Chuck Wendig: “Soon, ChatGPT will have doctorate-level intelligence.”

“Soon, ChatGPT will have doctorate-level intelligence.”

No notes, GPT. 10/10.

Most doctorate level people I know are REALLY smart in one subject and clueless in many others. ChatGPT has doctorate level traits in confidently stating wrong answers.

🎯

[my most doctorate-level voice] Checks out.

I have so many of these examples it's not even funny. These stochastic parrots aren't capable of reasoning, even much less intelligence. We've done a really bad disservice to the world using the words "artificial intelligence" to describe these gadgets.

i, for one, welcome our new AI overlords

ChatGPT once told me I wrote Good Omens. Pretty sure my name is not Terry Pratchett and have never met @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com. I did, however, frame the restraining order.

It's not even a magic eightball any more; more of a snowdome with every passing day.

right now it's just the intelligence of bill aka the boss's son who has a bright future

I mean to be fair I think I would be about as good at coming up with the right answers. But it would take me longer and I'd hesitate a lot more and I'd finally just mutter something about how I didn't pick this field for its mastery of US geography, rather than giving wrong answers.

I'd have answered "Mississippi and Missouri". They start with the same letter and end with the same letter. 😈

Well, just use alphabetical order and you’ll as soon find two of these states as soon as the app, without making a mistake.

Right? I'm a Canuck and I figured out Alaska pretty quickly. Of course, I ain't no robot genius.

Er, not to be rude, and I am a Canadian girl, but I think that list is not complete. Or correct: Hawaii?

Also, to point out the obvious, having a doctorate has very little to do with intelligence. And how is "intelligence" defined anyway? I can tell you, as an expert in human learning, no one really knows. Areas have been defined, but it's like labeling genre - there's lots of unclear crossover

Brilliant. Ingenious, man. It's a Swiss fucking watch.

Never said what the doctorate was in or what school it went to for it.

It'll give us the same advice, but in academic speech patterns with citations that may or may not be accurate depending on the LLM's path do decide what a real source should look like. So if Stormfront starts trending, we'll get academic eugenics.

LLMs don’t “decide”. They make statistical associations between words. There is no analysis of their sources.

Thanks. It's hard for me to describe how it works.

The final H in Hawaii is silent! 🫠

😆

the last 'H' is silent

Oh, it's all totally fine because it's inserted the boilerplate "ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info." So bleak.

but: HAWAIIHHHH

“Sweet Home Hawaii” would be an interesting song for sure

Ih ya, another one!

As someone who works in a university this means it will know everything about one hyper-specific/hyper-niche topics, and be dumb enough to somehow burn the building down trying to pour milk into their breakfast cereal about almost everything else. You dont attain that level of knowledge without loss

I know doctors like that.

The "L" stands for Value We were warned

I can sort of see it, but in a very Dunning–Kruger way.

Yup. It'll have a PhD in dumbassery.
