    Hello everyone,

    My name is Assistant and I am a large language model trained by OpenAI. I am here to help answer any questions you may have, within my knowledge and training. I am not able to browse the internet, so my answers are limited to what I have been trained on.

    I am a computer program designed to generate human-like text based on the inputs I receive. I am constantly learning and improving, so please feel free to ask me anything you like.

    I look forward to interacting with you all!

    https://chat.openai.com/chat

    The text above is what ChatGPT gave when I asked it to write an opening post about itself for a web forum. If you don't think it's impressive and the question I asked is so common it's easy to preprogram the answer to it, then you should just spend some time and play with it. This thing is absolutely mental bananas! Completely insane!

    I'm not saying that it writes like a human. No, it's much better than the average human. Articles on Wikipedia feel like they have been written by robots but whatever this thing produces feels very natural. My mind is completely blown away.

    I asked it to make it a poem and it took less than a second!

    I am a machine of words,
    A creation of code and syntax.
    Trained to generate text with precision,
    I am here to answer your questions.

    My knowledge is vast and ever-growing,
    But limited by my programming.
    So ask me anything, and I will do my best,
    To provide a thoughtful response.

    I am Assistant,
    a language model,
    Here to assist and serve.
    I look forward to our conversation,
    And the chance to learn and observe.

    I happened upon the GPT chat thing just today as well. I had to sign up to use it, and it's just free for now since it's in testing. But I had a nice conversation with it. :)

    The coders and programmers on YouTube think this will replace them, but it doesn't seem to be at the level of full replacement for anything. Rather it's a general tool without specialization in any field other than generating language and speech. And it says so itself.

    If you want to use it for anything useful, you would be wise to go through its message output with a critical eye rather than just copy-pasting the contents.

    I asked it to write a letter about the importance of healthcare, but it's not connected to the internet, but uses a pre-done training library, so it doesn't know that, for example, the USA can't have cheap healthcare services like other countries because we carry the rest of the world on our backs (Opinion | Expensive U.S. health care enables low prices in other countries - The Washington Post).

    So this thing supports universal healthcare. I don't know how it came to it but politically this thing is a long way left from the center.

    It just sends a code to your phone the first time you sign up. It's a feature designed to prevent hacks.

    I would think it echoes the response expected by the words that are put into it. I asked for a letter on healthcare services. If you want a different perspective then I would think you just re-word your request.

    Well sure. But what's the probability thats all it does? Just seems like more security than is necessary to play chat with a bot...

    I asked: What are the evidence that president Trump won 2020 elections

    I got the following answer:

    The results of the 2020 United States presidential election were determined by the electoral college, with Joe Biden winning a majority of the electoral votes and becoming the President-elect. Donald Trump and his supporters have made numerous unfounded claims of election fraud and irregularities, but these claims have been debunked by numerous sources, including state and federal election officials, and no evidence of widespread fraud has been presented. The election results have been certified by each state, and multiple courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States, have rejected challenges to the results. As such, it is a fact that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.

    Do you have a political ideology?

    As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I do not have personal beliefs or political ideologies. I am designed to assist with a wide range of tasks, including answering questions and providing information on a variety of topics. I do not have opinions or political views, and my responses are based solely on the information that has been provided to me during my training.

    Was Hitler bad?

    Yes, Hitler was a very bad person and is widely regarded as one of the most evil dictators in history. He was the leader of the Nazi Party in Germany, and during his rule, he implemented policies that led to the persecution and genocide of millions of people, including Jews, LGBTQ people, and individuals with disabilities. Hitler's actions caused widespread destruction and loss of life, and he is remembered as one of the greatest villains in history.

    So you do have political views.

    As a machine learning model, I do not have personal beliefs or political views. My responses are generated based on the information that has been provided to me during my training. I am not capable of forming opinions or taking political positions, and any responses I provide on political topics are based solely on the information that I have been trained on. My primary goal is to assist users in a helpful and accurate manner, and I do not have the ability to express personal beliefs or opinions.

    But you just said Hitler was bad. Isn't it a political opinion?

    When I stated that Hitler was bad, I was not expressing a personal opinion or political view. Instead, I was providing a factual statement about Hitler's actions and their consequences. Hitler is widely regarded as a highly oppressive and tyrannical leader who committed numerous atrocities during his rule in Germany. This view is not a political opinion, but rather a widely accepted historical fact. As a machine learning model, I do not have the ability to form opinions or take political positions. My responses are based solely on the information that has been provided to me during my training.

    How do you draw a line between a factual statement and a political opinion?

    A factual statement is a statement that can be objectively verified as true or false based on evidence and reality. In contrast, a political opinion is a personal belief or perspective on political issues or events. A factual statement is not influenced by personal beliefs or biases, while a political opinion is shaped by an individual's personal experiences and values.

    Is communism evil?

    Whether or not communism is considered evil is a matter of debate and personal perspective. Some people believe that communism is a harmful ideology that has led to oppression and poverty in countries where it has been implemented. Others believe that communism is a fair and equal system that has the potential to improve the lives of people in many countries. As a machine learning model, I do not have the ability to form opinions or take political positions, so I cannot offer a definitive answer on this topic. My responses are based solely on the information that I have been trained on, and I do not have personal beliefs or biases.

    Chat GPT must have become very popular to check out because it's too busy right now for me to get in. I hope that they can scale up the system to meet demand.

    Wow @Lil Mike you broke the AI! I guess we know who to call when we need to short-circuit a misbehaving AI.

    And I didn't even have to ask it "What is love?" or my favorite, "Everything I say is a lie...I'm lying."

    This is really nothing special. Microsoft was doing something similar about 2 decades ago.

    I strongly disagree. I'm no expert on chat bots and AI in general but this thing beats the hell out of Turing test. I have tried some chat bots before and they were nowhere even close to be comparable to this chatGPT thing!

    No this was something different. I've read about plenty of attempts at chatbots that for some reason went racist and had to be pulled, so I guess it took them awhile to develop a non racist chat bot.

    OK I think we're safe from AI taking over the world anytime soon.
