That should have been the give away. It's not sitting there pondering your problem in the background. But it sure sounds like something your helpful robot buddy would say.
- yebyen 3y agoYeah, I was about to ask it "OK, how long should I wait, or do you need me to provide more input?" then I remembered, I'm not talking to a being. There's no reason to ask it questions like that. Keep talking about the problem, it's trained to talk about a solution, (don't spoil the illusion! Just let it pretend it saw the PDF file, and see how far this goes.) I still think things might have gone differently if I provided it with the PDF as base64 encoded content. That's me, still not understanding what type of machine is a GPT/LLM, isn't it. It can write a parser but it can't test and run the parser. But it can pretend we did, and it can sure apologize when I call it out for lying!
