Is there any job you’d trust chatGPT4 to do for you right now?
I think I’d trust it to read my email and archive stuff I don’t care about

Personally no, maybe summarising text I've provided or arranging things for me yes, like putting things into tables or sourcing scripts for me to try
But i think theres a large portion of people who would and do trust it blindly, the myth or marketing around AI and relatively positive experiences lull people into a believing these things are faultless and I think it will only rise, if we look at how many people blindly believe things ranking on google or showing up on social media feeds (many already created with AI) why would LLMs be seen as any different?
People are lazy and just want instant answers, quality doesn't matter
Totally agree on the thought that lots of people will never question what it says.. even though it’s right in front of their face that by changing their prompt up they can get it to answer in contradicting ways.
People too are not faultless though right?
One thing you said caught my attention, maybe I’m making something of nothing but when you say “sourcing scripts” it makes me want to emphasize that I have it write on a nearly daily basis scripts that I’m quite sure don’t exist anywhere on the internet.
It *understands* in some non-conscious war, because understanding is a better way to score well during training than memorizing.
I’m a heavy LLM user, my perception is that the state of the art models as of today make mistakes less frequently than nearly all the humans I interact with both professionally and socially. But even better is the fact that it’s always available and responds instantly. That takes communication cycles which previously would have been between me and a human down by 10-1000x, for pennies. So much better.
On the mistakes topic, not sure if you’ve tried this before, but ask it to put on a new persona and critique what the other LLM persona said and it can form a council of unique individuals critiquing the ideas and working to find the best answer with whatever method you like.
