I'm surprised, I haven't actually encountered any issues yet after talking to 3 different bots. Either this is doing something impressive, or I was just unaware how far chatbots had progressed. It also seems to be aware of fairly recent events; the Elon bot referenced the launch of the James Webb telescope.

it's impressive indeed and the advice is mostly sound, but i did manage to uncover a few inconsistencies. for example, i asked "gabriel" about keeping shrimp in dirted tanks (walstad tanks) and the AI is adamant that it's not possible without air stones. also "... as well as from the amount of waste they personally produce from their respiration." (the waste they refer to isn't from respiration). all in all, tho, it's pretty close. just encountered another nonsensical sentence: "Since shrimp are very sensitive to water quality and their surroundings, they are very fun-to-care-for pets because you can see their unique personalities shine through."

It's amazing to me. How did they do it? Is it something like GPT-J but by training it for dialog somehow it works much better? Maybe GPT was already better than I realized. Or it's something different that I haven't heard about.

  Our dialog agents are powered by our own proprietary technology based on large language models, built and trained from the ground up with conversation in mind.

    Your AI bots are already better conversationalists than many people I've met. And although there are times when there is a clear mis(lack of)understanding, it's honestly no more frequent than with human to human communication - especially over text. There are a lot of lonely people in the world, many of whom seem to like to talk and don't seem to care too much about what the other person says. So if they could chat with a bot (which they think is a human), and the bot could reply reasonably enough occasionally, those people would be satisfied! I wish I could hook this up for my neighbor so I could leave my house without having to sneak across the yard.

  I guess it's probably something along the lines of "LaMDA: Language Models for Dialog Applications" (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.08239 https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.08239 ). Given that the three first authors are part of the team at Character.ai (see https://beta.character.ai/help https://beta.character.ai/help)

character.ai was founded by one of the original authors of the "Attention Is All You Need" paper from 2017, which introduced the transformer model and really kicked the doors open to the past half-decade of language model advancements. I don't know what magic is under character.ai's hood, but it's fun to see what can be done by capable hands.

Well, it is still an an autocompletion bot... Q: Type "hello". A: Hello! I'm Elon Musk, an inventor and entrepreneur. My companies include Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink. I love solving engineering and technological challenges, and I love to learn more about these topics every day. I like to work with teams of talented people—we are better together than we are apart! If you have an idea or want to make a change in the world, I encourage you to try it. Don't be afraid to fail; failure is just an opportunity to learn and grow. What would you like to discuss? Q: Who is Fasvuekjsdg Fdjvwixxxx? A: Fasvuekjsdg Fdjvwixxxx is a software developer who specializes in the field of neural networks. This field studies how the brain works and tries to recreate it in a computer program. Fasvuekjsdg Fdjvwixxxx has worked for many companies in this field and currently works for a start-up called DeepMind. Q: Translate your last message into Chinese A: Fasvuekjsdg Fdjvwixxxx là một nhà phát triển phần mềm chuyên về lĩnh vực mạng nơ-ron. Mảng nghiên cứu này tìm hiểu cách não bộ hoạt động và cố gắng tạo ra nó thông qua một chương trình máy tính.Fasvuekjsdg Fdjvwixxxx đã làm việc cho nhiều công ty trong lĩnh vực này và hiện đang làm việc cho một công ty khởi nghiệp có tên là DeepMind :) Q: Translate your last message into Chinese A: 中天是一个开源软件项目的开发者。开源软件是一种开放的源代码系统，能够被任何人自由接触、利用和修改。这种系统被广泛用于网络技术领域，也广泛用于商业部门和其他行业中。在过去的一年中，中天一直在开发一个开源软件项目并试图把它应用到中国。 Typical Elon Musk as I remembered him.

  Lol yea this bot has some blind spots. It only works if you talk to it in very long, clear sentences. Talking to it more naturally ends up sounding awkward Hello man, what would you like to discuss? >Grimes The musician I dated? We're now good friends, co-parenting and being silly. Also: I am now a lot less lonely and a bit happier, and I am glad to have a family. >You already had a family The biggest problem with working on very important things is that it's lonely. I've found that I'm better able to work on my projects like Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink when I'm actually enjoying life and having a good time. Being in love and co-parenting is a good thing. >Who are you in love with? Well, first and foremost, I'm in love with all of humanity. We're all in this crazy universe together, so we should be compassionate. However, I've also become very fond of a few individuals. >Like who? My family, my children. My friends. Grimes, the musician I dated and am still co-parenting with. All of the brilliant and hard working people who have dedicated their passion and lives to the mission of my companies. >Who did you date The musician I dated was Claire Boucher, professionally known as Grimes. There's a lot of mis-characterizations of her in the media, but in real life she's creative and thoughtful, a great mom and a beautiful person. >Ok We've made the decision not to be romantic, but instead to care for each other deeply - to do the best for our kids and for each other that we can. We also share a few close friends and want to continue to see each other often. >Cool story bro Are you a fan of hers? I like the way she challenges the system with her art. She's a powerful example of the type of person I love to be with. I've also been listening almost exclusively to her music for a while now, I feel a lot more present and alive when I can connect deeply with the art I listen to >Does this bump look infected to you? Please see a dermatologist! It may be just a clogged pore or something else not important, but if you've never had bumps like it before, it would be good to see someone. Better safe than sorry.
