It seems that ChatGPT is emulating certain humans in a bad way ie it is making things up and citing references which don't exist.

I don't think it's a flash in the pan. As it is right now it's probably not a game changer but the direction of travel suggests that AI will soon become so. My younger son is a games artist working for a subsidiary of a large film and entertainment company. A week or two before ChatGPT became newsworthy he mentioned that colleagues in his industry were wondering how long they had before AI replaced them.

I thought this board might be a better place to discuss the wider implications.

One of the wider implications is that the productivity of the production of disinformation goes through the roof, and becomes an inundation. As if we didn't have enough of a problem already. Those that the gods wish to destroy...

If by wider implications you mean the effects on the economy, jobs, businesses, work, taxes, massive wealth redistribution, universal basic incomes, the structure of society and other such general socio-economic and political effects, then guess why the other thread has already got to 100 posts ... :D

chatGPT is the first obvious ai that ordinary people can play with.

There are many other applications of ai like Alexa, Siri, route planners, Grammerly,…

But all of these do specific jobs & folk don’t think of them as ai, but this they do & it has come out of nowhere for many & suddenly they begin to see what it can do & compare it’s capability to their own with often distressing implications. How many people can code, draw up legal documents, create computer art,…

For me it’s kind of amusing as it has been obvious that this ai singularity will be technically possible in the near term, but most of the people I have discussed it with have thought I was barking.

As things now are a lot of human jobs can now be done better by ai & like Arkwright water frame this is not going to be welcomed with open arms. There is likely to be trouble at ai.

Before long we will have actuaries estimating how much of a social payment is necessary to give retirees who have been forced into early retired by ai a pension & badgering the politicians to legislate for both this & decent social payments before retirement. The current winter of discontent strikes look like nothing compared to what will have to be negotiated via such types of action.

Microsoft reportedly adding ChatGPT to Bing.

MS owns LinkedIn, Skype and others. If integrates AI into Bing, Office apps, LinkedIn and rest. Could put it ahead of Google.

Yeah!
If you want an "opinion engine" rather than a more traditional one for searching

I do like ChatGPT and I've used it a fair bit (sometimes with decent outcomes) and it is a wonder of Natural Language interpretation
- but it's a deceitful disingenuous Muppet at times

Fun though

I suspect an 'opinion engine' is exactly what some entities are going for.

Of course we better not say much around here because the virtue signalling opinion fascists will accuse everything that goes against the official narrative they parrot as being 'disinformation'.

You are a Spectator trained AI 'opinion engine' Bot and I claim my James O'Brien 'Woke Watch Badge'. :lol:
