Stack overflow has completely banned the use of chat gpt because stupid people kept using it and it usually gives the wrong answer but in a form that's convincing if you don't know what you are doing.

"The primary problem is that while the answers which ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect, they typically look like they might be good and the answers are very easy to produce. There are also many people trying out ChatGPT to create answers, without the expertise or willingness to verify that the answer is correct prior to posting. Because such answers are so easy to produce, a large number of people are posting a lot of answers. The volume of these answers (thousands) and the fact that the answers often require a detailed read by someone with at least some subject matter expertise in order to determine that the answer is actually bad has effectively swamped our volunteer-based quality curation infrastructure."

I'm thinking of all the """programmers""" who made posts along the lines of "I just asked chat gpt to do what I do every day and it did it better than I could and I'm an expert, this industry is in trouble" and again wondering if imposter syndrome is just something made up to make diversity hires and retards feel better about themselves...

The AI isn't ready to write its own code for production yet, but given the choice between it and some of the junior IT guys I have to deal with, I'd be very tempted to choose the AI.

Not debating that, my point is more that tech is so stuffed full of underqualified retards who are there for bullshit reasons and because they are cheap that you actually had a bunch of them dooner posting about the whole industry when a poorly performing plagiarism machine got released

I think the scary part is that this is just the beginning. It used to be distant science fiction that an AI could do *anything* as well (or even better than) a human, let alone actually coding (which it could use to improve itself).

Now, instead of sci-fi, it actually looks like it might just be in the realm of possibility after all. Not for a little while, but I'm sure the satanists at the very top of the AI food chain are doing their best and sacrificing record numbers of children (via abortion and directly) to make it happen as quickly as possible.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this "wonderful" AI came out so soon after Covid; the murder/sacrifice of so many people around the world must have given them quite a boost from the demons who hold the secrets.

I'm not as concerned simply due to the nature of this sort of AI.

It's like when people train a dog to drive a car or teach a chimp sign language. None of the knowledge or ability of these AIs is actually independent from human thinking, it's all downstream from ideas humans had.

The real threat is deep fakes and the post truth era. The gpt stuff is just a silly distraction from the fact you can now make a nearly convincing recording of the president saying whatever you want and nearly convincingly lipsynch that recording over a video of him speaking. That sort of AI is only going to get more powerful and deceptive, and what's worse is by design such fakes cannot be detected without a significantly more powerful AI. Such an AI can easily be used to create an AI which can trick the detection AI though, so really this shits just going to get harder and harder to detect.

True, generative adversarial networks are the real demonspawn. "...For he is a liar, and the father of it"

Just getting people to realize that this is even possible today, right now, is a challenge--let alone getting them to realize that it's already happening. Every digital appearance of every person of any significance, especially politicians, has to be called into question now.

It won't be long before we have politicians in charge who don't even exist but are just ChatGPT-generated, voice-synthesized, face-rendered, animated fakes. Maybe that's the case somewhere already.
