    I’m shocked that a guy whose wealth is based on investor hype for AI makes a statement that AI is going to be exponentially more valuable.

    The guy is such a con artist. All the statements about how they fear the AI will be so smart and powerful are coming from from the AI owners. It’s bullshit, If they actually thought their AI could kill everyone, they wouldn’t be bragging about it in the press.

      I love how the statement doesn’t say anything the AI will do, just that it’ll be a lot. Like it’s gotta set off people’s bullshit detector when the promise is both enormous but also very vague lol

    I genuinely hope that this garbage technology falls apart at the seams and soon. Not only is it destroying the environment, but it’s becoming a large factor into brain drain amongst students and adults.

    I highly highly doubt it. It is really good for the main thing it is designed for: language and translation. And because of it’s function it can hallucinate for you decent code or answers to basic issues.

    Try something, I’ve done this personally. Go to any of the big “AI” models right now. In another tab, open up the NYT games, letter boxed. Now try and teach the “AI” to play letter boxed. It isn’t a complicated game but the few restrictions you do have are hard restrictions. For a language model coming up with words that fit the restriction and giving you a solution should be pretty straightforward if it is truly smart. Just a list of a few words that meet the criteria of the game that will solve today’s puzzle is all it needs to do. Do it. See what happens.

    EDIT: Been a few weeks since I last tried. Just tested it on 3 big models. All failed. The answers almost look right for some of them. But they fail. Here was my input:

    You will solve a word puzzle. All rules must be followed all the time.
    
    There will be four arrays of letters labelled 1, 2, 3, 4.
    The first word may start with any letter from any of the arrays.
    A word must be in the English language.
    A word can contain more than one letter from any array.
    A word can not contain two letters next to each other from the same array.
    A word may not contain the same two letters next to each other.
    After the first word is chosen the next word must contain the last letter of the previous word.
    All letters from the arrays must be used at least once.
    A solution should contain less than 5 words.
    
    1: E, T, N;
    2: O, S, B;
    3: W, H, U;
    4: V, A, L;
    
    Solve this word puzzle using the rules and letter arrays as stated.

      A word can not contain two letters next to each other from the same array.

      I think this is ambiguously phrased. Does this mean that a word can’t contain two letters, regardless of their position in the word, that are next to each other in a given array? or does it mean that the word can’t have two letters neighboring each other in the word that are from the same array? For example the word EAT has E and T from array 1 and they are neighboring in the array but not in the word. Is it valid or invalid?

        It doesn’t matter. The “AI” will fail just about any and all of the criteria as you go through iterations. Try it yourself. It will even fail BOTH of your examples of what that can mean, which is a feat a human would not do. A human would choose one and stick with it.

            So a better way to phrase that “rule” might be:

            Two letters from the same array may not be next to each other in a word.

            This could only be interpreted in one way by a human. If you tried to interpret it in thew way that two letters may not be next to each other in the array, well, that doesn’t make sense. As soon as you have more than 1 letter in an array they will be next to other letters in the array. So it could only be interpreted as regarding the placement of the letters in the chosen word(s) for the solution.

      your instructions were intriguing, so I clicked the link for the game and got sucked in

      (contains answer)
      screenshot of game score; salmon pink top area shows the puzzle was solved in 4 words; lower white area congratulates player on completing the puzzle in <6 words

      that was fun! I’ve never played anything like that before, thank you for the link ❤️

      That is so fascinating. I just tried it with the most recent version of g pee t and it failed even after I tried to correct it multiple times
