Thanks for reminding us that he was an idiot. To die, you 1) have to exist, and then to be 2) mortal.. So basically the opposite of (immortal) deity..

The same is everywhere. But not UK centered. It is XYZ-centered. Replace XYZ with the name of the country where the people live. i.e. you live in the UK, you learn the British version of history, you live in the USA, you learn the American version of history, you live in France, you learn the French version of history, you live in Germany, you learn the German version of history, you live in the USSR/Russia, you learn the USSR/Russian version of history, etc., etc. You think you know this and that about history, and then you start (or not? Why would you?) with a person from abroad, and it turns out that your versions of history differ significantly.. and a confrontation ensues.. anger, etc., etc. This usually concerns recent modern history.. because what happened in ancient times or the Middle Ages is "who cares?".. but the closer to our times, the better not to talk to someone from abroad, especially one too close, because it could end up in a street fight on the weekend after a few.. No. It wasn't. The closer we get to our times, the less objective it becomes.. Now we have a ton of disinformation, for example, about Ukraine and Russia's losses in the war. Each side is pushing its own version.. We had a regime ("regime" with quotes, you have your own regime too) change, and the versions of history taught in schools changed. A miracle. Nowadays, even a 20-year-old with a 40-year-old and a 60-year-old will argue on the street if they talk about history. We have a saying: "you've been in the ass, you've seen shit".. I asked ChatGPT to sum up the number of history lessons in primary school: as of today it is 396 x 45 minutes. In high school 216 x 45 minutes. In the humanities department of the school 324 - 432 x 45 minutes. At university it's hard to say. Every “John Doe” here on every street had at least 459 hours of history lessons. One cybersecurity guy here told us how an LLM from Atrophy generated code for him that was hacked during development, and then the hacker laughed in his face and replaced the source code. He described in quite detail what the LLM did wrong and its errors.. So sorry, but your post is not very credible.. You've probably only seen programmers in the movie The Matrix..

I don't know where you had economics in ancient and medieval history, if you even took it in school (which is doubtful in US/UK schools). There's practically nothing there except who fought whom. At most, there was something about agriculture in Egypt and Mesopotamia. But that was just a few sentences. The statement "they sowed rye and wheat" or something else is even difficult to extend further, as the scientists themselves do not know better. ps. Since when do they teach economics in world history lessons? I've never experienced that here.

It must be a tragic news to you but e.g. Android SDK has a function (actually method) which is called "speak": https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/tts/TextToSpeech#speak(java.lang.CharSequence,%20int,%20android.os.Bundle,%20java.lang.String) All operating system functions are named similarly. Ooooh.. wait.. I forgot you don't have an iPhone and you probably don't say "hey Siri" to "her".. Right? So you greet your AI agent (who had nothing to do with AI when it was called that) and you still greeted him. WTF?! You could say the same about anyone - they don't think, they just repeat what they were taught at home, at school, at university, on the street, and elsewhere throughout their early years. The difference is both large and small. To even notice it, you have to understand/know how an LLM works and what worse understand/know how human works. And humans are very bad at this. If a Russian child is against the war and says so at school, their parents are later arrested. Surely they must have gotten that information from somewhere. Where do you mean where? It's not from school—which indoctrinates and instills what it instills. Where? From the family home! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd7xlll39l5o Just a second ago, iNow told us that AI is better than any human programmer in the world. And somehow you didn't think it was appropriate to slam him for that piece of nonsense. Weird? Where does your selectivity come from? Does someone dictate to you whose posts you have a problem with, and which ones are completely rubbish, so you ignore them?

The meaning of the statement "winners write history" is the same as "history is written by the winners".. I don't know what you're talking about. I just rearranged the words. But the meaning in my language is the same regardless of order. I don't know what it's like in yours, and I don't know why you even have a problem with that statement.

Are you unfamiliar with the concept that "winners write history"? https://www.google.com/search?q=winners+write+history Can't you read English? After all, it was mentioned in the conversation with ChatGPT quite clearly..

ChatGPT would say that human history is written by the winners, and therefore it is not objective, i.e. it cannot be trusted without limits. Let's see: What everybody calls by "AI" is not AI at all. Here is discussion about true AI: Find the difference between Donald T. and ChatGPT ;)

ChatGPT LLM opinion about your statement: Well said.

I use this crap every day. Mostly with frustration caused by the mistakes the LLM makes. The largest code that LLM can produce without error is a dozen or so lines. Write in ChatGPT "make me an app in C/C++ that does this and that," let it have a few hundred lines, and that code won't even compile in GCC. Let alone Visual Studio. You will have a list of compilation bugs of several dozen to several hundred lines. If you copy it to him, he'll say "Oops, you made mistakes" (yes, he won't say "I made mistakes in the previous code" - he'll claim that it is your fault and in your code has errors, even though he generated it - after all, for him it was just generating pseudocode that wasn't final). You will spend the next hours copying error messages back and forth from the text editor to the chat. When you run out of context-window-size, it's a complete disaster. And in the case of C/C++ code, that's several hundred lines. After an hour, LLM won't even remember what you were talking about at the beginning of the chat. out-of-context-window-size If there is any reason for this truly absurd and untrue statement? Mental breakdown? There are things in programming that even a 5-year-old can learn. And there are things that aspire to be the most difficult things any human (any human in history) has ever done. Climbing to the top of Mount Everest looks like child's play in comparison, because it's just moving your legs. Linear programming, where one line executes after another. vs. programming for GPUs with thousands of cores, CPUs on thousands of servers that cannot have race conditions, endless loops, any algorithm that is easy to write using recursion, you have to convert to a non-recursive algorithm, etc., and error handling (90% of the code is error handling, and < 10% is the actual code). LLM can't write anything you use every day. It may struggle with simple command-line programs. If you disagree, please write to him "generate a chatbot for me in C/C++ (that doesn't use any external 3rd party libraries!)" ..and show me what it generated for you and whether it's possible to talk to it.. ;) ps. If it can be compiled, it will be a miracle..

You have no bloody idea how bad these LLMs are at programming.. If someone gets excited about the fact that LLM generates the code itself, it is immediately clear that he or she cannot be a programmer. You can nitpick every line of code in C/C++. You just need to know it well. In programming, a single letter change can mean the difference between whether something will or will not work. One letter in something that could be thousands or millions of lines long. But LLM makes mistakes in every line! Then you say to the chat, "Why didn't you implement error handling?" or simply, "This code is terrible, try harder," or "You have an error on line 10." A moment later, he "thinks" and says, "Oops, sorry, that was just pseudo-code, here's the final version." And the same pattern repeats every line. It's faster to write it by hand. Everything that LLM generates could be named pseudocode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocode If you give it your own working, compile-able code and say, "just add xyz to it", LLM will rewrite the whole thing, not just what you wanted it to add. And it will lead you to errors you never dreamed of. The code will stop compiling or become worse. If someone is not a very good programmer + LLM = recipe for tragedy. But LLM is good at suggesting solutions. After all, we don't remember hundreds of thousands of function names. Especially those rarely used. So he acts like a Google search engine without ads. A nice tool for creating test code. You can also send him your code (as long as it's short enough to fit in his context-window-size!) and ask, "What do you think about this code?" or "What could be improved?" He's usually able to accurately assess obvious errors and suggest new, better, more elegant alternatives. It's interesting that he doesn't do this with his own code! But you can't just implement it thoughtlessly later. Line by line, carefully considering each step (because one wrong character = broken code). LLM doesn't have arms, legs, eyes, or ears, so it can't run its own code and check whether it even compiles. It can't verify the effects of its decisions and draw conclusions from them. When it can test its own code, it'll be a gamechanger. For now, it's such nonsense.

And which of the answers in the screenshots do you think is incorrect? Notice how text- and information-heavy the responses I received were compared to what you provided in your opening post. He gave only single lines. Where's the rest? Where does this difference come from?

ChatGPT addresses your question and the issue you highlighted: ps. In a classic chess algorithm, the algorithm iterates through all possible combinations up to a certain level of moves, and for each one, a quality factor is calculated. There's a timer that measures how long it takes to provide an answer. The answer with the highest quality factor is then returned to the player. In LLM you also have to give some answer - you don't have minutes, hours, days, or years to do it, like a human, and some answer is selected from among the paths taken by the algorithm. Someone pays for LLM - it has deep thinking^2, someone is logged in = they can tell ChatGPT to use deep thinking, and someone is not logged in at all and does not have an account, like me, has an answer in a split second. The time spent generating the answer is crucial to whether the answer is complete and correct and how correct it is.
