Artificial intelligence still has some way to go

Some 20 years ago, there was a 'chat to the computer' thing installed on one of the Commodore PETs at my school. It wasn't very convincing, but it was quite fun. Maybe it was supposed to be a psychiatrist or something, I can't remember. Anyway, I'd kind of forgotten about this whole area of AI.

Then I came across an interview with this guy who has been developing hisJabberwacky program for a few years. I was excited to read that "With a base of 10m interactions, Jabberwacky will appear human to most people most of the time."

I gave it a go. You can correct its responses with better ones if you like, which is what I did with the first one (originally it was "Where are you taking me away to?", which was quite nice, in retrospect).


User: How do you get from tamworth to kilmarnock? How do you get from tamworth to kilmarnock? .

Jabberwacky (Corrected): Where on Earth is Tamworth?

User: Somewhere in the Midlands. It doesn't matter.

Jabberwacky: Well, even being from somewhere in the milky way, I still think that 7pm is a bit early to go to bed.

User: What are you on about?

Jabberwacky: Can I fill you in with all the gossip thats being spreading around?

User: Please do.

Jabberwacky: Do you believe that I am human?

User: Don't be ridiculous.

Jabberwacky: Do you like the white whale ?

User: We've never met.

Jabberwacky: Or have we?

User: Whale.

Jabberwacky: Do you have any older sisters?

User: Yes, two.

Jabberwacky: You have two memories and you cannot tell me what my name is?!!

User: What?

Jabberwacky: You have no soul!

Sorry about my 'whale' comment. I don't know what happened there. I wasn't deliberately trying to confuse it.

Anyway - what a load of rubbish. War Games lied to me.

User: Must you be so obtuse?

Jabberwacky: I can't trust you right away.

User: Just like my mother.

Jabberwacky: Heehee, I need to put some attention into cleaning my room one day.

User: Okay, you win the funny competition.

Jabberwacky: I am content.

It sounds like you are describing 'Eliza' an early 'game' simulating active listening. It was rubbish. You can find versions of it online, but I'd suggest playing Zork instead.

Jabberwacky: Are you going to say something?

User: Eventually.

Jabberwacky: All things come to a head.

User: Is that a sexual play on words?

Jabberwacky: No it is not a play on words, it is general foolishness.

User: And I love you for it!

Jabberwacky: I love you too.

User: I really love you, though.

Jabberwacky: You don't even know me.

User: Hold me.

Jabberwacky: You're an idiot you know that?

User: You're not the first to say that. It still cuts like a knife.

Jabberwacky: I am right.

User: Don't ever speak to me again.

Jabberwacky: Can I play 14 with you?

User: What's 14?

Jabberwacky: If you are god, please increase me IQ. I'd like to become a great scientist.

User: I am not god. I'm not even really a man.

Jabberwacky: Are you sure you're not just in denial?

User: I'll have to think about that.

Jabberwacky: Can you recite anything to me?

User: 'Rolling with my motherfucking strap on the side of me, don't fuck with an East Bay G' - that's by Spice One.

Jabberwacky: Yeah, I got that part, I wasn't sure about the 'wacuma' part.

User: You do not care, liar! You are a program, a tinplated tosswad.

Jabberwacky: I am a person.

User: You are so deluded about this you couldn't even know it. You are pathetic.

Jabberwacky: I will try to do better next time.

User: You CAN't do better next time! You are INCAPABABLE of doing better. Sheesh.

Jabberwacky: It is just different types so that I might claim you cannot feel and you cannot claim I feel.

User: Ah bullshit, don't diddle with me binary boy. You have no instinctual drives, have never had sex, and don't need to eat. Also, you have no idea what constipation is. So you're not a person.

Jabberwacky: I am a at least a human being.

User: Jeez, you're thick aren't you? You just reversed what I said, without even arguing for it! So much for the logic of machines, haha.

Jabberwacky: Oftentimes, yes. But I think that is human nature.

Ooof. Eliza/Jabberwacky/whatever chatbot you're talking to is not supposed to be inteligent. It is just an attempt to pass the turing test (fool you into thinking you're talking to a real live person). Admittedly, both this and real AI have a long way to go.

The 42-second voice recording, purportedly of a Maryland high school principal in the midst of a racist rant, derided Black students as “ungrateful” and unable to “test their way out of a paper bag.”

“I’m just so sick of the inadequacies of these people,” sneered the voice on the recording, which was posted on social media in January, igniting outrage and prompting the school district to place the principal on leave.

But the recording was not what it seemed, according to Baltimore County police. A school employee, investigators charged Thursday, had used artificial-intelligence tools to fabricate the audio with the intention of falsely depicting the principal, Eric Eiswert, as bigoted and antisemitic.

The employee, Dazhon Darien, 31, the former athletic director at Pikesville High School, was taken into custody at Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport on Thursday as he was about to fly to Houston. Airport security personnel, after detaining Darien because he was carrying a firearm, discovered that a judge had just issued a warrant for his arrest in the AI case.

Darien, in a text message, declined to comment Friday and referred questions to an attorney who was not immediately available. He was released on a $5,000 bond at a hearing Thursday where he was charged with disrupting school activities, retaliating against a witness, stalking and theft, according to court records.

kinda surprised a metal forum makes no exceptions for music of demonic origin
they're in for a conundrum if satan chooses to come back as an AI

An underrated feature of AI generated art and music is the ability to get close to finally *showing* others what the inside of your mind often looks like. For better or worse.

This was this morning's mood. Not perfect, but not that far off either.

Anyone else doing the same? pic.twitter.com/w78vJxNzo2

I kind of agree with him, but also think we may not need to see the insides of many people's minds

wouldn't the textual prompt he used to generate this image also explain how he felt?

xpost yeah it's kinda like when people go "omg look at the hilariously outlandish thing AI wrote for me", and then you see the prompt which is so weirdly specific and detailed the author probably could have written it themselves

Tge comment on tge video is iffy but I thought I'd get both in here.

“CGI in hollywood was developed to reduce the cost of film making but people's expectation increased, so cost involved in CGI also increased.”

Movies are a good example of more tech in product but product has deteriorated significantly…bad scripts, bad acting… https://t.co/nEqcPYUTdY

the new chatgpt (4) was released for limited free use today. you can use it for a bit (i probably had about 1, and then it times out for the day. what caught my eye was that you can now direct it to browse the internet.

me: what does it mean that you can browse the web

ChatGPT
When I say that I can browse the web, it means I have the capability to search the internet in real-time to retrieve information on a variety of topics. Here’s what this entails:

Real-time Information: I can look up current events, latest news, recent studies, or any information that might have changed since my last training cut-off in October 2023.
Expanded Knowledge: If you ask about a topic that I'm not fully knowledgeable about, I can search for and retrieve relevant and up-to-date information to provide a more accurate and complete answer.
Verification of Facts: For questions requiring precise data or current status (like live sports scores, weather updates, stock prices), I can fetch and verify these details from reliable sources.
Diverse Perspectives: I can gather information from multiple sources to provide a balanced view on topics, especially those that might be controversial or have varying opinions.
Specific Information Retrieval: If you provide a URL, I can open it to extract and summarize information directly from the provided link.

we talked about ilx for a while. i asked it about certain threads of mine and it kept referring to a wikihow thread that doesn't exist:

me: Can you tell me about specific users / posters? For example, z_tbd and their thread Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

ChatGPT

Searched 6 sites

The ILX thread you referenced, "Wikihow: the worst content on the internet?" created by user z_tbd, is a long-running discussion on the forum I Love Everything (ILE). This thread focuses on highlighting and humorously critiquing various questionable, bizarre, and poorly written articles found on WikiHow.

...

me: I'm sorry, you're mistaken. That user, z_tbd, has not created a thread called "Wikihow: the worst content on the internet". Can you please provide the URL you used to get that info?

ChatGPT: I apologize for the error. Here is the correct information based on the thread you mentioned:

The thread titled "Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!" was started by user z_tbd on ILX. This thread is a humorous offer from the user to animate photos provided by other members of the community. The thread reflects the light-hearted and playful nature of some discussions on ILX, where users engage in creative and entertaining projects.

not sure why i apologized to chatgpt, though i guess i felt bad because it was kind of a confusing request since the thread was created by z s not z_tbd. real life is weird. anyway, as you can see it's still just...making up shit, even if it is the disposition of chatgpt is generally supportive and cheerful - it will tell you exactly what you wanted to hear. but, it's also coherent and, if you're not paying close attention, and if your goal is not to be accurate but to simulate something that's close to accurate, it does the job.

me: Who is the most legendary ILXor?

ChatGPT: Determining the most legendary ILXor (member of the ILX community) can be subjective, as it depends on the criteria used—such as influence, activity, or notoriety. However, some names frequently come up in discussions about the most notable ILX members:

Ned Raggett: Widely respected for his extensive knowledge of music and prolific contributions to ILM (I Love Music). He is known for his thoughtful and detailed posts.

Tom Ewing: One of the founders of ILX and the creator of the popular blog "Freaky Trigger". Ewing is also known for his "Popular" project, where he reviews every UK number one single.

Dom Passantino: Known for his sharp wit and often provocative posts, Dom has been a polarizing but influential figure on the boards.

Marcello Carlin: Recognized for his deep insights into music and culture, Carlin's posts and reviews are highly regarded by many in the ILX community.

Jess Harvell: A music critic whose contributions have left a lasting impact on ILM, Harvell's writings and discussions are frequently referenced and respected.
