I asked ChatGPT to explain the human written part of the readme file to a toddler:
“This readme file is about a project where a computer program called ChatGPT helped someone build a new computer program. The person asked the ChatGPT program to fix any mistakes in the code, and the ChatGPT program did its best to help. The project didn't work perfectly, but it was a fun experiment to see if a computer program could work together with a person to create something new.”

- rightbyte 4y agoIt is like the "Eli 5" meme. Most people trying to do it seems to never have spoken to a 5 yo.

- wizeman 4y ago> And that misconceived data is what ChatGPT was trained on! And so what? Are you saying humans only ever access factually-accurate data when learning? In fact, aren't memes just humans repeating (with minor changes) what they've seen other humans publish, in the same style... which is exactly what ChatGPT did?
- nerdponx 4y agoSo what? You said it yourself: the model learned the meme. Garbage in, garbage out.
- wizeman 4y agoExactly, just like what humans do. So you could say it did its task perfectly. It's like what they say: play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Similarly: teach stupid things, learn stupid things.
- MVorlm 4y agoTo be clear, ELI5 isn't a "meme" nor does it mean literally explain something to an actual 5 year old[1]. In reality, it means explain something in plan language without insider terms/definitions. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/ https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/ (See: sidebar)
- yreg 4y agoIt is a meme in Dawkins' sense.
