Eh, it's a bit better than a parrot. It gives you, what is essentially, the most statistically likely prediction (give or take) of what all the data it's fed suggests the answer should be. It's more like a really, really good probability machine capable of working with an insane amount of data. The most interesting thing about the chatgpt, I've found, is the size of its "short term memory" and the ability to prime it for the responses you're looking for. Last night I asked it if it was familiar with visual novels, and after it spit out some basic summary, I had it write a 3 act visual novel outline for the story of John Brown's raid on Harper Ferry. Then I asked if it was familiar with JSON structures and how they 're used by visual novel engines, and got it spit out the story outline, with a bit of extra interactions, as a JSON; Just not one that works with the engine I'm trying to use. I'm curious to see if I can teach it the json structure of a specific visual novel engine.
You can call it a parrot all you want, but you're missing out on the opportunity that this could be a big ol' Leftist agitprop slop machine.
Yes it does, actually. Just like each and every time in the past where some beneficent and magnanimous :porky-happy: seemed superficially generous up front, the time will likely come where that generosity dries up because of economic necessity and the "good" output becomes worse and worse over time.
There are a bewildering number of examples of this, but I'll use one of the biggest ones in a similar tech field from recent history: Google. It used to actually be a good, even great, search engine. And it was free. And people said the machine's owner did not matter because the output was good. :capitalist-laugh:
Of course we’re always going to have to adapt as capital catches up, that doesn’t mean these contraptions can’t have value in the short-term.
I have no disagreement over that particular point, except to say "adapt" is not the same thing as "submissive acceptance of what capital can do and will inevitably try to do with it."
:reddit-logo: was never good, especially because it swallowed up the userbase of countless smaller competing forums and was a near-monopoly of its kind. Even the "value in the short-term" has already been squeezed with cryptocurrency grifting attempts, deliberately worse interface and layout decisions designed to drive more "engagement," and clunkier and jankier everything except the ever more streamlined and more efficient monetization and surveillance/data-collecting systems that the ruling class benefits from.

Who owns that machine right now? :cap-think:
