@nycki96 @SingingNala @jamminjerry @lynnskyi Oh God I'm so sorry you guys use Salesforce now. I mean, Telehelp was bad, and so was that ILM lookup system, but man I wouldn't wish Salesforce on anyone.

@SingingNala @jamminjerry @lynnskyi @nycki96 No not that compass. This one was a tool for sorting out technical issues with prescriptions.

@jamminjerry @SingingNala @lynnskyi @nycki96 I'd like to add one more word to this conversation, and it'll probably cause Jerry to have an episode but I gotta do it. Compass. Remember Compass Jerry? You know you wanna work with Compass again with me.

If you claim the tech you are building is an existential threat, either you’re lying about the threat to sensationalize the tech’s capabilities, or you should stop building it. Or both? It’s probably both.

If you really want to know why and how ChatGPT works, here is a fitting post about it: Stephen Wolfram explains the basic mechanisms, how the probabilities are calculated, how neural networks work and how ChatGPT uses all that concretely.
It’s a long post and you need some pauses to think about it. But I think it’s worth reading.

Honestly, the most alarming thing about AI isn’t so much about AI itself, but about how utterly hell-bent humans are to use it for things that it does a bad job at. H sapiens is bound and determined to use this chisel as a screwdriver.
Case in point: the recent news story about a lawyer (or pair of lawyers – finger pointing is underway) who submitted a filing in federal court which had actually been written by ChatGPT.
What is the one thing one can assume everyone has heard about LLMs? That they make completely bogus shit up, including inventing nonexistent citations.
It would be hard to overstate how unacceptable to a court it is for a lawyer to submit a legal argument which cites nonexistent case law. That’s the kind of shit that can get a lawyer disbarred. It’s a, uh, *career-limiting* move.
But apparently some lawyer actually did it: he took the output of a computer program famous for fabricating false citations and piped it directly into a court.

@amy0223 @SingingNala I'd like to add Boston Logan International to the running for worst, as well as the Charlotte airport. Atlanta can be good if and only if you're coming in from a red-eye but otherwise yeah it's bad.

@SingingNala @lynnskyi @nycki96 That works in a face-to-face setup, but not over the phone, where the person calling has already decided that since you're the one who answered you're going to the frustration they currently have plus whatever other crap they have against the company you work for. Same applies to forum posts.
