Frankly, most people just impersonate intelligence as well.

Chat-GPT is going to improve. As it is today, it will be able to provide a lot of value in terms of synthesizing information or generating text. I used it to generate a job description recently, and it produced something much better than my recruiter.

... I'm sure that AI will have ALOT of potentials on future job prospects, especially those in the knowledge-source area like reducing headcounts as J4B noted.

Or surprise me, management might use them to replace their loneliness up at the top ... LFMAO.

Anyhow ... re production of a "better" job description using AI, just make sure it ain't a cookie cutter one. Eg. what's the difference in the job description between Joe's the inventory clerk and Jack the inventory clerk over at Amazon?

... haven't read the link yet but then I wouldn't be surprised some folks will believe that's a "live" person. Start with those hill-billies from the west.

 

[Beaver101]

Yes exactly this.

A real estate agent can have chatGPT draft a description for a listing and then do a quick edit. It's a more advanced version of copy/pasting a template to work off which always led to copy/paste errors because it's hard to catch every detail.

It's just a tool that makes people more efficient. The boomers are scared and imagining things because they haven't actually used it.

... like the old saying goes "work smarter, cheaper, faster, and produce more, not harder" ... like a dime by the dozen ... and I think the boomers have been through all that ... LOL!!!!

 

[Beaver101]

^ He's implying the boomers can't handle such "technological advancement" ( like a revolution!) and is "scared of artificial intelligence" of a bot disguised as a real person.

Give me a break, just look at FakeBook is sufficient (at least for me), let alone Twitters, et al. And then there's the "real life fakies and flakies" - you can spot them a mile away (at least I can).

I worry CatGPT is going to evolve and, next thing we know, we will be dealing with a Beaver102 in the forum.

... I say bring it on ... Beaver102, Beaver103, etc. ... with more hissy fits!!!!

Is it early morning where-ever you are?

I tried chatgpt for the first time yesterday. I was asking about the Apollo moon missions. it got every question I asked wrong for about 15 minutes. I explained the response was wrong, and it kept giving incorrect responses. Not impressed.

... I just saw this.

Are you serious about trying this ChattyCathy thing out?

Don't those "Chat" bots from Canada Post (or whatever retailer who thinks they so smart with replacing a live chat person (aka CSR) will do the job) turn you off? The minute I find out that the "Chat" is a bot, it's an click on the "X" on the right corner. Bye!!! I ain't wasting my time chatting with a dummy. And that retailer can be sure I ain't a returning customer too!

It will be interesting if humans give robots commands that the robots deem as illogical and self-destructive to themselves so they refuse to obey.

It is inevitable that militaries and law enforcement will want to use robots as weapons, and one can imagine an army of weaponized robots deciding the human leaders fail continuously and orders should be contemplated before they are followed.

Could future robots decide to follow a leader from within their own ranks ?

There are experts in the field who are thinking of these issues and wondering how far we should proceed into something we don't fully understand.

It falls squarely into the "unknown unknowns" category.

... to go boldly where no man has gone before, eh? I say it'll be like getting a taste of your own medicine eventually. Or what's that other saying: "reap what you sow'?

[Beaver101]

^ Let me think about it ... and think some more about it. For one, I'm not getting a virus on my machine.

 

[Beaver101]

You're not going to get a virus from using it, anymore than you would from using this website.

... which is good to know but like I said, I like to "think about it" which means I have to use "my own brain" first ... no need for a Chatwhatever to do that for me. Re your above post #42 confirms that.

I'm thinking of children and their learning, development, m3s. Not us adults.

Just last wk., a 40's woman, told me how a young sales clerk around 18yrs. old refused to give her .15 cents change or to make it from a currency bill. She kept refusing to do it. Finally the supervisor was called over and explained to the girl how to do it.

How pathetic. This is what I mean pathetic numeric literacy. AND the hand caculator was right beside the cash machine. This is survival skill when our systems break down. And they do.

... I'm willing to bet $100 your mom who had waaay less education than that young sales clerk would know how to give back 1. the proper amount of change, and 2. not stand there like an idiot trying to weasel out of providing change.

You have to remind her that not everyone taps with their cc and that the dollar bill/loonies have been phased out in this country. And also not everyone has a smartyphone to refer to as their wallet or their need for a calculator. Sheesh.

Unbelieveable - in year 2023 that there're still people who do NOT know how to do grade 3 math.

But then there are those cashiers (you reminded me) who says "but the register (machine) is "always" correct." My response is "yeah, right, the register is "always" correct but not the person who programmed it."

 

[Beaver101]

Arithmetic is grade 3 math.

Grade 12 math is mathematics.

University level math is abstract mathematics like linear algebra (one e.g.).

 

[Beaver101]

Sure but do your best.

... unfortunately, some folks these days can't even do that without their calculator - handheld version replaced by their smartyphone these days.

Notice (almost) no one carries a pen/pencil and a piece of paper with them these days as 90% of the population carries a cellphone, preferably a smart one instead.
