If you were going for Funny, the joke didn't stand. Nor the vacuous Subject.
However I do have a minor personal experience to share about ChatGPT losing its marbles. Project was file analysis using HTML with embedded JavaScript. First few sessions seemed quite productive, with lots of functionality, but then the so-called AI started cutting pieces away, seemingly at random. Maybe someone has a constructive suggestion?
Asking for constructive suggestions on Slashdot? Now that's ROFLMAO.

Huh. Ironically sounds a lot like the way an analog vs. digital TV signal works. Once the degradation hits a certain point the digital signal just collapses entirely, while the analog would keep working with ghosting and other artifacts in the resulting image and sound.

Did you just say that we are devolving? Was Devo right? "The name Devo comes from the concept of "de-evolution" and the band's related idea that instead of continuing to evolve, mankind had begun to regress, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society."
bymartin-boundary ( 547041 ) writes:
As an aside, "de-evolution" does not make any sense. Evolution is not directed, individuals cannot be said to be more evolved or less evolved. There is only adaptation to the environment. As the environment changes, adaptation occurs, whether that means revisiting previous solutions or inventing new ones is random.
Evolution as a directed process from simple to complex is an idea closely related to the Christian conception of Man as the pinnacle of natural selection, which itself was a grudging 20th centur

Thoughtful and interesting reply. From another source I'm thinking about taking a fresh swing at the same problem with Claude (from Anthropic). However the initial impression was that it's quite similar to ChatGPT.

You're dramatically overestimating what is possible with an LLM. Try to remember that there is a disconnect between what you'd expect from the interface and what's really happening in the background. LLMs generate text on the basis of how tokens appeared in relation to one another in the training data. It's not operating on facts and concepts. It's not composing replies after careful analysis and reasoning. Those things are not possible for an LLM.
The Three Mile Island disaster was caused by a similarly

Hmm... Not sure I had any clear expectations of what it could do. I saw it more as an almost random experiment that produced some surprising results at first and then went quite sour...
I've engaged ChatGPT in a number of dialogues. Some interesting, but I also suspect some of them may be harmful. Too easy for me to think like that? (Old joke: "Too much computer use is bad for mental hygiene."

No, I used to think that until I realized executives produce a lot on needless bureaucracy and waste these things are essential for the countries GDP to grow. If a product doesn't cost 50 times what should cost how else are these companies going to justify the price they charge. As long as those costs can be passed on to the customer the more the better.

Why do we have to listen to economists and make GDP grow?
"In 1987 economist Robert Solow remarked that the computer age was visible everywhere except in the productivity statistics. "
Am I correct in assuming those productivity statistics completely ignore financial market returns? How productive in terms of returns on investment have "computer age" companies been? If economists are ignoring all of that capital creation, why should we make public policy based off of anything they say, anymore than any other
