I was using Bing to create a list of countries to visit. Since I have been to the majority of the African nation on that list, I asked it to remove the african countries...

It simply replied that it can't do that due to how unethical it is to descriminate against people and yada yada yada. I explained my resoning, it apologized, and came back with the same exact list.

I asked it to check the list as it didn't remove the african countries, and the bot simply decided to end the conversation. No matter how many times I tried it would always experience a hiccup because of some ethical process in the bg messing up its answers.

It's really frustrating, I dunno if you guys feel the same. I really feel the bots became waaaay too tip-toey

Your wording is bad. Try again, with better wording. You're talking to a roided-out autocorrect bot, don't expect too much intelligence.

The very important thing to remember about these generative AI is that they are incredibly stupid.

They don't know what they've already said, they don't know what they're going to say by the end of a paragraph.

All they know is their training data and the query you submitted last. If you try to "train" one of these generative AI, you will fail. They are pretrained, it's the P in chatGPT. The second you close the browser window, the AI throws out everything you talked about.

Also, since they're Generative AI, they make shit up left and right. Ask for a list of countries that don't need a visa to travel to, and it might start listing countries, then halfway through the list it might add countries that do require a visa, because in its training data it often saw those countries listed together.

AI like this is a fun toy, but that's all it's good for.

Are you saying I shouldn't use chat GPT for my life as a lawyer? 🤔

[-] PixxlMan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not quite true. They have earlier messages available.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They know everything they've said since the start of that session, even if it was several days ago. They can correct their responses based on your input. But they won't provide any potentially offensive information, even in the form of a joke, and will instead lecture you on DEI principles.

AI like this

I wouldn't even call those AIs. This things are statistics-based answering machines. Complex ones, yes, but not one single bit of intelligence is involved.

Just make a new chat ad try again with different wording, it's hung up on this

[-] TheFBIClonesPeople@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Honestly, instead of asking it to exclude Africa, I would ask it to give you a list of countries "in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, or Oceania."

Chat context is a bitch sometimes...

Is there an open source A^i without limitations?

[-] redditblackoutkekw@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

I had an interesting conversation with chatgpt a few months ago about the hot tub stream paradigm on twitch. It was convinced it's wrong to objectify women, but when I posed the question "what if a woman decides to objectify herself to exploit lonely people on the Internet?" It kept repeating the same thing about objectification. I think it got "stuck"

[-] Lininop@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Is it that hard to just look through the list and cross off the ones you've been to though? Why do you need chatgpt to do it for you?

Run you own bot

[-] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago

Have you tried wording it in different ways? I think it's interpreting "remove" the wrong way. Maybe "exclude from the list" or something like that would work?

[-] TechnoBabble@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"List all the countries outside the continent of Africa" does indeed work per my testing, but I understand why OP is frustrated in having to employ these workarounds on such a simple request.

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

"I've already visited Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Egypt. Can you remove those from the list?"

Wow, that was so hard. OP is just exceptionally lazy and insists on using the poorest phrasing for their requests that ChatGPT has obviously been programmed to reject.

This is what happens when you allow soyboy SJW AI ethicists take over everything

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Why do you need CharGPT for this? How hard is to make an excel spreadsheet?
