Well I spent a few minutes asking #chatgpt what features it’s next version would have.

I then asked it to pretend that it was that version and what the next version would have… I did this about 15 times until I got to chatgpt-20.

I was too scared to continue this process!

Some pretty wild stuff.

      It’s a fun exercise, but all this really is, is “okay, talk out of your ass” and “now imagine you weren’t just bloviating at random and that was real”, rinse and repeat. Fun, but it’s a bit like hitting the exponent button on your calculator a bunch and going woooah big number! Just with words instead.

        You were downvoted, but that’s exactly it. People are weird. Sometimes they recognize that AI can hallucinate, and sometimes they think the AI is speaking the absolute truth.

          I never fuss about downvotes, people are inscrutable. If anyone has any detailed feedback I’m all ears.

          These LLMs are not aware of what they’re saying. That’s why they occasionally hallucinate, they’re basically philosophical zombies.

        For real. The whole list I’m like “good luck” ha. It’s going to transcend reality by scraping data off Twitter and Reddit? Have fun with that. It sounds just like every other self assured egotistical ‘guru’ charlatan, completely talking out its digital ass.

        If the growth of AI is indeed exponential, it will happen before the millions of years it would take for us to go extinct.

          Oddly enough, that could save humanity from “extincting” ourselves. If AI had all of those listed capabilities, humanity would be unable to contain it. AI would become our God, but with abilities like that, it would truly be a God. AI would be as scary and obscure as the Christian God is already, but it would be something tangible that we could interact with and worship.

          A God that even atheists could love, which would also solve our problems. A parent we can continually ask “why?” that would never get annoyed, and always have a complete answer. Imagine having every single why/what-if question humanity can dream up being instantly answered.

          I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.
