for failure. People thought they could get away with it, even after the program was described to them.
Universities have also been using the software for years. Given enough of a database, it will be able to isolate AI derived papers.
