I really don't get it. These things are brand new. How can anyone get so into these things so quickly. I don't take advice from people I barely know, much less ones that can be so easily and quickly reprogrammed.

I would genuinely have more trust in a politician consulting I Ching than ChatGPT - at least the book of changes requires some thinking and interpretation, fucking hell...

Sigh, all the tech-bros that convinced the general public that AI are in any way intelligent or that they can think, reason or understand concepts like truth/lies or right/wrong should go on trial for crimes against humanity...

Some of y'all are crazy reactionary. There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking an ai chatbot for an additional opinion. The ai shouldn't be making the decisions, and the ai shouldn't be the only way you look for opinions, but there's nothing wrong with ai being ONE OF the opinions you consider

But it doesn't know anything. At all. Does Sweden not have a fuck ton of people that are trained to gather intelligence?

Except those prompts are retained by OpenAI, and you don't know who's got access to that. They've had chats leak before.

If that's your problem with this story then you're just saying they should run a local instance of chatgpt on their own local computers

Just a moment...

Most people don’t care whether AI is intelligent, can it think or reason or understand concepts. What matters is that it can give helpful replies, and it does that a lot. In my experience maybe 1 reply out of 10 is seriously flawed, others are either mostly helpful or just tell me something I already knew until I reprompt for more, which, again, also works well most of the time (especially when you allow it to search for more information online). So if you wanted to say it’s dangerous in some ways, this is definitely not the proper way to say it, since neither it being dangerous nor it being right or wrong or helpful or useless has anything to do with intelligence, ability to think, reason, feel, comprehend or whatever.

I mean, I don't really love that he uses AI to begin with, but getting an opinion on top of what you get from your advisors that you hired could be good in theory. Except that most AIs are programmed to be equally sycophantic and they're just plain wrong most of the time.

To me the most irresponsible part is sending your thoughts as the leader of a country straight to a US run company, you just know those prompts are being digested by the NSA directly, and possibly other intelligence agencies.

It's weird for a head of state to consult their mentally challenged imaginary friend?

AI chat bots don't have their own opinions. All they do is regurgitate other opinions, and you have no idea the motivation for how those opinions are weighted.

As i said in other comments, none of that matters. The point is to gather ideas that you otherwise might not have come across. And also as said already, ai generated opinion pieces should never be the only opinions you hear.

What use is an opinion that can neither be explained or defended by the person giving it? How is that useful to a person making decisions for millions of people?

It can do those things. And you need to re-read what's already been said on this comments page, because how it's useful has been explained several times already

I certainly don’t want my attorney wasting time considering the opinions and motivations of the person that’s suing me.

Lmao. You people are fucking idiots.

How is that any different than you. Objectively prove to everyone here than none of your opinions have ever been influence by anything youve ever seen, read or heard.

This is the unintentional uncanny valley for me in AI.

I ( was forced to ) use chatGTP for work. It can talk about everything and sounds very confident and seems reliable to always come up with something to help you solve your problems.

You talk with it about some niche content and suddenly have an ardent fan of said niche content responding. It surely knows every little bit of info of that niche and surprises you with funny, but apt quotes from your favorite show in the middle of conversations about something else.

This is just from a tiny bit of interaction, while at work.

I can imagine people completely overwhelmed, by having their thoughts confirmed and supported by something that seems so intelligent, responsive and remembers all your conversations. It literally remembers each word.

For many people it may be the first time in their life, that they experience a positive response to their thoughts. Not only that, they also found someone eager to talk with them about it.

William MacKenzie King, the longest serving Prime Minister in Canada used to commune with spirits via psychic mediums including those of his dead dogs. It was only revealed after his death but was a big part of his life.

I agree it's weird.

Everyones initial use of chatbots should be on the thing they are most knowledgable about so they can get an idea of how wrong it can be and how it can be useful but you have to treat it like some eager wet behind the ears intern just did for you.

It really can't. It does not understand things.
