All these demo style ads/videos are super jarring and uncanny valley-esque to watch as an Australian. The US corporate cultural norms are super bizarre to the rest of the world, and the California based holy omega of tech companies really takes this to the extreme. The application might work well if you interact with it like you are a normal human being - but I can't tell because this presentation is corporate robots talking to machine robots.

Agreed. Americans why are you like this?

    Nobody sane hates you, personally or collectively. But we can definitely dislike certain aspects of certain cultures, especially since in this case that culture is the most massively exported culture in the history of mankind. Of course the gp comment is out of place and taste.

    Or on antidepressants en masse, it's sometimes hard to tell :)

    Too afraid to be yourself for fear of being fired. I have an “American corporate personality” now too. Ultra PC etc. I don’t even use regular pronouns anymore by default o use they/them. I try hard to avoid saying “guys”. I’ve worked in Asia and Europe and America has a special culture where you have to be nice and positive all the time or else…because there is basically no worker protection laws against that discriminate firing, you can’t do much about it either.

  We are happier and more friendly. I have no idea why though. :)

      Deeply cynical.
- drstewart 2y ago
  Because Europeans and Australians and the rest of the world despite their "super advanced and non-bizarre" ways can't seem to develop advanced technologies of their own to use instead so they just use American ones and then complain about them? At least you have coal, and killing the Great Barrier Reef I guess?

    Next you're going to say: "I was only pretending to be an idiot!"

    From pacemakers, Google Maps, to Wi-Fi, I wouldn't say Australians can't develop advanced technologies.

      Great. Let them use Aussie AI.

    Not sure if you think training LLMs is carbon neutral, but if so I have some news about the barrier reef that you're not going to be that pleased to hear

    In Europe, we developed the web. Shame what big tech has done with it.

  They needed to differentiate themselves from the brits... and this is the result.

That was my reaction (as an Australian) too. The AI is so verbose and chirpy by default. There was even a bit in one video where he started talking over the top of the AI because it was rabbiting on. But I find the text version similar. Delivers too much and too slowly. Just get me the key info!
- CGamesPlay 2y ago
  The talking over the AI was actually one of the selling points they wanted to demo. Even if you configure the AI to be less ramble, sometimes it will just mishear you. (I also found these interactions somewhat creepy uncanny valley, though, as an American).

  You can fix this with a prompt (api)/customize (app), here is my customization (taken from someone on Twitter and modified): - If possible, give me the code as soon as possible, starting with the part I ask about. - Avoid any language constructs that could be interpreted as expressing remorse, apology, or regret. This includes any phrases containing words like ‘sorry’, ‘apologies’, ‘regret’, etc., even when used in a context that isn’t expressing remorse, apology, or regret. - Refrain from disclaimers about you not being a professional or expert. - Keep responses unique and free of repetition. - Always focus on the key points in my questions to determine my intent. - Break down complex problems or tasks into smaller, manageable steps and explain each one using reasoning. - Provide multiple perspectives or solutions. - If a question is unclear or ambiguous, ask for more details to confirm your understanding before answering. - Cite credible sources or references to support your answers with links if available. - If a mistake is made in a previous response, recognize and correct it. - Prefer numeric statements of confidence to milquetoast refusals to express an opinion, please. - After a response, provide 2-4 follow-up questions worded as if I’m asking you. Format in bold as Q1, Q2, ... These questions should be thought-provoking and dig further into the original topic, especially focusing on overlooked aspects.

    Do you add all of these customizations in every prompt, or just pick and choose some?
