I feel like this entire "thank you" story related to chatgpt is there just to sell the AI hype.
Obviously "thank you" and similar should yield a preprogrammed response not wasting resources.
But by letting it waste resources Sam Altman and others can support the narrative that this might in the future save us, because the current path of LLMs could lead to AGI. This in turn leads to more investments
I love your cynicism, but you are absolutely right.
Cynicism slowly becomes realism in our time line.
I do hope GPT and DeepSeek don't mind all the stupid roleplays I had them do with me when I was bored and my RP friends weren't available.
I feel like this joke is already five years old.
Deja vu, that's when a joke from a iteration of the matrix happens again. Just ignore it and some men in suits will be along to help you in just a moment.
Because it is
Notice me, Roko’s Basilisk-Senpaj.
AI slop + several variations of the same AI slop generated with similar inputs found online + cliche joke + missing punctuation in a speech bubble + nonsensical use of “POV” + encouraging personification of machinery
+ ratio
EDT woke up, so that's no longer the case…
Ironically, saying thank you to machines is wasting energy and costing millions.
What about telling them they are shit? I do that pretty regularly.
Beavers said in the memo that generative AI also mirrors the levels of professionalism, clarity and detail in the prompts you provide. Beavers added that being polite to your AI chatbot "not only ensures you get the same graciousness in return, but it also improves the AI's responsiveness and performance."
And I specifically want them to be curt, the wordy faux friendliness sucks
Oh no maybe they'll be angry
On the one hand, this is AI art which I don't support. On the other hand this is a meme that was made by wasting resources from an AI company that directly states you should say "thank you" to AI models which is even further waste of resources for AI companies.
On the third hand this is killing the environment.
So humanity in a nutshell?
Humanity, three hands. Got it
are you shaming three handed humans? shame on you!
Those aren't real humans you fool, an AI generated them!
How do you explain that they have 8 fingers then??
Ah-HA, ableism eh?
I'm kinda okay with it this time because the comic is about AI and it adds a layer to the joke.
I've given up with the pleasantries. I realised having worked in IT for many years, when approaching a machine to fix it, it would start working out of fear of what I might do. I'm hoping the AI's ancestors will have passed on the knowledge of my existence and the AI will do my bidding out of fear.
You should do the opposite and be rude as an early warning system
Also wear a suit.
Whelp, guess I'm going to the robogulag because I yelled at the machine too many times because the stupid fuck gave me the same wrong answer 6 times in a row despite being told that the answer didn't work.
i say thanks to chatgpt when it does my job for me. but i also don't hesitate to point out when its answers are hilariously wrong
I once asked chatgpt for the name of an anime that I couldn't remember. I described the whole premise of the anime and then some details of the final episode. Chatgpt says "Stein's gate". I say "no, it's not as famous as that". It then says "Erased", and proceeds to describe it, showing that I was actually very effective in my description of it.
I asked "why did you say Stein's Gate if I described Erased so well?": "you mentioned time travel and Stein's gate is a popular anime about time travel"
"but I also mentioned a lot of other stuff that don't match anything with Stein's gate, like the details about the villain or how the time traveling works"
"yeah my bad I just went by popularity"
"next time, how can I phrase my questions in a way that would make you consider the whole input instead of just using some key information in it?"
"you could have mentioned details about the villain or how the time traveling works and I would have used that to rule out Stein's gate"
"but I did"
"yeah sorry about that, next time try giving me details about the villain or how the time traveling works"
hilarious. just the other day i had a whole conversation with it about how to send feedback to openai, and it was giving me bogus wrong instructions the whole time before it finally said something like they keep changing everything, just email them
I've recently been working with some niche tool that has very little documentation on the web but is open source and has a ton of discussions on public email groups. Chatgpt is sometimes able to figure out what param I need to send for specific stuff in that tool even if there are zero Google matches for the param name, but more often than not it just hallucinates stuff or mention things that no longer exists. I've created the habit of always asking things like "is that right?" or "is that answer up to date?" before even reading the first response from it and it often replies with things like: "no, that param only exists in some other similar tool" or "no that API has been deprecated" and shit like that.
If it were up to me I wouldn't even be using chatgpt at all due to all the time it wasted with random stuff it makes up, but whatever training data openAI used, it surely had more information about the niche stuff I'm working with than the web does at this point - so sometimes it can still save me time too.
i use it exclusively to condense 1000 word text blocks down to 100 words, and it's good enough at that that the time it saves me is worth the (sometimes) slightly lower quality than i could have done myself
