It's the difference between wanting an easy answer to a question and wanting information to process on your own. You would have to apply critical thinking when reading Postman's texts to know what he might think about GPT-4 because he never actually wrote about it directly.
The prompt here wasn't something like "give me summaries of Postman's writings so that I can draw my own conclusions about what he would think," it was "tell me what to believe." It's the action and approach that matters.
- p1esk 4y agoOk, sure, but how is this different from talking to humans?
- majormajor 4y agoI don't think Postman would've had much patience for the person who says "I heard it from a dude in a bar so it has to be true" either...
- p1esk 4y agoHow about: “I discussed this with Neil Postman, and he believes that <…>”?
