   Peterson is such a damn retarded academic. He’s talking about how ChatGPT is gonna put everyone out on their ass, even says - get this - he thinks that a third of colleges will be bankrupt in the next 5 years . Of course he thinks it’s revolutionary, he’s a professor. He doesn’t do anything that actually matters in the real world.

   To him, a machine that shits out pointless academic papers for no one to read usurps his job, it changes the world. In reality……well, as long as you aren’t in the content-mill industry, you’re fine.

   It has to go a long way until the liability, the database, the reliability comes to fruition. As it is it will shit out a bunch of data that looks good on the first pass, but ultimately fails the second you actually try to implement it.

   The idea that you can just program it to be smart is even funnier if you expect to train it with the internet. 90% of what’s out there is bunk, worthless, to the point it’s actively harmful towards finding the right answer. All you’re doing is cloning 1 million 91 IQ reddit answers.

     Sure, it will automate some things, but I don’t see it taking over things that matter for a while, it’s simply not trustworthy enough. You’re gonna have professional standards creep into it when someone’s GPT-designed house collapses because of obvious, glaring flaws that never got seen by a 55 yo boomer who’s been in construction for decades.

     Because HIS expertise isn’t recorded online. The most valuable, vital knowledge to keep this world going resides in the minds of guys on the cusp of retirement. So what if you comb the clearnet for all 500 terabytes of furry porn and youtube videos about “adulting”, you’re missing out on the tips and tricks learned by men who watched this system come into being in 1970, and there’s no way to glean their information for your computer model.

     Just wait, you’ll see GPT shit creep in, but it’s not gonna be one-size fits all. You’ll have tiers of warranty, where vital missions will have to spring for a costly data license that will have all kinds of review and refinements to minimize the chance of error, while the boring entry-level model will be barely suitable for writing a fake amazon review for chinese vibrators (because they wanna upsell you to stage II)

     You’ll have someone eyeing the cost of an AI-drafted house blueprint against a pro, and they’ll have to weight the cost of a human review after the fact to make sure it actually meets spec.

     It’s gonna be a mess, but retards who think “Work” consists of righting bland, inoffensive essays wouldn’t know any of that.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot they're not selling chatGPT, they're selling the dream of chatGPT
     
     actually idk if they're selling anything but it's the dream that people are chasing

     @WashedOutGundamPilot GPT is the language center of the brain without the rest of the brain behind it. It can string together the words and concepts that should go together but not reason or create meaning. Well, at least with the models we have now. Anything that’s threatened by the current state of the art language models had no actual substance to it in the first place.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot It's even worse than that.
     
     >can then fail in completely unexpected ways
     
     >These systems don't understand the relation between the orders of words and their underlying meanings. Prompt DALL-E to produce an image of a red cube atop a blue cube and it is almost as likely to produce images in which the red cube is next to the blue cube or even where the blue cube is sitting on top of a red cube.
     
     >Most state-of-the-art computer vision models that are trained to describe complex scenes and videos, fail at simple physical reasoning tests that cognitive scientists have shown infants can easily pass. These have do with understanding object continuity (that occluded objects are usually still there), solidity (that most types of objects are solid and cannot pass through one another), and gravity (that dropped objects tend to fall).
     
     >self-driving car didn't break for a worker holding a stop sign. It didn't match the "person" pattern the system had. "You can't deal with a person carrying a stop sign if you don't really understand what a stop sign even is."

     @Bro-Drillard Like how you can put a post-it with a label on something and it uses that text to label the object
