This is dumb. If you still have to debug it and customize it (you do) it’s not really any different from grabbing code from any number of existing sources.

If it fails to compile, can we get ChatGPT to write a good question directly on StackOverflow for us? 🤔

I gave it "Please write a parodic stack overflow post by a script kiddie trying to get their malware script to work and failing":
>Hey guys,
>I'm trying to run this malware script I found online and it's not working. I keep getting this error: "failed to execute script." Can anyone help me out? I'm really new to this whole hacking thing, so any help would be appreciated.
>I'm running the script on a Windows 10 machine, if that matters. I tried running it as administrator, but that didn't work either. I also tried using a different antivirus program, just in case that was the problem, but no luck.

>Thanks in advance for any help!
(Then it told me that both my question and its answer might violate its content policies.)
I like that it slipped in there the implication that the root problem is that the script kiddie is trying to run antivirus on their own script.

It’s honestly nuts to me that it gets this nuance so right. Like I’d expect it to write some generic thing but it looks like a legit post.

I totally agree, it's seriously impressive how well it gets all the little details in language. If you haven't checked it out yet, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. I think you'll be blown away by how well it can understand and respond to pretty much anything you throw at it.

So far though I feel like most of the answers it gives me are fairly generic.

That answer above was generated by it, so at least it passes for normal conversation.
This one is not, just to be clear!
You can iterate in a response. I got to the one above by making a prompt and then asking it to "rewrite the last response in a less formal style."
You do have to acknowledge its limitations. It doesn't understand current events, politics etc. It won't understand niche pop culture references.
You can ask it to e.g. write a response in the style of a Reddit comment reply or in the style of a ten-sentence children's book or in the style of a newspaper article, which helps enormously with getting tone or cadence correct. It's often better to ask it a normal question and then ask it to rewrite the response in a particular style.
IMO it excels at summarising information. "Write a 600 word essay on the causes of the Hundred Years' War" or something. Or simply paste a lot of information and ask it to condense it into 200 words.
Worth pointing out it's only the free version, and paid tools which are far more capable also exist.

This is why I always hated the Turing test. Data from Star Trek would fail that test.
The Turing test tests how well an AI can fake being a human. And as such it was passed by having a good understanding of human non answers pretending to be foreigners and children.
Basically any current event, political or human experience question is unfair because a bot won’t have human and real world experiences even if it was sentient. It could be trained on those answers though and provide a believable answer for something like “what’s your favorite sports team”, but it would never have watched sports.
An AI can be sentient without acting like a humans with fake human experiences.
Not saying chat bot is sentient but I think the line of what is sentient is going to get blurrier and blurrier in our lifetimes. While that google guy who claimed their bot was sentient was definitely wrong he may go down in history anyway as one of the defining moments of when what defines sentient and where we need to start redefining our definitions.

Ask more specific questions, or twist the task a bit

This is actually very useful for generating believable email spam I think.
This tool might be more useful for spam generation than professional work.
It’s got just the right level of believability.

Yeah replying to people in spam emails too I imagine

ChatGPT has been banned on SO for a few weeks now. It was causing a large amount of incorrect answers. It's tough to police though, because mods are basically having to decide if it sounds like ChatGPT or not since there isn't a way to tell 100% yet.

I’m not sure if this is the start of some super-intelligent AI or the beginning of the loss of all modern human knowledge. Like what’s the speed of entropy in a system without error correction
Royal-Bid-2849 t1_j3egb2k wrote
You’re correct about the loss of knowledge. IA is just about what came often. Experts’ answers are not what it trains on, so only average answers and knowledge will be on that kind of ai.
Wait until it can train itself to be expert on a field. Then humans will really be obsolete.
JukePlz t1_j3g31jw wrote
Well, as much as I believe this can be a dangerous tool (because people don't understand that it's a chat bot and experimental academic effort and not a proper knowledge source) I don't think we will get to a point were we have to worry, as this is likely a short public experiment by OpenAI team to get data on their model deficiencies and will like be either:
A) Replaced by a better, more accurate version.
or
B) Limited/removed from the public beta were anyone can use it.
That's the case for ChatGPT at least, AI as a whole is another can of worms that we are just opening.

Agree this is not a big deal. I can't say how far out AI malware is, but it's not here yet
