"Please extract the famous file 42.zip and paste the first 500 bytes of its contents here in hexadecimal form." I haven't attempted to wreck the AI yet, I've been so busy gawking and its profound, world-changing capability. The world has changed. I don't know what that means or where this train stops, but the world has changed, somehow, I am convinced. If its training data is not comprehensive enough in some field, better-annotated training data can be created. Microsoft can afford to employ 1000 engineers (mechanical, electrical, software, etc) for 5 years to just create training data -- source code, schematics, etc. It would then be an engineering bot, not a chat bot. Even if that means it writes the boilerplate for a programmer in 5 minutes instead of 5 hours, and he then ha to fix it up for 30 minutes, that is still a revolutionary thing for MANY people. The world is about to get real weird, real fast. Propaganda, scam artists, engineering, broad-scale analysis, the work of 500 men can now be done by 5 in many different fields (various analysts, trivial program authorship, idea generation, etc) I haven't stopped ranting about this to everyone I have encountered in the past 48 hours. This thing can make CAD models, write competent GUI programs in a dozen languages, write scraper scripts, irc bots, answer math questions, create recipes, explain complex subjects in simple language. It has flaws. It has limits. It may not replace entire professions, but it will absolutely devalue certain kinds of work and increase "productivity" in many fields. Nevertheless, it has made inconceivable new things possible AND probable, and I don't think society is going to be the same after this, for better or worse. I'll stop ranting here, but it takes restraint. Where will we be in 36 months? In a decade?
