ChatGPT

It definitely is a great resource I just find the whole we are all going to become obselete thing a bit silly.

One thing I like is to use it to help work through a problem similar to how you would bounce ideas off a team to solve problems or improve your code. Its great for people who work in small teams with not a lot of peers that can help when you are stuck.
I do find it a bit agreeable though. If you tell it no do it like this it tends to agree and do it even if its not correct according to specifications or the version you specified.

Agreed, you still need an expert in whatever field you ask the question in to be able to implement it, or to know how correct it is (or not).

On the agreeability, it kind of hilarious how you can point out an error in its logic, then it will double back and correct itself, perhaps with a little note at the bottom still defending its original view.

If only more of us humans were as willing to actively listen and accept our flaws and mistakes :ROFL:
 
Post you ChatGPT written essays over here. I've posted an article about finding the meaning of life in peanut butter :laugh:

I was curious to see if the AI has the capability to link to non-obvious things together. Sometimes it helps to ask nicely a second or third time e.g. "please, can you try, even if the results aren't particularly promising". You can also ask it to use "deductive reasoning".

It's cool you can tell me to **** off and I'll take it on the chin. But I need to have a little moan. You do this in a lot of threads where you don't contribute any of your own thoughts or experience with whatever the topic is about but you link drop a bunch of twitter/yt etc. Everyone does this but man - it feels lately like it's all you do. You may as well be an RSS feed.

What has your experience with chatgpt been like?

Dafaq? Last I checked we got along.

I drop relevant stuff as this is a forum, the primary objective of that is encourage engagement.

At times I maybe drop stuff (that has relevance) but I do try to share my own 2c on the topic at hand where possible.

Calling me an RSS feed or whatever is a low blow, vok man.

So can I politely tell you to sod off?

Not sure why you’re trying to be clever, looks like ColdFusion to me.

A.I is not a new topic in computer science. It’s been there since the start and it should always have been paid attention to. I’m not trying to be smart, the “Imitation Game” or the “Turing Test” was developed in the 1950s.

I’d go as far to say that concept of quantum computing is also nothing new, but then again we as a group of beings or whatever it is that makes us human are only now beginning to realise theories that were developed 70 years ago.

When it comes to A.I the entire computer science and computing communities are literally standing on the shoulders of a handful of giants. Turing, Von Neumann(every computer in the world owns its basic architecture to this man) and the post office worker that built Colossus.

We do. That's exactly why I thought I could say this without you thinking it was any more than a criticism of something that I've seen a lot more of lately. It just feels like the forum is becoming more and more a place for people to drop whatever is popping up on their various feeds. Like some people who post in the funny pics thread with 12 posts in a row that's clearly just a repost of their reddit funny pics feed. Dunno, feels like it's been getting worse lately and you just happened to be the person I vented at. Sorry about the low blow insult.
 
So I watched the ColdFusion video, and realised why I stopped watching his videos the second he brought up education and cheating.

From my stand point, it’s not going to change much in all industries. ChatGPT is actually quite yellow bellied, if you tell it to build you something a specific way it will. It’s an AI so it will do what you ask of it - I asked it to write a web server that serves 3 simple pages in Go using only Monadic functions(this is completely pointless and complicated). It did it. Impressive. Did it run. Nope. It would probably take me 3 months to fix it as I have no real experience writing Go or formal mathematical training so I don’t even know how or when to use Monadic functions in a manner that’s functional and easy for others to read. So considering that CS students are using this to cheat, to a human eye I think it would be easy to catch people out in this particular case, but anyway. I digress.

My bone to pick with the comment on trad education being dead is that it is not dead at all, and it likely never will die. Reason being is that yes rote learning is something you do up until undergrad level and from there, you are on your own. Everything prior to that except Math, Physics and Accounting(these require practice to become good at it and fully understand it) you can do using memorisation - which is fine. Everyone’s first month at a new job you actively force yourself to remember peoples names (which actually requires practice) so that’s fine, but everything after undergraduate level. You’re on your own and you are starting your journey in furthering a field of study and that ****s me off about the generally woke publics opinion on “traditional” learning is that it doesn’t and never worked for them. Tbh it doesn’t work for anyone, beyond a certain age learning is deliberate. The path traditional learn can lead you to, can turn into an adventure in and of itself. You will eventually have no lectures, no real help but everything to prove. Literally. Everything.

It’s boring, but its there for a reason. A damn good one.

I could’ve had ChatGPT write this. I know my grammar isn’t the best, but would I have gone back and finished my thoughts and correct as many mistakes that I could detect if I did. No.

If someone needs ChatGPT to pass an exams, that person should take a good hard look at what they see in the mirror, taking the easy way out is an expensive choice.
