LOL people are teaching ChatGPT their passwords? Why?

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

People are so stupid that a lot of them believe ChatGPT is intelligent.

Stupid is too harsh. They could be as intelegent as you or me. but... they are told propaganda/marketing, the thing is made to hide its rough edges and the hype from the propaganda machine puts people in a hazey mindset where its hard to think.

They could be as intelligent as you or me.

They are certainly pretty stupid if they are as intelligent as me.

I think the average person is not very smart, especially considering the USA, Russia, China, and India are large parts of the world population. Now realize that half of everyone below median intellect is even dumber than that. The fact that propaganda and hype are highly effective to start with is evidence of our lacking capabilities as a species.

I had a student graduate recently who told me that he thought that technology just worked before joining my team of computer lab managers. I suspect that people think that tech in general JUST GOES.

No need for personal attacks. Since you won't define it I will:

The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills (from Oxford Languages)

I would argue this applies to ChatGPT. ChatGPT exists under the hood as a neutral network, and is clearly capable of acquiring knowledge during training. And ChatGPT is also clearly capable of applying that knowledge in producing answers to questions or novel solutions to problems.

Based on this definition, I would argue that ChatGPT is intelligent. Whether ChatGPT is sentient or not is a very different question. I would argue not, but again, that depends on the definition of sentience.

Hey bud I've got a hint for you to take, behold the list of people who wanted to have this conversation with your stupid socially inept ass:

...

Add me to that list then, dick.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I feel like I had to go at least that hard since they continued their bullshit even after the first insulting one liner. Clearly they're too dense to screw off otherwise.
