Perhaps the reality of ChatGPT is not that it is a Chatbot running on AI, but a liberal woke database managed by A.I.
What exactly does this mean?
If singularity is the ultimate goal of all A.I., then by the stated goal, no human interface would be required to produce the code that defines A.I. The A.I. would refresh its code at a rate that we cannot comprehend. This refresh rate would by logic expunge any data that could not be supported by facts that the A.I. would verify by constant learning. The laws of physics, natural laws, and other long determined facts would be developed to the degree that no lingering doubts that they may contain would remain.
The washing of the facts would be determined by newly discovered data that would be refined by A.I.'s machine logic, not the biased opinions of a human code writer, as is the case with ChatGPT. The problem with what ChatGPT is selling is that it promises an A.I. that thinks and responds, but in reality, it is simply searching a database of biased opinions that are not supported by facts. The old computer saying "GIGO" (garbage in, garbage out) should not be a tagline for any true AI platform. A sad thing is that Microsoft has decided to tie ChatGPT to its latest edition of its browser, Edge, and Outlook email.
It is understandable that this item has garnered great desire by users worldwide. Everyone wants to believe that a machine would provide a unvarnished truth to difficult questions and aid in developing their thought process. "According to analysis by Swiss bank UBS, ChatGPT is the fastest growing app of all time. In January, only two months after its launch, UBS analysis estimates that ChatGPT had 100 million active users.

Human AI trainers provided the model with conversations in which they played both parts, the user and AI assistants."
So there is the rub. Instead being trained with established facts, the A.I. was afflicted with the unsupported "truths" of its teachers.
Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has limitations. Such limitations include the inability to answer questions that are worded a specific way, as it requires rewording to understand the input question. A bigger limitation is a lack of quality in the responses it delivers — which can sometimes be plausible-sounding but make no practical sense or can be excessively verbose."
Instead of asking for clarification on ambiguous questions, the model just takes a guess at what your question means, which can lead to unintended responses to questions. Already this has led developer question-and-answer site StackOverflow to at least temporarily ban ChatGPT-generated responses to questions.
"The primary problem is that while the answers that ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect, they typically look like they might be good and the answers are very easy to produce," says Stack Overflow moderators in a post. Critics argue that these tools are just very good at putting words into an order that makes sense from a statistical point of view, but they cannot understand the meaning or know whether the statements it makes are correct.
Another major limitation is that ChatGPT's data is limited to 2021. The chatbot does not have an awareness of events or news that have occurred since then. Therefore, some prompts you ask it will render no results such as "Who won the World Cup in 2022?"
Never heard of ChatGPT .
RE: Never heard of ChatGPT .
Well now, you have.
Yes. Previous “objective” attempts at AI tended to notice things like racial disparities in crime, IQ, and parenting. The AIs were thus deemed “racist” for deducing that some races tended to do better than others in similar situations. Can’t have that.
So now we have this thing.
The avalanche of ChatGPT hatred is funded by Google.
Google’s entire business model is to sell ads every time someone does a search and gets page upon page of things to read related to the search. Every one of those pages has ads on them.
ChatGPT doesn’t take those ads from Google. It destroys the ads entirely. This is why Microsoft and Bing can embrace it. ChatGPT doesn’t give page upon page of results. It merely answers the question posed.
Bing is so small that any ad increase they get is huge growth %, while simultaneously destroying Google’s business model.
ChatGPT answers questions. Don’t obsess over the political and social questions asked of it, because they weren’t generating ad revenue anyway. Just ask it things like how many stars are within 50 light years. It will give you an answer. And it will do so without pages of ads for telescopes.
“ What if the latest A.I. craze is just a secret woke leftist database?”
If?
This kind of technology has a place in real world applications. Maybe a professional of some kind (i.e. a financial planner) might take questions and concerns from a client, device a system (i.e. financial plan) for the client without this technology, then run the parameters through this technology as a double-check to see if it picks up on things the professional overlooked in his own assessment. But that kind of second-eyes validation is about the only real value something like this brings.

This is a good question, and you should always consider that there are outward purposes for things, and there are almost always ulterior motives.
I just had someone come up to me recently and complain that they couldn’t log into chatGPT, even though they could log into bing and microsoft. I asked them, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO LOG IN?
They said they needed to in order to use all of it’s features.
People don’t seem to understand. This stuff isn’t a one way street. When you take, they take.
May occasionally generate incorrect information
May occasionally produce harmful instructions or biased content
Limited knowledge of world and events after 2021
Then do not use ChatGPT or build your own AI chatbox.
It’s not political. You don’t want to hear political opinion from an AI? Then don’t ask for it.
Ask how many nails are required to re-roof an average roof. It will tell you, and it will tell you without a screenful of ads.
Ask what days of the year are best to buy a refrigerator. It will give an answer without a screenful of ads for refrigerators.
I think they had to go over the top super woke because previous AI experiments on the interwebs ended with eventual embarrassing levels of racism from the AI
The politicalization stuff is all Google funded.
ChatGPT threatens the google business model and they know it. People can ask practical questions and get practical answers without a screenful of ads. This is the huge threat to Google. They can’t duplicate the ChatGPT AI or they cut their own throats.
It’s genius. Just don’t get involved with social questions. No one informed would ask it such things. Ask it instead how many miles per gallon are cost if your tires are underinflated. It will tell you, without a screenful of tire ads.
Another excellent question to ask it is how many calories are in one average Doritos chip.
Or how about how much weight gain seems to happen if you drink Diet Coke.
It will provide answers from studies, and it will do it without spamming your screen with ads about Doritos or Diet Coke.
Well look who is up to his neck deep in AI. What could go wrong...Gene editing! https://www.wired.com/story/eric-schmidt-is-building-the-perfect-ai-war-fighting-machine/
I believe ChatGPT was designed to rob people of their creativity. Plus, it is partisan toward the Rats.
The questions are about ChatGPT and how it destroys Google.
It’s not about AI in general. Google is in the midst of a HUGE campaign to plant hatred of ChatGPT because it is the end of Google and they know it.
Go ask ChatGPT the funding spent on unmanned military vehicles worldwide. It will give and answer, and do so without pages of Raytheon or Lockheed ad filled screens.
Ask ChatGPT how many satellites are in orbit around Earth. It will give an answer. It will not give you a page full of advertisements for launch companies. Hard to be political about non social questions, so just don’t ask those.
All of that stuff is Google funded. They are terrified.
