I believe the parent is referring to "dichotomies in quality" that Don experienced in TFA as not going to go away, not the preceding example of a GPTism.
I would in general agree with the parent that the, as I like to call it, "convincing bullshit" will not go away. It's still there in GPT-4.
- furyofantares 3y agoI'm aware, they still posted an example of something that's already gone away. Many of Knuth's examples are also very noticeably better with GPT-4 and it's a shame it wasn't used, because some of the examples aren't. Their post without the example stands well on its own IMO and is hampered by what is non-sequiter at best and misinformation at worse tacked onto the end.
- permo-w 3y agothe example given by the parent isn’t even an issue with GPT-3 or 3.5, never mind 4. it’s just a quirk of chatGPT. if you access any of the models via the API, you wouldn’t get this problem at all, because you control the system prompt
- CamperBob2 3y agoIt's still there in GPT-4. There's less of it, though. And only the first couple of time derivatives matter.
- permo-w 3y agois it? I can tell you for a fact that if I put "don’t use words like please, sorry, apologize, etc. speak plainly" in the gpt-4 (or 3 or 3.5) system prompt, it will not use those words in its completions
- CamperBob2 3y agoI'm confused
- permo-w 3y agomaybe I misread your comment
