AI Thread Summary
Experiments with ChatGPT reveal a mix of accurate and inaccurate responses, particularly in numerical calculations and logical reasoning. While it can sometimes provide correct answers, such as basic arithmetic, it often struggles with complex problems, suggesting a reliance on word prediction rather than true understanding. Users noted that ChatGPT performs better in textual fields like law compared to science and engineering, where precise calculations are essential. Additionally, it has shown potential in debugging code but can still produce incorrect suggestions. Overall, the discussion highlights the need for ChatGPT to incorporate more logical and mathematical reasoning capabilities in future updates.

Gotta skip past the first few minutes.

4 minutes in and I don't get her message yet. So far it's all fluffy rhetoric about a billionaire, nothing about AI.

The entire video is about AI, specifically [the potentially dangerous and stupid use of] using large language models (LLMs) in no-code "vibe coding" (and now, "vibe physics"). The first few minutes are to set up the context. The rest of the video she deconstructs those arguments and points out the flaws and dangers.

Well, except the first four minutes or so. She's pulling from other podcasts not in evidence. I didn't continue.

OK, my mistake. I thought it was about...

...AI behavior (excessive flattery of intellect)...
...which is something I'm interested in. I'm not interested in vibe coding.

Well, if you're comfortable with skipping all the supporting context, the section specifically on flattery starts at timestamp 31:41.

Thank you, that's a big help. And 31 minutes I'll get back!

Sam Altman calls for ‘AI privilege’ as OpenAI clarifies court order to retain temporary and deleted ChatGPT sessions
Ahh, this is why local LLMs make sense.

This is the offline AI interface I use to run AI such as Mistral Small 3.2.

My boss just showed me this:

Apparently, this has been around for a long time, not caught - and very widely written about.

Verizon customer "service" has an AI that you have to make it past. It tells you how helpful it is and then asks the same questions over and over until it gets your request completely wrong and then tries to add services that you didn't ask for... Speaking from personal experience on this one. :oldruck:
