I don't think people fully understand the mandate. I also think too much trust is put in some safeguards built into it.
It can only be what is allowed to be input, which makes everything predictive.
Someone mentioned a Markov chain, but it's more elaborate than that. It predicts the next word based on context asked, not on what comes before.

An error being “sticky” is a great way to put it as far as the modeling goes. Gets to a more fundamental problem of the reward structure not optimizing for more objective truths and instead rewarding plausible or more pleasing responses but not necessarily completely factual.
I do wonder if there was any way to generate a confidence estimation with answers, and allow for the concept of “I don’t know.” as a valid approach in a low confidence response. In some cases a truthful acknowledgement of the lack of an answer may be more useful/beneficial than a made-up response

The Apple OS is their justification to charge $3000 for a computer. If someone can just buy an HP and throw Mac OS on it that is going to hurt their computer sales.
Also Apple will be slowly dropping support for Intel. They have moved their entire line over at this point so in another 4 years or so they will announce no support for Intel on their OS. They will market it as a good thing like they did when they dropped G4 and G5 support in OS 10.6.

Why doesn't Google ask Deep Mind to help the ChatBot Bard?

Yes but the difference here, argumentatively, is that for soft-intelligence such as language and facts determining what is absolutely correct can be much harder and people's instinct for what is correct can be very off base.
Conversely, we understand numbers, units etc. enough. But, I suppose the analogy also works in a different way: most people don't understand quadratic equations anymore, or advanced proofs, but most people also don't try to use a calculator for that normally.
Conversely, we often need assistance and look up soft-intelligence information and rely on accuracy, while most citizens lack the knowledge necessary to easily identify a problem with the answer.
So, sort of two sides to the same coin about human fallibility and reliance on knowledge-based tools.

I asked for specific code to do a certain task in a certain language.I googled the code & could not find it. I changed the specs, and chatgpt rewrote the code line by line while explaining to me what and why it was doing. original code. not parroted from some github or forum. code that is false does not run. philosophy or opinions i can see it making stuff up- no right or wrong there. code works or it doesn’t. I put it through multiple change requests & this code worked perfectly 5 out of 4 times.

Idk. I had it write some react components for me, knowing nothing about react. They all worked though lol. It even does magento 2 modules. Pretty fucking cool if you ask me.

It’s frustrating because my motherboard supports TPM 2.0 and I have it enabled but they still won’t support it. I have a 6600k.

Pretty much hit the point of my original post. ChatGPT is a great tool if you already have an idea of what sort of answer to expect. It is not reliable in generating accurate and trustworthy answers to questions that you don’t know the answer to, especially if there are any consequences to being wrong. If you did not know 2+2 = 4 and ChatGPT confidently told you the answer was √-1, you would now be in a pickle.
A sort of corollary point to this, is that the clickbait and hype over ChatGPT replacing jobs like programmers for example, is at least in its current form rather overstated. Generating code with ChatGPT requires a programmer to frame and guide the AI in constructing the code, and then a trained programmer to evaluate the validity of the code and fix any implementation or interpretation errors in the generation of the said code.

Fr, I was having trouble trying to get some programs installed and kept running into error codes that I didn’t understand. I spent a good amount of time looking for answers online but I ended finding people either repeating the questions as well or just not very good relevant answers. It was getting time consuming. I hoped on chatGPT it was like talking to an IT person. Also helped me with some code I was having trouble with. It pointed out errors and even gave me some resources to check out to get more straight to the point answers too.

The union says 15 of their members were fired, out of 30+ total fired. Why would you trust Tesla when they say only 1 "identified" with the union? Tesla doesn't even recognize the union yet, I doubt they have a thorough count of every employee that's involved.

That’s what they are saying, Microsoft doesn’t intend to make a version of windows that will boot natively on Apple silicon.

They tried that a long time ago and it cost them a lot of money so they dumped the program.

I mean, yeah? Apple Silicon is proprietary, so Apple would need to work with Microsoft to run it natively which won't happen.
