Re: ChatGPT Issues
How many fucking juries have you got? They all seem to be permanently out.

After using various AIs over the last year or so my impression is that they've been massively changed - emasculated. I used to be able to get some quite specific information from them but now I get googled information strung together with ambivalent words and the actual question ignored entirely.
It's just pumping out advertorials. In the example below, it's totally ignored the question which is about straying - a technical usage. It gave me a load of blather ripped off a web site. But it's the wrong website so some of what it says - and I didn't ask for anyway - is wrong.
You
what are the straying rates for stocked salmon in West Ranga, Iceland?
Copilot
The West Rangá river in Iceland is renowned for its prolific salmon fishing. Here are some details about the river and its salmon runs:
The West Rangá is one of Iceland’s most productive salmon rivers, along with its neighbor, the East Rangá.
It features wide, long pools and smooth glides, with an average width of 50 meters.
The river relies on a successful smolt-releasing program that began in 1989, as there is very little natural spawning habitat.
During the peak season (from July 10th to the end of August), a competent fisherman can expect to land 3-5 fish per day, with many more lost during the fight12.
The river provides an impressive 4,000 - 7,000 salmon each year3.
If you’re planning a fishing trip, keep in mind that the West Rangá Lodge offers comfortable accommodations and excellent trout fishing programs as well. Tight lines! ????????
For more details, you can contact Peter McLeod or Alex Jardine via email or call their office at +44 (0)1980 8473891. You can find additional information on the Aardvark Mcleod website and the Fishing Iceland website3. ????????????
Worse than useless.

Re: ChatGPT Disabled Again
I think you should just enjoy being able to disable it while you can.

Re: ChatGPT is Back!
It also can't seem to weight its answers, it seems to regard all positions to be equally valid.
A real intelligence would tell the egit KING that numerology is nonsense and why. Instead it does the 'on the one hand this and on the other hand that' dance.

My business is experimenting with AI with a LiveChat bot.
The first thing you do is tell it to read and learn your website. The second thing you do is watch it make an absolute fool of you by telling your potential new customers stuff that you wrote 20 years ago and is now garbage.
You then start to train it while simultaneously re-writing 20 years of work. It ignores the new training and sticks with its memory.
For simple questions it works well, sometimes very well and it's fast. It produces boring repetitive questions fast. But it's stupid, it doesn't know anything, can't tell when it's right or wrong just spouts nonsense, confidently. Compared to a trained technician it's pathetic - it's often really confidently wrong.
It's simultaneously brilliant and stupid, we haven't seen anything like it and it's really easy to see that generation 2 will be very useful. But just at the moment it's a very mixed blessing that creates problems as well as solves them.
The problem is that to be properly useful it only needs to be almost as good as our guys and it's really easy to see that it won't be long before it gets close. Whether it can actually deal with non-standard stuff is hard to imagine.
