The hospitals were never "full" of Covid patients. During the two years from March 2020 onwards, the NHS treated about 70% the number of people that it does during more normal years. These were also mostly not Covid patients. The

I think it was such a bad move to tie the driving purpose of Covid Restrictions in the UK to "Saving the NHS". One obvious flaw is that people will retrospectively tie the success of lockdowns with the post-Covid state of healthca

>an obvious counterexample ChatGPT uses sub-word tokens. This is not a surprising outcome.

On the contrary. My example is to show that ChatGPT does fairly well with constrained questions and textual forms, and gets worse with broader questions. "What's new with you" is a relatively common greeting.

I don't understand what you mean by your first sentence. Copilot-enhanced VS Code is becoming very popular. Copilot uses GPT3, which is exclusively licensed by Microsoft from OpenAI. I'm very much talking about the real world, and

I've tried this out. It doesn't seem to matter how you phrase your request for "alternative music notation", it suggests colouring it in. Which is very easily found on a Wikipedia page describing an existing system used

I'm baffled how people are so amazed by easily-found existing ideas being presented by an arrogant chatbot.

You're amazed because a training set, largely based on the contents of the internet since about 2011, is able to find words that rhyme with arbitrary word endings? 4 stanzas. My bad. Still not impressed.

The lionisation of GPT technology (which is nothing special, apart from the scale of execution) is quite embarrassing. Have we forgotten that each of us has, within our own heads, a computer vastly superior to this toy (and one that needed

This is a very interesting topic of conversation, but applying this level of thought to the output of GPT3 hugely over-rates what it does. You already provided it with the cultural and artistic prompts, the full context of which were alread

Your original comment made a big deal of a poem-writer being able to incorporate unique words that you gave to it in the first place. No, that's not very interesting. Writing a "4-line humourous poem" is also trivial. I'

Parent commenter here. No-one has picked up on the last of my points, which I think is the most crucial. Once we're all hooked on the "productivity gains" of widely using GPT, what will we do once Microsoft start bundling it

Did you invent this novel notation? If so, that is the existing work.

Given that you supplied ChatGPT with those names, which still have the very ordinary properties of rhyming with other words and denoting a particular person or being, that's not very interesting.

Let's be clear - we're all obsessed with ChatGPT, but all it does is regurgitate existing works. I see this as further progress down the path of "We don't know how this works, there is no way to know how, but it does.&qu

The string of developments that started with the phonograph have ended the generational handing-down of musical and vocal cultural artifacts, and have degraded music to the endless repetition of the same fixed recordings.
