As someone who has used AI to write short stories, it often needs constant redirection and does not have factual knowledge, and while the first three statements are more than valid, ChatGPT cannot be trusted as an authority on anything, and anyone who does will at best be sorely dissapointed, or at worst, could get themselves or others hurt.</p>Ravelli Ormstein commented on 'I Thought ChatGPT Was Impressive.

It wrote a nice script, but it didn't work because the AI was using an LSL function that didn't exist. So I complained about it. The AI apologised and fixed the script by using another non-existent function. This went on until I specifically asked for a script that only used existing functions. The script was usable and in the style we usually write them, with a 300 second timer. The AI kept apologising for making mistakes until I asked it never to apologise again.</p>
<p>Then I asked it to optimise an SQL statement (code for connecting to a database). The result looked clever and inspiring, but it didn't work. </p>
<p>Later I asked it to write a Christmas poem using eight specific words. The result was a soulless set of short sentences using those eight words. But no real story, no rhyme and no Christmas feeling. The same thing happened when I asked for song lyrics.</p>
<p>When I asked it to write short stories, I got better results. I tried it a few times, asking for changes each time. The resulting stories were all of the same length and complexity. Their level was that of a primary school pupil. Only one of the stories had a remarkable ending, which made me save it. So somehow the same story pattern was used every time.</p>
<p>Overall, the results weren't very good. This AI really seems to be just a word processor: it produces correct texts linguistically, but the statements are wrong.</p>

<p>Thanks! Maybe I was thinking about the Mechanical Turk all along, or read a fictional story where it was turned into a harpsichord player.</p>
<p>Funny that Amazon has an human-powered automation system called... Mechanical Turk.</p>Brad Templeton commented on 'I Thought ChatGPT Was Impressive.

You may have heard it called a large language model. It only knows language. It knows no facts at all. It only knows things that are sensible and probable language. Not knowing any facts, it's very impressive that it still says correct facts. It is not in any way a failure that it gets some things wrong and makes stuff up. That is what it is supposed to do.</p>
<p>It's answers are amazing, and only viewed as useless because you thought it was something that it isn't.</p>Adeon commented on 'I Thought ChatGPT Was Impressive.

<p>> <i>ChatGPT is mostly just giving you back a collection of Google search answers in readable text.</i></p>
<p>Yeah. And maybe that could have a positive effect in education: in the future, you might not be able to pass an assignment by handing in a collection of Google search answers in readable text, because that answer could be generated automatically and is therefore worthless.</p>
