ChatGPT AI

[Greg]

Has anyone else downloaded the app Chat GPT? It's scary how quick and accurately this thing responds, the way that it writes out the answers is a very human like response. It doesn't have access to the Internet so it can't really research, but has so much information and the speed of its response is mind blowing.

An attorney I know from a professional organization used it to write a response of support and a response of dissent for a matter before the FCC, just to see what it would output. Obviously it can greatly depend upon what info you put into it for it to use, but he was pretty impressed with what it put out.

I’ve been watching it closely. Pretty damn fascinating

 

[Greg]

I've heard that educators are concerned about students using AI to write essays, wish I had that option when I was in school. 😁

I've been playing around with it a little bit. I'm seriously impressed with how it answers my requests. If I could input source documents and have it scan and get me a document from the material, I would be hooked!

 

[Tonkaman]

I haven’t used it personally, just been watching videos.

Can’t you just ask it to only reference that specific literature? If it’s been uploaded onto the web somewhere it should be able to do that.

I believe it can, one video I watched the guy asked ChatGPT to write a book on a defined subject, in the style of a specific writer (subject was completely unrelated to that writer) ... and it nailed the challenge, in no time at all.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't get it to do just that.

I just logged in and played around for about 10 minutes.

It claims to only have information up through 2021 so it is not currently scanning the web.

I asked it a series of technical work questions and asked for which sections of code books it was referencing. The cool thing is these code books are expensive and pretty well hidden behind a paywall. I was able to ask the question in a way that forced the reference to come from those code books.

A couple of points -one of my co workers was trying to get it to write an essay for a technology class. He got part way into establishing rules and parameters for the bot and realized he was basically writing the essay trying to program it. Public domain stuff? Probably a load easier than specific tech classes.
My concern with ChatGPT is that it's going to help low level script kiddie hackers function like more highly skilled and dangerous people. It won't take a whole lot of programming and sharing before someone can just say "Hack this guy" and it'll unleash hell on someone or an agency.

Thats interesting. The knowledge base for the HPE equipment I work with everyday is notoriously annoying to reference. I might have to play with this to see if it makes it easier.

Clever... I like that application. Make an annoying KB more accessible. I'll be deploying a chunk of Aruba switches in the coming year. If you have success, I might be interested in bribing you to share your results.

I have not played with it at all myself. But all the guys I work with have been since the day it dropped. One of them already used it to write an essay for a college history class that got an A.

They've also been using it to write some code and SQL scripts and say it does quite well at that. Well enough they are all talking - and not joking - about how few jobs like theirs will be needed soon. Something a lot of smart people have been predicting/warning about for some time now. It's real.

This is what I am thinking too. A big part of my new job is auditing KB's and this could definitely help if they update the database it pulls from regularly.

That's pretty damn scary... we've been hearing for years that technology is going to phase out certain jobs, but when it's yours that has been targeted.... ... how do you pivot and recover?

Yeah, AI is going to automate a lot of jobs particularly in coding heavy fields. That said, there will always have to be people who manage the AI and fix it when it breaks. Thats part of the reason why when I switched jobs a few years ago, I made a conscious choice to go into the hardware side of server management. There always has to be a chicken soup machine repairman.

Miles Dyson warned us about this a long time ago.

But, and I'm not trying to be funny, the AI will design and build robots to eliminate the chicken soup machine repairman job too. Won't blink at completely rearchitecting the chicken soup machine to be robot serviceable.

My best friend lost his long time warehouse job a few years ago to a robot. Everyone in the facility lost their jobs to robots. And those are some clunky, not very sophisticated robots. Eventually there won't be a manual task you can think of that machines designed and built by other machines won't do faster and more consistently.

Excellent opportunity to consolidate power, wealth and privilege - if you already have all those things in abundance.
