The phrasing “a bit less racist” suggests a nonzero level of racism in the output, yet the participants also complain about the censorship making the bot refuse to discuss sensitive topics. Sounds like these LLMs can only be boringly racist.

I thought the point of posting your ideas on a public forum was to have people read them.

Dunno what you want me to say. Define the vague concept of “good writing”?

The linked study finds that ChatGPT 3.5 and Bard suck at writing comedy. You claim in so many words that this should be obvious (along with a really dubious claim that machines can’t tickle people for some reason). I’m also not surprised that these models are terrible at writing comedy, because even at best of times I find their output bland, trite and crudely stripped of anything potentially divisive.

However, lots of people seem to think that LLMs are good at writing related tasks, so I don’t think it’s inherently obvious that these tools suck at writing comedy in particular.

All these words make this reply much less fun to write.

Define “good at writing”.

I don’t want to.

Good comedy is very difficult to attain and none of the models are anywhere near it, including the more recent ones.

I concur.

I mean they come up to ChatGPT on v3.5 (or Bard lmao) and expect it to write comedy?

Yeah, these things are supposed to be good at writing, aren’t they?

Any of… what?

Yea I don’t think the Turing test is that great for establishing genuine artificial intelligence, but I also maintain that current state of the art doesn’t even pass the Turing test to an intellectually honest standard and certainly didn’t in the 60s.

I agree, except with the first sentence.

1. I don’t think a computer program has passed the Turing test without interpreting the rules in a very lax way and heavily stacking the deck in the bot’s favor.
2. I’d be impressed if a machine does something hard even if the machine is specifically designed to do that. Something like proving the Riemann hypothesis or actually passing an honest version of Turing test.

This one from the same is also funny

Here’s the pic in its full glory.

Being worried that someone calls you out for misidentifying a metal subgenre is a metal fan staple. In any case Moonsorrow is definitely at least BM adjacent and a lot of black metal musicians are pagan for… varyingly good reasons.

Did check if first if it doesn’t shout something vile however

Hmm dunno, “The ice blinds your eyes as far as the eye can see, the wind furiously slashes through hands, the mountains surround their prey…” Sounds pretty violent 😉

I’d feel pretty threatened if someone suddenly began messaging me in Finnish if not for the fact that I am Finnish myself.

And this is why whenever I send non-threats to people I oppose politically, I prefer black metal or WP skinhead lyrics.

It’s obvious the hospital security is unfamiliar with even the most famous of 90s anime. I was making an End of Evangelion reference, so it’s not like I was seriously jacking off to the coma patients

People have been modifying the code to copy housing designs without permission from the original designer. As such, it is in the housing community’s best interest for updates to the code to no longer be published. The MakePlace community agrees with this approach too.

I might not respect the terms of free software licenses, but MMO interior designer IP rights are sacrosanct!

Nobody even knows what the fuck web 2.0 actually is. CSS? JS? SPAs? Flash? No flash? Rounded corners? Ad blocker blockers? Sevice workers? Sans serif fonts? Lack of “under construction” gifs?

Web 3.0 is inevitable, not because blockchain or machine learning shit is revolutionarily useful, but because whatever becomes popular will end up being called web 3.0 anyway.

Also annoyed at the .0 BS. Maybe it sounded cool and techy in the 90s but if the major versions are already nonsense, how the hell are you gonna have a minor one?

Markets are just the average sentiment of a mass of greedy people trying to make a buck, there is no inherent prediction power.
