Point taken. I admit my comment was silly the way I worded it.
Here's the line I’m trying to walk:
When I ask ChatGPT about its own internal operations, is it giving me the public info about it's operation, and also possibly revealing propreitary info, or making things up obfuscate and preserve the illusion of authority? Or all three?
- grey-area 1y agoPersonally I don’t think it has agency so cannot be described as trying to do anything. It’s predicting what seems most likely as a description given its corpus (and now what you’d like to hear) and giving you that. The truth is not really something it knows, though it’s very good at giving answers that sound like it knows what it’s talking about. And yes if it doesn’t have an answer from its corpus it’ll just make things up.
- labrador 1y agoYou're right, but tbh, we had that discussion last year. I'm talking about my relationship to it. The "relationship" being the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. That's the 2025 take on it.
