Wouldn’t senators have access to actual experts who, unlike ChatGPT, would be correct close to 100% of the time?
post
The dumbest people alive are running everything and have unlimited access to a narcissism powered bullshit machine.
What a disaster.
Can someone tell this dipshit that he can use his phone to call actual experts and talk with them?
Jesus fuck we are governed by the stupidest motherfuckers available in a given tristate area.
The problem is having enough experts for confused but interested people to talk to, having a "live" response to questions is always going to get a stronger reaction from people
it's kind of what is supposed to happen with news interviews but with people having good reasons to not trust big news outlets looking to something even as bad as ai makes sense to me
This particular idiot has the power to demand experts answer his questions, unlike most of us. He just doesn't care about finding the truth, unless it's his preferred "truth."
Experts talk back when you say stupid things at them. Chatbots just praise you for it.
With Jippity you don't have to worry about your questions being stupid.
This could be a good thing in the short term.
This is what terrifies me, not whether AI will get to the point where it will be reliable, but that people won't know. People are idiots with no critical thinking skills, and every day they become more idiotic.
Just because ChatGPT sounds confident, it doesn't mean it is right.
It's not even reliability, AI is pushed to agree with users to increase the time they spend interacting with it.
If this asshat asks keeps asking about things that make it seem clear he doesn't think poor people deserve medical care or government assistance it's going to start telling him he's absolutely right and has cut through the political discourse to see the simple truth that some people prefer to leech off of the government instead of finding a job.
It doesn't matter how fucked up your world view is, if you keep talking to AI in an ongoing context window it will start to agree with you.
I can see it going both ways. If he starts new chats all the time, it could give him info he usually isn't exposed to.
I don't think people who use voice AI tend to start new chats though.
He has a whole lot of experience in not listening to anything he doesn't want to hear.
When the AI tells him something he doesn't like then it's a stupid thing repeating commie libral talking points. When it tell him he's right that the poor shouldn't have health care anyway and he's a rare and brilliant thinker then it's finally telling the truth.
A couple of years ago I asked chatgpt to recommend some areas in Portugal with a fairly mild climate, and it recommended a place that I looked up, to find the climate was described by the locals as 10 months of winter and 2 months of hell.
Can confirm. People lean so much on tech they switch off their brains. Gps and parking cameras come to mind. The number of people crossing multiple lanes last minute to hit their exits and taking up to 5 minutes to L park is getting ridiculous.
Tech should be a tool, not a crutch for able adults.
This is how I use my GPS:
- What's the next turn? Okay, thanks, I'll look for it.
- What's my exit? Okay, I'll look for it.
I once asked a family member to be my navigator while I was driving their car in their town. They took their phone out, let the GPS give the instructions, and then proceed to start watching tiktoks. I missed my first exit because the GPS told me "this is your exit" as I was passing the exit.
Can confirm. Am idiot.
Great, so if it says something he doesn't agree with he can just give it a weak amount of pushback and it'll completely flip over to agreeing with him.
"Experts predict that a Medicare for All policy would actually lower healthcare costs and improve outcomes for a majority of people."
"What? That can't be right! Sounds like woke bullshit!"
"You're absolutely right!"
What a typical republican. Who cares if it‘s 100% correct, but it makes me feel good about what I hear.
Feels before reals, a snowflake in his safe space.
If this was a software engineer discussing how to architect something, I'd just nod and agree, it's not 100% correct but whatever, it's like a rubber ducky method on steroids.
HOWEVER this is a fucking politician who writes laws. From a national security perspective, this is 100% fucked. There is huge gain to be had out of monitoring their accounts alone, but this is beyond that. It means monitoring and controlling their thought processes.
All Sam Altman has to do is give a special prompt or fine tuned model to politicians and have it lean towards policies he agrees with. You can puppet these dudes by controlling their internal monologue with LLM if the end up relying on it for this... It's totally fucked.
It's as if it was the 70s and one of your US senators was going to a psychologist who was secretly a USSR agent. It's that level of fucked.
The LLM models are already designed to be compliant and not turn people off to their use by correcting them or making them feel bad about their opinions by telling them they’re wrong.
IOW, pushback will be minimal if it exists at all so people stay engaged.
Grok has already been tuned to not contradict right wing views or at least not criticize them so quickly as it had previously famously done. I haven’t heard about the others, but I’m sure they all bend the knee similarly to their wealthy overlords.
To be fair, in Tommy's case, it's better to have chatgpt write the laws.
You think the person who blocked all military promotions because of women's health care is actually interested in doing the right thing? I think he is waiting for that OpenAI donation to arrive after he said that.
Tbf he's just a senator, he's not writing policy, he just signs whatever the relevant industry puts on his desk.
As someone who has had significantly more concussions than average I deeply resent being associated with people like this.
I mean, ChatGPT us almost certainly far less "evil" than it's creators, and would call that "cartoonishly evil" and mock him.
I always knew he was and evil prick. But I assumed there was some kind of evil predatory intelligence behind the facade. You know, kind of like a serial kill.
Funny that he just proved me wrong. Turns out he really is a fucking idiot.
Cheer up they could have been asking to Grok...
tommy tuberville is making me laugh the most.
we're really just living in a bad parody movie at this point.
I mean, he is a republican. They are hired for being controllable pedos, not smarts.
I get it, less pressure than talking to a real person, unlikely to get you outted for asking dumb questions, and he seems aware that the answers given need to be fact checked.

[X] doubt
I am 100% certain Tommy fucking Tuberville's notion of "fact checking" consists solely of asking "does this confirm my shitty, racist and anti-scientific biases or not?"
I guarantee you, it's a lot closer to correct on any subject you want to mention than Tommy Tuberville, unless it's about molesting children.
Honestly, most Republican politicians would benefit listening to ChatGPT over their own inner voice.
Every time I see this dumb motherfucker's name, I just know it's going to be some retarded dumbassery.
republicans and dinos almost never read what they sign into law. so it fits.
Every single time I hear about Petey Potatotown it's the new stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Bot or NPC?
I'd imagine that it would be something more like how it's done in Hollywood, where there's a voice.
It's still bewildering to me, since for the longest time, I did just think of it as being Hollywood convention, since there's no good way to show thoughts in an audiovisual medium.
If you want to speak to a human being on a car trip and you have no one to talk to find a discord with active voice channels, probably outside the technical scope of a senator though... If only they had more resources /sarcasm
These things have a very specific use and it's performing (error prone) calculations, just like all conputer programs. The only advantage is they can look up the input data and figure out what equations to use. I wish people didn't anthropomorphize them.
Where should they be getting their information?
