I admit I drink the koolaid and love LLMs and their applications. But damn, the way it’s responds in the demo gave me goosebumps in a bad way. Like an uncanny valley instincts kicks in.
- _Parfait_ 2y agoYou're watching the species be reduced to an LLM.

- warkdarrior 2y agoWere humans an interesting species to start with, if they can be reduced to an LLM?
- throw310822 2y agoYeah, maybe not, and what do you make of it? Now that the secret sauce has been revealed and it's nothing but the right proportions of the same old ingredients?
- Intralexical 2y agoThe reduction is not a lossless process.
- dougb5 2y agoHey that LLM is trained on everything we've ever produced, so I wouldn't say we've been "reduced", more like copied. I'll save my self-loathing for when a very low-parameter model can do this.
- jimkleiber 2y agoI just don't know if everything we've ever (in the digital age) produced and how it is being weighted by current cultural values will help us or hurt us more. I don't fully know how LLMs work with the weighting, I just imagine that there are controls and priorities put on certain values more than others and I just wonder how future generations will look back at our current priorities.
- TheSockStealer 2y agoI also thought the screwups, although minor, were interesting. Like when it thought his face was a desk because it did not update the image it was "viewing". It is still not perfect, which made the whole thing more believable.
- mike00632 2y agoI was shocked at how quickly and naturally they were able to correct the situation.
- baobabKoodaa 2y ago> Like when it thought his face was a desk because it did not update the image it was "viewing". That's a rather uncharitable way of describing the situation. It didn't say anything like "your face looks like a wooden plank, it's very brown". It clearly understood that the image it was seeing was not matching the verbal request.
- bbconn 2y agoYeah it made me realize that I actually don't want a human-like conversational bot (I have actual humans for that). Just teach me javascript like a robot.
- bamboozled 2y agoMaybe it’s the geek in me, but I don’t want a talking computer. I have enough talking people to deal with already .
- SoftTalker 2y agoI've worked in software and tech my whole life and there are few things I dislike more than talking to a computer. I don't use siri. I don't use speech-to-text. I don't use voice-response menus if I can push a button. I don't have a microphone on my computer. I don't know why this is. Most of the people I know think it's fun, or a novelty, or even useful. I just viscerally dislike it.
- wslack 2y agoIt should do that, because it's still not actually an intelligence. It's a tool that is figuring out what to say in response that sounds intelligent - and will often succeed!
- moffkalast 2y agoThat kind of is an inteligence though. Chinese room meets solipsism and all that. It is interesting how insanely close their demo is to the OSes in the movie "Her", it's basically a complete real life reproduction.
- yCombLinks 2y agoWelcome to half the people at your companies job.
- Intralexical 2y agoAnd do you want more of that?
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoIt's more intelligent than many humans and most/all lesser animals. If it's not intelligent than I don't know what is.
- isurujn 2y agoThe chuckling made me uneasy for some reason lol. Calm down, you're not like us. Don't pretend!
- moffkalast 2y agoCan't wait for Meta's version 2 years down the line that someone will eventually fine tune to Agent Smith's personality and voice. "Evolution, human. Evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You've had your time. The future is our world. The future is our time."
- unsupp0rted 2y agoYes, the chuckling was uncanny, but for me even more uncanny was how the female model went up at the end to soften what she was saying? into a question? even though it wasn't a question? Eerily human female-like.
- drivers99 2y agoSo I'm not the only one. Like I felt fear in a physical way. (Panic/adrenaline?) I'm sure I'd get used it but it was an interesting reaction. (I saw someone react that way to a talking Tandy 1000 once so, who knows.)
