You can ask it some pretty obscure things actually, for which you can be fairly sure that no prior content exists, and it’s still able to create new material. It’s not just regurgitating material.

Especially good at essays. Can make an essay about why x from your favorite anime is inherently evil or not, for example, choose a length, it’ll give you a coherent essay of approximately that length. It’s absolutely capable of connecting ideas (concepts and scenes from a show to the idea of “inherently evil”, for example - or in this case likely, something that it knows about meerkats to something it knows about poker- and connect the two in a manner that is normal for a joke based on its training.)

And? This is artificial intelligence.

fiftythreefiftyfive t1_j55337s wrote

“ At this point AI can only be trained on existing data, its not creating novel nueral connections that could result in original thought.”

Ah… no

AI also learns on feedback loop, and randomizes. So - it fosters a sense of what is “good”, based on feedback loop, and can create new things based on that feedback loop.

barneysfarm t1_j5537d0 wrote

fiftythreefiftyfive t1_j5554an wrote

It is. Like, you can ask it for essays about extremely obsucure topics that likely no one ever wrote an essay on. Specify a length. Even on abstract topics - (whether some character from a not all too well known show is inherently evil or not). It’ll produce you a coherent answer, mention all the relevant scenes, you can adjust what position you want it to take or how long you want the essay to be etc…

What it’s strongest at currently, is the ability to tie ideas together - for example, scenes from a show and concepts (such as “inherently evil”). Hence why it’s particularly good at essays.

barneysfarm t1_j555el5 wrote

And it all depends on the user, the code, and the data it pulls from to make a response. It's not independently creative or intelligent, it is great at making people believe it is.

fiftythreefiftyfive t1_j556cn0 wrote

It’s not just making trees. That’s part of it, sure, but a big part of it is artificial neural networks (don’t mind the name, I don’t like it either) with feedback loops. You can think of it as a more efficient form of evolution - random modifications in its behavior that leads to changes in outcome, behavior that is then either encouraged or discouraged based on feedback (based on human input and if it’s well made, on self-testing). That’s part of the code. And that type of code is capable of creating new things, new solutions.

barneysfarm t1_j556xjt wrote

I dont disagree with you. The point I was trying to make in reply to the original comment is that it simply cannot be independently creative given that everything in its function depends on the inputs it receives from the user, the data it has to pull from, and sure, an evolving code base.

It's the same reason that yes it can string together existing thoughts from existing data into an essay, but it hasn't produced any novel ideas because it can only pull from existing data.

2

fiftythreefiftyfive t1_j5594u3 wrote

The point I’m trying to make is that this evolving code part is capable of creativity, or at least a very good imitation of it.

That’s the main thing distinguishing old chess/go bots from the new generation, which has become way, way stronger. The old bots essentially just did depth searches and then evaluated positions based on spoon fed human knowledge. This was a big hurdle for Go bots in particular, because depth searches are extremely computationally difficult with a board that large.

The new generation instead, plays millions of games against itself. It randomly changes its strategies over time. If it wins, it tells itself, “hey I won! Maybe that is worth remembering”, slightly changes it’s code accordingly and continues building from there.

These type of bots are capable of coming up with completely new strategies on their own. Again - not just through search trees, that’s completely infeasible for a game like go - but by modifying its own code incrementally until it knows how to play the game. And similar things can happen here, even to a lesser degree. Go/chess have the advantage of having very clear outlines of what “good” is - if you win the game, good, have your cookies continue just like that, sport. For essays etc… it’s a bit more vague - the best we have is user feedback, and you need some separate intelligent code to generate “feedback” on its own. But in this manner, it does something that is, imo, akin to “creativity”

barneysfarm t1_j55f5ul wrote

It still cannot do so independently. That's my point. It depends entirely on our collective knowledge to do any of that. It is not creative by itself.

Except for the fact that you can sit with no stimuli and still end up with outputs from your brain.

ChatGPT is entirely dependent on a creative user if it is going to make a creative output. It will not do so independently, which has been my entire point. It can only be perceived as creative because it relies on creative work and inputs from creative beings.

It's combing available data and making matches based on prompts and feedback.

The brain can actually make new connections that never existed before. All AI does at this point is spoof the brain, and its believeable enough but clearly not independently intelligent.

splashdust t1_j553nq2 wrote

> It's combing available data and making matches based on prompts and feedback.

Again, essentially what brains does. The brain actually spoofs itself into believing that you where the one who came up with the idea or thought. But actually it’s an autonomic process that happens well before you are aware of the outcome.

0

barneysfarm t1_j553zp9 wrote

Except the brain can actually derive new ideas independently, whereas this is software that depends upon prompts and rules to return output. It is not independently intelligent by any means, nor creative.

You can make the same argument for most people, myself included. But we are fortunate enough to be able to think outside of a prompt/response format, because we are not bounded by code.

3

splashdust t1_j5576hl wrote

I’m not disputing that human brains can derive new ideas independently, just saying that they do it in a way similar to large language models.

The human though process constantly loops back on itself, essentially creating its own prompts, and we have the means to evaluate the outcomes and determine it’s value to us. We can also feel something about it, which, of course, a language model can’t.

A tool like ChatGPT is essentially a brain expansion addon. Our brains only have so much capacity for information, and learning new information take a lot of work. Now we can outsource some of that, and we can still evaluate and feel our way to an end result, just as we would when it came from our own brain.

So I would argue that human interaction with ChatGPT still produces a creative outcome. One could argue that it is a less personal one, but depending on the situation that doesn’t necessarily matter.

2

barneysfarm t1_j557uqn wrote

I agree with you. And I can see the validity of the argument that you can have a creative outcome, primarily because you have a creative being interacting with the tool.

What I was trying to emphasize, in response to the original comment on this thread, is that it is not yet independently creative or intelligent. It relies on our intelligence and creativity. I could have expressed that better.

Is this chatgpt just copying jokes from it's huge corpus of training data, or actually making these jokes up? If so, that's fucking amazing

26

Trevor_GoodchiId t1_j5536ux wrote

It's more complex than just copying - it can pick up contexts in which word sequences occur from multiple examples, even if those weren't arranged that specific way originally.

That said, it has no understanding of what meerkats, cards or jokes are, just that this text in this order may occur statistically in relation to user query.

This works well for narrative content, because there are no strict flow requirements and the result is error tolerant - we give it leeway as readers.

attofreak t1_j554sc5 wrote

That's it, and that is why I don't get the mania or paranoia around it. Technically, it's a great achievement and a step in right direction to create a machine better capable at understanding context. It is really good at ascertaining the right context and use of language. The only "disruptive" event going to happen is now you can go to chatGPT for queries rather than Google search. Already, other software can identify when a student just copies chatGPT response for assignment, so it didn't really negatively affect academia. It would be something if Google could match that context-awareness in its search algo. It already is quite good, but sometimes it is a bit difficult, especially with technical searches.

I certainly wouldn't say it has no idea what a Meerkat or cards are.

Dall-e has the same structure as ChatGTP. With Dall-E you can ask for the back of a Meerkat, or a stack of cards in the shape of a Meerkat.

It deeply understands what the concept it and how to 'draw' it.

So ChatGTP certainly would have a conceptual understanding of ideas.

Voctus t1_j553egk wrote

When I’ve asked generically for a joke, it seems like I get an existing joke. But if you give it some specific parameters (“tell me an Ole and Lena joke about flying a kite”) then you get something structured like a joke but the punchline isn’t funny. The program doesn’t understand humor, it’s just stringing together words that are a “likely” response to your prompt

Themasterofcomedy209 t1_j553pmu wrote

It’s literally just copying jokes. I vividly remember reading the meerkat joke but with a different animal, then telling it to someone years ago.

Someone else in this thread even asked “tell me a joke why aren’t pelicans invited to play poker” and chatgpt just replies “because they always keep their cards close to their chest”

You can argue it’s what humans do but chatgpt is not thinking up jokes

Archinatic t1_j551b36 wrote

Argueably not too different from the way humans would. It doesn't have a literal library of jokes. It is trained on jokes and based on that training it's network forms a certain logic that is then able to produce jokes on it's own.

say592 t1_j553em2 wrote

The whole point of ChatGPT is that its not just showing you information from other sources, everything is "original". Its trying to tell you what it thinks you want to hear based on what it has "observed" in the wild. So it has probably heard the response "It holds its cards too close to its chest" and decided that is a response that would make sense. As iterations go on and it receives feedback, it should get a better idea of how these responses work and whether people like them or not, and it will get better. Even just a couple of years ago if you asked a chatbot to write you a poem, you might use one line out of ten, then ask it again, use another line, etc until you have collected enough responses that make sense or are good. ChatGPT, on the other hand, tends to yield responses that are good enough the first time and can piece together a cohesive poem, story, article, etc.

fiftythreefiftyfive t1_j55424h wrote

I don’t feel fooled by it, I work with ML professionally so I have a fairly good idea about how it was created. It’s not scraping jokes and swapping animals.

Or perhaps, it made the connection between punchline “holds its cards too close to its chest!”, the premise for the joke (not being invited to play poker) and a subject (an animal).

Much like a psychic does, it gave you a vague answer, and you made the connection and attributed intent of actions on its part in your mind.

Further proof is the person who repeated your test with another animal (to whom the posture would absolutely not apply) and it gave the same punchline, just with that animal.

Except AI is already exceeding most people’s abilities as we speak… AI just passed the bar exam. Can the average person do that? AI beat humans in an art competition last year. Humans haven’t beat AI in a chess tournament in like 15 years. And it’s still only in its infancy. Think about what it’ll be capable of in 5 years.

You're comparing purpose built AI with average human for the bar exam?

And chess is also not a great example, as there are finite number of possible moves. In any system requiring significant inductive reasoning, or environments that are unstructured/chaotic, AI typically struggles without extensive human guidance.

I pointed out chess thing in a thread a couple of weeks ago and got downvoted to hell. People simply don’t understand that the best human players haven’t been able to beat best chess engines for years now. An discussion from 2010 - https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/can-the-top-players-beat-the-best-computers-anymore

Anything that’s formulaic, computers have been better at it for years. But it hasn’t made it irrelevant. We still have chess tournaments because it’s a sport and we want to see human greatness and excellence. Not the limits of chess game play.

Irrelevant. You’ve said nothing that disproves that AI is still capable of exceeding human abilities already. AI is already more accurate than doctors. Thinking AI won’t eventually exceed even the best human minds in pretty much every sector is basically the same as those morons who thought the internet was a fad that would die out in the first five years.

A calculator exceeds human abilities regarding math.

A toaster exceeds human abilities regarding heat generation.

This "AI" is another tool we use.

The difference is that the tasks AI are beginning to beat us in are becoming increasingly more and more complex. AI is beginning to beat us at full jobs now. That’s different. Anyone who can’t see the upcoming paradigm shift AI will create is just willfully playing blind. The coming AI won’t just be another tool that helps us get the job done. It’ll soon do the job better than we ever could. Do you think that will have the same impact on society as a fucking toaster?

>full jobs

And thats only an issue for humans who treat themselves as tools to be used by someone else.

A value creator uses AI to generate value faster and cheaper. AI frees creators from having to do mundane tasks. People like you fear this seismic shift because all you can do is follow orders.

If you look at any of the prior 3 industrial revolutions, more jobs were created by technology replacing humans than jobs destroyed - but it also required the average worker to be increasingly skilled and fluent with the new tech.

Drop the pseudo-philosophical nonsense. Understanding the gravity and magnitude of something isn’t necessarily the same as fearing it. Don’t try and lecture me about this topic if you’re gonna make such ignorant assumptions.

And just so you know, past performance doesn’t necessarily always predict future events. So using the past to say “see, these other times such and such didn’t occur…” is fallacious thinking. You’re not the intellectual you seem to think you are if you couldn’t spot such an obvious fallacy in your logic tbh.

No. A fucking paint brush simply helped you paint better. It didn’t paint the entire fucking picture for you. Rendering all of your skills and experience now useless in the process. Get it? That’s the difference between this coming wave of AI versus past “innovations”. If you can’t see the obvious nuance here, may God have mercy on your naive, oblivious soul tbh. 😂 You likely won’t be ready for the upcoming seismic shifts these new technologies will create.

I think it's more that I adapt to change quite easily and do it all the time, so the changes this will add over the years will be nothing spectacularly different for me.

I'll use it as another tool to make myself more useful to clients.

That was mostly intended as a joke, but following your line of argument I'd argue there are areas where AI still cannot compete with humans, e.g. following your bar lead, some court cases are not won based on evidence but by appealing to the emotions of the jury. AI will only ever know what humans teach it, it can "invent" based on what it's taught :)
(obviously, not undermining the potential of AI in any way- huge fan here ;))

Yes but it has no awareness that it’s doing that. No understanding. It does not have thoughts.

BigZaddyZ3 t1_j559g3r wrote

Why is that relevant to whether or not it completes the task better than us? You’re trying to move the goal post to something you think is uniquely human (vague shit like “thoughts” and “awareness”)

A thought is basically just an internal process, instruction, or reaction that stems from a change in the body or environment. In certain senses, any machine that can discern it’s environment (and facilitate internal reaction processes to that environment) can “think” technically. Thinking isn’t even some magical ability unique to us. Even some of the simplest life forms can “think”. AI is already showing promise in that area and will only get better with time.

I wasn’t saying you’re claiming that, my bad. I was just offering my response to how I think about ChatGPT.

I disagree about thinking though. Thinking isn’t simply processing information (which our computers already do). And being a person (which I know you aren’t claiming chatGPT to be) requires awareness and subjectivity. Which clever AI algorithms are not.

Whether we ever could create self aware, sentient, conscious AI, I have no clue.

Okay but I didn’t say it was merely processing information. It’s the combination of both processing the current stimuli and internally reacting to it. That’s it. Thinking isn’t really unique or special. Us humans are just used to being the best at it. That won’t last forever though. For better or worse.

>>Whether we ever could create self aware, sentient, conscious AI, I have no clue.

Many experts in the field see it as a matter of when, not if. Very few challenge “the singularity” as a concept. Only when it’ll occur.

Just like all big business. It's actually horrifying, but no billionaires were made without exploiting vast quantities of other, less fortunate humans in the process. However, we still buy their products and close our eyes to the great injustices of the 21st century.

The minimum hourly wage in Kenya is around $0,7. A $2/hour equals around $340 per month which is on par with the average entry level salary for Junior Software Devs there who have a salary range of $80 to $550 per month.

However looking at the living costs in Kenya, it seems with the $2 per hour, one would only be able to live paycheck to paycheck.

You're going to have to provide a source for that claim.

Also, $2 USD per hour works out to $39,712 KES (Kenyan Shilling) per month, which ranges from twice their minimum wage to slightly over it.

Huh. Had to check. The average hourly pay in Kenya is like $6, assuming standard workdays and hours. Not sure if those check out, but even if they do 80 hour weeks, it's still over $3.

Are Kenyans that smart? Mentioned everywhere. My uncle hired a Kenyan to develop a business and did it so well for 2500 dollars only, an American developer was charging 6000 dollars and uncle saved 3500 USD. How smart are they, the world is hiring them in almost everything? Lol
