If you're going to use it, just spend a few hours experimenting and get a feel for what it can and can't do reliably. It's capable of some amazing things, but it also has huge gaps.

I asked it yesterday if it could decode uuencoded text and gave it a sample. It said sure, and decoded it as "Hello world" which wasn't what it said at all. Base64-encoded text, though, it supports and can decode appropriately - but it was equally as confident in its ability to decode both formats.

If you really want to see it freak out a little, try Base64-encoding some directions for it. It'll process them, sort of, but goes very slowly and gets confused between whether it's supposed to be interpreting things or repeating them.

> It can only search out the most common next word for the context asked.

This is not actually true. That was an accurate description of earlier versions of GPT, and is part of how ChatGPT and InstructGPT were trained, but ChatGPT and InstructGPT use reinforcement learning to teach the models to do more complex tasks based on human preferences.

Also, and this is more of a nitpick, but "next word" would be greedy search, and I'm pretty sure ChatGPT uses beam search, which looks multiple words ahead.

It’s not like legit reviews and firing pro-union individuals are mutually exclusive. The ones that would benefit the most from unionizing would be the ones in danger of failing their PIP’s/scoring poorly in successive reviews.

I do note the guy said he was told he was “exceeding expectations” but that may have been a lie from either party involved.

I’m an idiot, I can’t believe I wasn’t able to do a simple google search, egg on my face. Had I googled it I’d have seen that they disinvested in 2014, and I’d have also seen they did the charity work to increase the number of farmers in 2010! 4 years before selling and as we all know that time travel isn’t possible, but idk I’m not a lawyer

If we knew what answers we should be getting, why would we ask the question, though?

To your analogy, I don’t plug numbers into a calculator because I already know the answer I’m gonna get.

I think the move is just to fact check the AI if the correctness of the answer is so important, right? At least while it’s in Beta.

It’s very clear about it’s limitations right up front.

Cheating on taxes? Again remember you and me have spoken about several ways in which nonprofits are used to increase someone’s financial position, not all ways involve taxes. One way was using a nonprofit to create rental income on property the nonprofit utilizes. That’s not avoiding taxes that’s benefiting financially in a legal method by utilizing a nonprofit in a way to enrich oneself.

Because Coca-Cola wants to do business with bill gates, he is one of the primary shareholders of Coca-Cola, plus Coca-Cola wants to be able to pay farmers less money for their products but there aren’t enough farmers producing what they want, so they are increasing the number of farmers to increase competitiveness to drive cocacolas costs further into the ground
