The most likely response is not necessarily an accurate response. It claims dogs do not give birth to babies. That is indeed the most likely response as babies are mostly, but not exclusively, associated with humans. However, a five year old child would understand me if I told them my dog had babies.

Have you used chatgpt much? I asked your prompt: Do dogs give birth to babies? > Dogs give birth to puppies. I had a long discussion about the expansion do space and the Hubble constant, and tried to trick it in a variety of ways. It was correct in everything even though it wasn’t able to go into proofs and likewise. I then tried to convince it that the universe began as a small potato and wasn’t able to do it without directly telling it to assume it is and to create fiction off that concept. It was then able to make a credible theory of what the universe would be like if it started as a small potato, even going into how the texture of the potato would have caused variations in the density of mass, etc. Even then it would find ways to sneak in this isn’t true and that the universe was never a small potato. This is remarkable no matter the actual reality of what’s going on behind the scenes. I would also note that human thought is just a bunch of gradient functions in the electrochemical space, and thus also follows a most likely path. Edit: to head it off at the pass, here is what it says with your other prompt: My dog gave birth to babies > Congratulations on the new additions to your family! If this is your dog's first litter, it is important to make sure that both the mother and the puppies receive proper care and attention. This includes providing a clean and safe environment for the puppies, as well as making sure the mother is healthy and well-fed. It's also important to keep an eye on the puppies for any signs of illness or distress, and to consult with a veterinarian if you have any concerns.

  Yes, I have tried ChatGPT, and it told me dogs do not give birth to babies. However, ChatGPT doesn't provide deterministic answers and improves responses over time. Many of the internet examples no longer work. I asked, "If a woman gives birth to a baby in 9 months, how many months does a dog take to give birth to a baby." It answered, "Dogs do not give birth to babies." Currently, it answers, "On average, a dog's gestation period (the amount of time it takes for a dog to give birth to puppies) is approximately nine weeks or 63 days." It still doesn't understand pregnancy is a concurrent event (women can be pregnant at the same time) Q: If a woman takes nine months to give birth to a baby, how long does it take a billion women to give birth to one baby? A: It would take approximately 2.7 million years for a billion women to give birth to one baby. I do love ChatGPT to help me write certain documents. For example, for a performance review, you can give it bullet points and ask to write a review. After correcting it with Grammarly, it is usually better than what I would have written.

    >I asked, "If a woman gives birth to a baby in 9 months, how many months does a dog take to give birth to a baby." It answered, "Dogs do not give birth to babies." to be fair, I'd probably say the same thing lol. "Baby" in this context was already primed to mean "human child." >Q: If a woman takes nine months to give birth to a baby, how long does it take a billion women to give birth to one baby? >A: It would take approximately 2.7 million years for a billion women to give birth to one baby. I asked the same and it answered "It would still take 9 months for a billion women to give birth to one baby, as the length of time it takes for a woman to give birth is not affected by the number of women giving birth simultaneously."

    > For example, for a performance review, you can give it bullet points and ask to write a review. Please don't do this. It obfuscates what you are trying to communicate. You are harming your communication and your relationship.

      Still not as bad as it's going to be. I'd wager that within a year someone's going to write a script that compares your GitHub contributions against your peers, feeds all of your Slack/email conversations into ChatGPT for professionalism, tone, and helpfulness analysis and feeds it back into ChatGPT to produce a completely automated "performance review".

        That's fine because within a year my and my peers are going to let ChatGPT write all our code and handle all our code review requests. It's going to be AI all the way down.

      I am after a rewrite in more elegant language than I can produce myself. I do not auto-accept the review; it is a good starting point for me to tweak. Any written performance review is followed up by a face-to-face meeting to clarify anything written down. ChatGPT is a tool, not magic, however, I find it helps with writers block.
