Same, I've seen it twice. It's all about that moment when they realize that "mistake" and then, it's a "God" move, and they can't believe it. History was made in that moment. They realized computers can have intuition and think like they do.

I started showing people ChatGPT when it first came out, they shrugged, they didn't get it. Most people still don't get how important generative AI is and will be. Eventually, they'll have that moment too.

I have seen ChatGPT. Until they fix the error rate, I see it as a novelty. A toy you can’t count on nor offload responsibility to.

I use it constantly throughout the day for my work. The error rate is fine; just like talking to a person. You have to assume that they are wrong sometimes.

One difference between ChatGPT and people though is that when they don’t know something, the latter usually just tell you they don’t know while the former makes up BS.

I think you have a circle of highly intelligent people around you. I live in Austin and I have all kinds of folks around me and there are plenty of people that are willing to spew bullshit and back it up. I think it's good to have a barometer for bullshit.

Lmao, humans literally spew bullshit on an hourly basis. People constantly make up or parrot false information whether we realise it or not.

And technically an opinion is not a hard fact and us humans have plenty of opinions.
