A desert landscape with a large volcanic land feature jutting out in the center. Above is a series of eclipse phases of the moon traveling from the top left downward
toward the peak of the central volcanic landmark. The phases show the moon transitioning from a white full moon to a dark moon and into a red moon once it connects with
the landmark in the image. Clicking on the picture will download

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

Andrew Kadel @DrewKadel@social.coop

My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen.

Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again:

When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?"

If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing!

But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else.

It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.

I picked up a copy from Alice at Edinburgh fringe. Most delightful thing I’ve read in years. Turning heads at coffee shops and bars the way I’ve been snickering to myself while reading it.

Grew up in the American south, have had a talent for accents. I worked at Starbucks in college and sometimes I’d use a British or Scottish accent in the drive through for funsies and some people would just fawn over it, no matter how bad.

I got to ride in a Tesla on autopilot a while back and it was speeding. Like ~10 mph over. Without user intervention and without requiring hands on the steering wheel a single time in a 30 minute drive. So can’t trust the bots.

When I gather up links for my newsletter, I categorize them under a taxonomy of UX sins. But I'm honestly at a loss when it comes to this bullshit, because it ticks so many boxes at once. It's a little early for a rant, but I hope you'll oblige me.

The comments suggest "Sendetastenverunsicherung"

Hey Germans, please come up with a word that means "the fear of typing `return` vs `shift-return` because you don't know which inserts newline and which sends the message"
