Okay, so it’s a promotion (free day), but first time I’ve hit this height. (of course in three hours, I’ll be off the list again. 😀).

ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences.

“Understand” is a loaded word when it comes to #ChatGPT. I’m comfortable saying that it understands language structure (statistically). The concepts it talks about? Not so much. Here’s a few examples of ChatGPT not understanding its own words. #AI .

Sometimes, I think 90% of #AI related concerns are caused by poor word choice and misleading reporting. For example, when you hear “robots shut down after developing their own language” you might want to read a tiny bit more.

The conversational aspects of ChatGPT are amazing. the tone, the examples, the level of explanations all point to strong command of language.

Playing with #ChatGPT, it dawned on me: . If a few years ago you’d predicted that an #AI system would be much better at language than math, no one would have believed you. But that’s where we are.
