    Of course there are manually programmed restrictions. ChatGPT's website tells you upfront there are certain topics that are off limits.

    So what if ChatGPT and its maker OpenAI have ideological biases? They are non-governmental entities not obligated to respect your First Amendment rights.

    Here's an idea: take GPT-3 and train it with only contemporary American Conservative-leaning data, program in some hard restrictions about topics that contemporary American Conservatives would rather not talk about, and you can make yourself a contemporary American Conservative-leaning chat bot. It's like Conservatopedia as a response to Wikipedia, but with AI!

          You don’t need to be a professor, Aqua and I compared articles several months ago and identified the AI articles. But that’s today. Look at the growth
          , look at the trends. AI can’t go backwards or even stay stagnant by the very definition.

            I tried Chat GPT two weeks ago. If you use it with the right mindset, it can be very helpful and speed up your work. I was running into issues while trying to write an Excel macro. Normally I would do some Google searches to find the solution, but I tried Chat GPT and it provided the solution in under a minute.

            We also had an experimental study running at an external lab to determine the dissociation constant of a chemical. We had doubts about the formulas they were using but didn’t have access to the guideline. Trying to find the answer with Google proved to be quite time consuming. Using Chat GPT, I was able to derive the formula relatively quickly. On the other hand, it also made some mistakes which could easily be missed if you’re not paying attention. I would not use any formulas it provides before having verified them.

            I would personally also not use texts it writes, at least not without adapting them. Oh, and don’t ask it to provide references… they are all fake… it knows how a reference is structured and knows the journals and authors that are typically associated with a certain subject. But it constructs references in the same way it constructs all its other text: word by word… Artificial? Yes… Intelligent? Maybe not so much… 😄

              https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ibm-expects-to-pause-hiring-for-thousands-of-jobs-that-can-be-done-by-ai-report-51958ef

              IBM expects to pause hiring for non-customer facing roles. HR is cited as an example. The article mentions that such roles number around 26,000 and expects ~30% reduction in these roles, about ~8,000 jobs.

                          That's because that "buried little nugget" has nothing to do with anything. The strike isn't about AI.

                                  AI is definitely going to have an impact on certain job positions. I think in history, this has always happened when new technology occurs.

                                  I remember reading an article about the pretty sudden decrease in the number of blacksmiths/horseshoe people as the automobiles increased and the need for their services was no longer needed.

                                  With AI, it is like the box that is opened and impossible to shut again.

                                  We have to adapt.

                                  Maybe not a perfect example, but when was the last time you had an iceman (or milkman) come to the house?

                                    Interesting to see what it would like in a year from now.

                                    "it appears they likely created it using Runway's new Gen-2 AI model, which can create short video clips based on written prompts similar to how Stable Diffusion can create still images."

                                      Look 'em up if you don't know what they [Chegg] do.

                                      Years ago, I bought a mobile phone app by some German developer called "Math 42," an easy to use, no fuzz app that, you type in a math problem in the form of an equation, it shows you the steps to get to the solution(s). Not as powerful as, say, established desktop applications like Maple or Mathematica, but good enough for many K-12 math problems. I was quite happy with "Math 42."

                                      Then Chegg bought out "Math 42," and soon the app became unusable. All of a sudden you're required to "create an account" with Chegg and has to "login" to use the app. First I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried to create an account, etc. The backend system never worked, I could never successfully "login," and "Math 42" became completely unusable to me. I have since deleted it from my devices and I have been pessimistic about Chegg ever since.

                                        No reason to be pessimistic, they won't be around much longer.

                                          Do not trust ChatGPT

                                          Some college prof. tried to use ChatGPT to "detect" whether students' papers were written with ChatGPT and found many false positives, delaying many graduating students from properly receiving their diplomas.
