What an utterly absurd statement to make. It is embarrassing honestly and not worth more of a response.

If you want to know anything about Africa you have to read news from Africa.

No one in the west reads anything but the most sensationalist bullshit so you can't blame reporters for writing it.

The real story is just never interesting enough.

The default is rather wordy. You could instruct chatGPT4 to be less wordy or in the API put instructions to be less wordy in the system prompt or limit answers to a sentence.

I would assume the poster just edited this though.

"I flipped a coin once in Japan and it landed heads. I can't understand why the coin always lands on heads in Japan.

It is those greedy Americans that have to have coins with head and tails".

I would really look at a chart of USD/Yen. My fav dining experiences were in Canada in 2000 when USD was so strong vs CAD everything on the menu was half off.

Midjourney and GPT4 suck , don't use them. Use your old tools and let fools like me waste their time.

Krita makes Gimp irrelevant. I don't know why anyone would use Gimp over Krita other than knowing the Gimp workflow that well.

Totally agree. I think this is just the insecurity of the person who thinks this.

If you go to the same gym you are already in-grouped. It is the insecurity of the new person who would think they are out-grouped.

Meatheads love new lifters. No one showed up at their first gym 230lbs and ripped. Even the biggest guy in the gym can relate to being the intimidated new lifter.

The only difference I would think between a gym with weights and a climbing gym is that the people at the climbing gym look less intimidating.

Testosterone levels play a huge role in both memory and sexual satisfaction too.

I mean those are standard effects older men report from testosterone replacement.

To do an experiment in this area and not even mention testosterone is basically intellectual fraud to me.

He might not have thought it was a shortcut though.

If he thinks it is like querying a database and had never heard of hallucinations then this could just be an honest mistake. Especially if he thinks AI would be smarter than a database.

My first thought that he was a mess in general but we really don't have enough information. Like the other guy saying he cheated in life, it is pretty absurd to infer that.

It is not worse for me. I do notice the novelty has worn off. Asking chatGPT4 about why people would think this on here I think it nails it with the novelty effect lol:

"Indeed, the performance of an AI model like ChatGPT doesn't deteriorate over time. However, human perception of its performance can change due to a variety of psychological factors:

Expectation Bias: As users become more familiar with AI capabilities, their expectations may increase over time. When AI doesn't meet these heightened expectations, users might perceive this as a decline in performance.

Novelty Effect: At the beginning, the novelty of interacting with an AI could lead to positive experiences. However, as the novelty wears off, users may start to focus more on the limitations, creating a perception of decreased performance."

Without this thread I would have said it got stronger with the May 12th update. I don't think that is really true though. There is this random aspect of streaks in asking questions it is good at answering vs streaks of asking questions it is less good at answering.

Because there is a ton of control you have over the image and these tools are incredible.

It is a ridiculous for someone to knock a tool if they barely know how to use it.

You practically see no midjourney prompts using :: because most people haven't bothered to read the documentation.

As if a huge part of the experience of a beach in Bali is not feeling the sand between your toes, the temperature of the water on your skin, the smell of the ocean, the ambient air temperature, the feeling of a change in your weight when you dive underwater, not being able to breath underwater, being cooler when you get out of the water than when you enter, all the local people your interacted with to get to the beach.

Maybe it is you who lacks imagination because pretending reality is just what you can see and hear while wearing a mask is utter bullshit.

Also, if you don't have Facebook and want to go to this running club you would be forced to actually befriend someone to such a degree in the club that can keep you updated that has Facebook. It can't just be the "convenient" disposable Facebook relationship.

For me, without social media I pretty much miss out knowing about all the local art shows that I wasn't going to go to even if I did know about them. I don't get the invite to the friend of a friend's dinner party that I would have made up an excuse for why I can't go. I also miss out on seeing pictures of all these events that I didn't find worth my time to see with my own eyes.

We have really distorted the meaning of inconvenience to have something to do with the lack of high volume, unsatisfying, shallow experiences.

As if having sex is an "inconvenient" type of porn.

The best part though is I have actual experiences that aren't mediated by the judgement if the experience is worth someone else knowing about the experience the very moment after I have the experience.
