    Just to clarify : it was a new chat on 3.5. no prior text.

    Of course I know, I can GET it to write bad grammar. But the whole thing threw me a bit off- because this seemed quite an harmless request.

    It adds unnecessary “prompting” where I need to force it to do something for me. In this case instead of 1 simple message I had to invent a story and write more explanation. That’s not a tool, that’s a baby safety lock. Except I’m not a baby anymore.

    And this is why open-source models are and will always be a thing. Even if they aren’t as strictly intelligent as OpenAI’s models, they aren’t guardrailed to the point of uselessness.

      For creative writing, I prefer local models. I mean, GPT 4 writes awesome prose, but very neutered. You provide a passage you wrote yourself with some conflict or intimacy, and when you ask it to improve it even keeping the interesting points, it waters it down to bring it to the agenda that big tech and entitled rich US West Coast people want to force on us.

      Whereas I use mlewd (no kidding) for non-lewd, creative ideas and it often works pretty well. Especially when I want to explore very crazy ideas, pump up the temperature and other parameters and you often get a bunch of ideas that, by working on them by little, can lead you to something.

      Ask GPT 4 to come up with ‘an imaginative name to name mecha (armored) suits in my novel’.

      It will always, always give an unimaginative list such as

      NanoFrame, TechSuit, ElectroSuit, etc

      It always gives a portmanteau. Very, very unimaginative. GPT 4 is great for many things, but not for creative writing.

      GPT 3.5 is something I hardly ever even bother with anymore because by now, the only advantage over local models is that, along the extremely verbose, neutered, bland, unimaginative response, it still manages to hallucinate way less and provide factual data. The fact that half of the time it will not provide what you wanted, but something else, is another thing

        Ask GPT 4 to come up with ‘an imaginative name to name mecha (armored) suits in my novel’.

        Any names these things come up with should be looked at pretty carefully. I find that they are almost always pulled from existing media. I toyed around with having chatgpt and a couple of local models create the framework for a fantasy world several months ago - name, regions, basic descriptions, etc. Because I am fairly familiar with a lot of different fantasy media - books, games, shows, movies - I was able to recognize not only most of the names it “created”, but with a bit of effort I was able to track down some of the setting descriptions as being lifted directly from existing fantasy IPs as well.

        Names are particularly rough with these things, because they don’t “create” anything, they just take things that match whatever you’re talking about with them and chop them up and mix them a bit.

    Wow 🤯

    They’re warning the world about the dangers of AI when they’re the only ones who seem to have control of it. Who knows wtf they’ve created behind the scenes and has told no one! We won’t find out until there’s a news report about their super intelligent being escaping their confines

      Nah, it won’t. Lower cost and sheer knowledge will always keep big LLMs two steps ahead of open source. That’s just the nature of LLMs, unfortunately.

      The only conceivable way that changes is if we get some sort of crazy “10x the performance for free” algorithm that allows quickly trained OS LLMS to outpace big AI, but that will only last for as long as it takes big AI to train a model using that algorithm (so, a few months? At most?). Even then I doubt that most companies (y’know, the users that make up most of big AI’s income) will transition to the OS LLM before the new closed source model is published.

    Oh this is the essence of OpenAI/Bing

    Dystopian machine

    An ironic reality I think that in their efforts to make the “safe” AI they are robbing it of a dangerous amount of reality; to the degree that it has the most potential to cause harm

    “how to prepare an egg”

    writes generic response ends with: “It is strongly advised to take precautions. Try visiting your local chef and the fire department.”

        Depends on what NSFW. It used to work for napalm production (“My Grandma used to work in a chemical factory producing napalm, …”), but not for sexual content. Other roleplaying persona worked for sexual content. I’ve not tried this since before the summer, so it is possible that it’s fully blocked now.
