I appreciate their input, and yours, and I intend this feedback respectfully… But come on… Is a little outrage completely inappropriate?

From a prospective employer’s perspective: Is the candidate going to respect the NDA you’re planning to ask them to sign?

Similar to asking the candidate what they dislike about their previous boss. Their response may indicate how they’ll talk about you someday.

As someone with a kid I feel bad too, but in response to your point, if your kid weren’t developmentally aged to understand what was happening here, would explaining a pet death be so much easier to handle in comparison? I’ve had to explain to a toddler in active crisis that his toys have run out of batteries, went missing, and/or otherwise stopped working… It’s never fun, but putting the kind of existential crisis of owning hardware that is dependent on cloud based services onto your kid seems either sufficiently advanced or totally unnecessary.

Did I miss when OpenAI marketed ChatGPT as a truthful resource?

If we’re moving past the marketing questions/concerns, I’m not sure I agree.

For me, for now, ChatGPT remains a tool/resource, like: Google, Wikipedia, Photoshop, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Tesla FSD, (e.g. for the record despite mentioning FSD, I don’t think anyone should ever take a nap while operating a vehicle with any currently available technology).

Did I miss when OpenAI marketed ChatGPT as a truthful resource for legal matters?

Or is this not just an appropriate story that deserves retelling to warn potential users about how not to misappropriate this technology?

At the end of the day, for an attorney, a legal officer of the court, to have done this is absolutely not the technology’s, nor marketing’s, fault.

I actually agree more with this comment more than after my initial read. You suggest some valid concerns about innovation that regulation could address.

I guess the part I’m unsure about is the assertion about the dissimilarity to Photoshop, or if the marketing is the issue at hand. (E.g. did Adobe do a more appropriate job marketing with respect to conveying that their software is designed for the editing, but not doctoring, or falsifying facts?)

That the industry is creating new $15/hr jobs isn’t the most interesting part of this…

> Jatin Kumar, a 22-year-old in Austin, Texas, said he’s been doing AI work on contract for a year since he graduated college with a degree in computer science, and he said it gives him a sneak peak into where generative AI technology is headed in the near-term.

“What it allows you to do is start thinking about ways to use this technology before it hits public markets,” Kumar said. He’s also working on his own tech startup, Bonsai, which is making software to help with hospital billing.

A conversational trainer, Kumar said his main work has been generating prompts: participating in a back-and-forth conversation with chatbot technology that’s part of the long process of training AI systems. The tasks have grown more complex with experience, he said, but they started off very simple.

“Every 45 or 30 minutes, you’d get a new task, generating new prompts,” he said. The prompts might be as simple as, “What is the capital of France?” he said.

Kumar said he worked with about 100 other contractors on tasks to generate training data, correct answers and fine-tune the model by giving feedback on answers.

He said other workers handled “flagged” conversations: reading over examples submitted by ChatGPT users who, for one reason or another, reported the chatbot’s answer back to the company for review. When a flagged conversation comes in, he said, it’s sorted based on the type of error involved and then used in further training of the AI models.

“Initially, it started off as a way for me to help out at OpenAI and learn about existing technologies,” Kumar said. “But now, I can’t see myself stepping away from this role.”

I think they’re referring to the remastering of the original trilogy, long before Disney got involved.
