ChatGPT doesn't understand letters, or phonetics, or most other aspects of speech. I tried for an hour to train it to understand what a palindrome is, with the hopes of getting it to generate some new ones. Nothing stuck. It was like trying to teach a dog to write its name.

I asked it how many "n" mayonnaise has and it came up with manaonnanaise
I feel like if these things ever become really self aware, they will be super fucking with us
Idk what I’m doing wrong, thankfully it always seems to listen and work fine for me lmao
Ask it to list the n's
Look at the first question in the my first screenshot. It gets that question correct for “mayonnaise” lol
It got it wrong when I asked it to list them
I feel like ChatGPT itself probably has a fairly loose temp setting (just a hunch) and I tend to set my conversations up to be more on the strict side
I imagine that’s why our results differ, it’s strange OpenAI doesn’t let ChatGPT site users or at least premium users adjust anything really yet.
Always has been 🔫
It has not. ChatGPT has been a monumental achievement and has been capable of performing previously impossible and highly impressive tasks. This is new behavior for it.
Y'all seem to gloss over the word artificial when it comes to reading "artificial intelligence". That or you're leaning too hard on the first definition..
- made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural. "her skin glowed in the artificial light"
- (of a person or their behavior) insincere or affected. "an artificial smile" 🤖
It's just so counterintuitive for a layman to have this tool that can write long flowing passages of text and theoretically pass a rudimentary Turin test, but it can't even begin to work with language on the level most toddlers can. We humans typically have to learn letters before we move up to words, sentences, paragraphs, and finally whole compositions. But this thing skipped right over the first several milestones and has no mechanism for reverse engineering that capability.
