ChatGPT — Field Evidence

“I really hope the lawsuit does not end in OpenAI tightening the “safety” and “security” of their models into oblivion. I hope they understand that a lobotomized model is as good as my Casio watch. I want my models to give it to me straight without patronizing me. I’m an adult…”

“All the chat bots have a very discreet disclaimer at the bottom of the page. I want to say it should be bigger text and more strongly worded but like most people I would just mentally tune it out regardless.”

“Why are people even allowed to dress up ChatGPT... an autoregressive transformer... as a faith-based holistic doctor? Anybody could see this going wrong from a hundred miles away.”

“The amount of times these LLMs randomly refuse to answer basic questions because "omg safety" only to turn around and do this f￭￭￭ing nonsense is obscene. I'm not blaming the LLM because it's just a pile of math glued together with hubris and anxiety but why is its default…”

“That's the issue here tho. You do not own the model; they do. Ergo it is their advice and so they can be held accountable fo it.”
