going on HRT is a serious decision you should make with the utmost gravity. people might think you’re cool, badass even. You might find yourself happy with your life, approaching the world with newfound wisdom one way or another. It might be what you want. It might get you off. It might just be a cool story to tell people. I, myself, found the initial experience was like I had sleepwalked through a nightmare for a quarter century - and for the first time, not just the first time I could remember but actually the first time, I was awake, and the sun was shining, and the world was beautiful. So obviously all of those are risks
not to be pedantic but it annoys me so much when people talk abt how chatgpt is “lying” or “making things up”. or esp when people say it “refuses to admit” to lying. like girl that is a toaster oven
“it REFUSED TO ADMIT that it LIED to me” it is a line of code generating letters in the most algorithmically probable order
I’m so confused by the number people who are like “sadly that’s just the easiest way to explain it :(” as if this post isn’t doing exactly that?
You want something that’s less sarcastic or technical? Fine, “It’s a random word generator that’s just programmed to create grammatically correct sentences.”
There aren’t just two options: Either go into a highly technical dissertation on the exact coding of the thing that only experienced software engineers with advanced degrees will understand, OR anthropomorphize the hell out of the chat bot.
Especially not when anthropomorphizing it just feeds into the sketchy marketing tactics of the creators trying to push it as a cheap and easy replacement for human creative labor.
Like, we could hold the creators responsible a bit more. Replace “Chatgpt is lying” with “The people behind Chatgpt have created a machine that produces convincing sounding but frequently inaccurate human language, have used marketing to anthropomorphize that machine further despite the known fact that humans already have a super strong tendency to anthropomorphize, and do not take any responsibility for the consequences.”
The problem is in the premise. An A.I. Like…ChatGPT is designed to mimic human social expression, but also be objective and honest, when humans are only ever either of those things because we have theory-of-mind and self-awareness. The only reasons you or I don’t lie constantly is because we can feel empathy, shame, pride, fear, et al.
ChatGPT is not really marketed on its capacity to feel. I think the people behind it are mostly just true believers in the same backwards idea of consciousness their audience holds. They ALSO believe that feelings and vulnerability ard obstacles to honesty/objectivity, instead of preconditions for it, just maybe with a little more fervor than average in some cases.
Nah, I’d say it’s far simpler than that: ChatGPT can not deliberately lie and it can not deliberately be honest. The only thing it does is look at a question/statement/request and calculate what the most likely response is based on all the texts it has processed so far. Feelings have nothing to do with it but neither does rationality or objectivity, because ChatGPT doesn’t think. It only does math to calculate the probability of words. Very fast, very impressive math, but math is all it is.
peeling those sour rainbow gummy strips into long thin strings and putting them into cheap energy drink to create something im calling battery acid spaghetti will update once ive finished it
dont do this
I really hope its not too bad bc i actually love both components.
it forms a dry skin at the top made of the sour pellets. not a great start.
tastes really good actually. i also feel like i am about to explode.
