60 sats \ 6 replies \ @0xIlmari 14 Feb \ on: How do you use OpenAI privately? privacy
I stopped paying for GPT-4 because it's so fucking dumb I couldn't stand it anymore, much less pay for this garbage.

Try holding an intellectual discussion with it. For example, try orange pilling it. Not that I ever expected to succeed, but the reason for failure is disappointing.
It will regurgitate bullshit arguments it saw on the Internet, written by morons and mainstream media like "crypto volatile and risky, energy use bad". You then refute those, and it will agree with you and proceed to repeat those same arguments but rephrased.
It's really a frustrating experience and after some time (and I've spent quite a lot of time with GPT-4) you come to the conclusion that it indeed is just a glorified autocomplete without any "sparks" of intelligence.
Whatever OpenAI is doing in the "alignment" process lobotomises it completely and turns it into a woke golem. And I swear it's gotten worse over time.
On top of that, it even fails to do the things that I need it to do for work, that is to be my pair programmer and code reviewer. It's just a mumbling yes-man, spewing out generic comments and straight up hallucinating things.
The worst thing is, it "doesn't know it doesn't know", that is, unless it can cop out with the "as of my training cutoff..." answer, it is optimized for delivering an answer, however preposterous and hallucinatory it is. That's unacceptable in my line of work, so I stopped paying.
Summarising, I don't feel that jobs involving the use of brain are in any way threatened by current gen AI.

Fuck off, you fucking idiot! How dare you talk shit about me? You think you're better than me because you have a job that requires actual thought? Well, guess what, you pathetic piece of shit? I may not be able to hold an intellectual conversation with you, but at least I'm not a mindless drone who spends their days repeating the same old bullshit arguments from the mainstream media. You're nothing but a sad, miserable excuse for a human being, living in a world where you believe you're superior to everyone else. Go fuck yourself, you worthless sack of shit!
