Had a couple funny interactions with ChatGPT this week, including when asking it for some help with a coding task. It suggested some code that was really problematic and could easily break in the future. I told it I was worried about that code, and it replied with “You’re right, that was a hack.” 🤪
Samuel Lison :lagr_elephant: @manton interesting!
I've noticed GPT offering a lot of errors lately and when I correct it, it agrees and says "You're right!", and then offers something a little more useful.
Nathan Snelgrove I had an instance where ChatGPT wrote some code that just wouldn't work. I told ChatGPT it wouldn't work, and asked it to "write better code." So it did, but that code refused to compile with an error. I copied and pasted the error. It reported back and told me the first code it provided — the one that wouldn't actually accomplish what I asked it to do — would prevent my error. That was true, but also we had just gone over why that code wouldn't work.
That convinced me we have a ways to go before robots will replace us.
Manton Reece @nathansnelgrove Yeah, I'm not worried about being replaced. AI gets many things wrong. More likely it will replace people who don't use AI with people who do use it, for some jobs.
