Utopia Talk / Politics / Chat GPT hallucinations

williamthebastard rank	Tue Jul 01 10:42:29 Was forced to accept a 2 day job in the middle of my vacation and am using ChatGPT to provide a draft that I can edit to speed things up. While it certainly is useful for creating a draft, it literally inserts completely incorrect terminology here and there that I dont know where its getting it from. Mistakes like that in a medical report can clearly pose a danger to the subject. E.g., : "Blood pressure 133/78, puls 72." was magically translated as: "Blood pressure: 133/78 mmHg Pulse: 72 bpm Temperature: 36.8°C" It just invented the "Temperature: 36.8°C" from out of nowhere. Its done stuff like that several times. Dumb fucking automation machine.

williamthebastard rank	Tue Jul 01 11:29:07 Source text (translated by me): Normal weight: [KG] ChatGPT: Normal weight: [not specified]

williamthebastard rank	Tue Jul 01 12:09:25 Source: decompensation. ChatGPT: Heart failure decompensation. Just dangerously wrong assumptions
williamthebastard rank	Tue Jul 01 12:53:10 Bam! Time to hit the beach gym in Cannes for my daily workout followed by a plongér dans la mer. Oh God, my life is so much better than the neofascist junkie locked up in a dark room talking to his sentient phone lol
Cherub Cow rank	Sun Jul 06 18:10:30 "Normal weight: [KG]" ChatGPT wrote "KG"? That *is* fucking retarded. Only a fucking retard would write that. Or did williamthecoward write that? Let's check: Does williamthecoward even understand why "KG" is incredibly wrong? Given williamthecoward's abysmal comprehension of anything STEM-related, I would guess not. So if we understand this thread correctly: williamthecoward will pretend to understand that ChatGPT is blatantly wrong in this context... then proceed to ask ChatGPT to confirm his errors and biases in other contexts. This is called the "Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect", if anyone is curious.
Seb rank	Mon Jul 07 14:48:21 WtB: What prompt did you use? Sometimes you have to really emphasise not to add anything new quite a lot. But also the basic chat gpt isn't designed to do this.
williamthebastard rank	Mon Jul 07 14:54:02 I think I said something like "Please translate this sentence from a Danish medical examination into English"
williamthebastard rank	Mon Jul 07 14:54:40 Chatbots are much, much better at composing in one language than translating between two languages
williamthebastard rank	Mon Jul 07 15:05:01 Yeah, agencies still add a clause that its forbidden to use chat bots and that doing so could lead to a deduction in the agreed price. Thats partly to do with the fact that all these kinds of documents are confidential, though.
williamthebastard rank	Mon Jul 07 15:18:21 I say "please" just in case its become sentient
Seb rank	Mon Jul 07 16:15:04 "Please" can affect the response, such is the magic of vectors.
Pillz rank	Mon Jul 07 16:17:36 Lol @ wtb
williamthebastard rank	Mon Jul 07 16:20:22 Yeah Ive read that somewhere. That, and the fact that Im just generally in official "Please read the guidelines" language mode when Im working, is probably why I say please without thinking about it. Currently, I would think contractual lawyers (I met one from the US a week ago who had just lost his job to AI) and programmers are in the greatest risk zone, but translators will get hit at some point. Certified translators will probably survive longer, but their job will be to review, edit and certify translations.
williamthebastard rank	Mon Jul 07 16:38:26 Oh, and journalists and writers in general, who dont switch between languages, are already fucked. Although, an old school friend of mine still gets ghost writing jobs, strangely enough, but he writes very well, so they probably think its worth paying him for now. Theyve created a complete fictional author though for his stuff, which makes me laugh every time I see that photo of her. In reality, Orphelia Crimson is a 5ft, 5" 45 year-old guy, which I hope doesnt break Cherub the Cow's heart: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567070134238
williamthebastard rank	Mon Jul 07 16:41:31 "When she’s not crafting her next tale of timeless love, you’ll likely find her curled up by the fire with a classic novel, indulging her inner bookworm, or exploring ancient ruins and uncovering hidden histories that inspire her writing. Her latest series, The Romances of Marius Baciu, Vampire Extraordinaire, explores the dark, seductive side of immortal love." rofl...in fact, when he's not quickly whacking together some BS for money, he's sitting smoking a fat joint watching the Ravens play.

Cherub Cow rank	Mon Jul 07 21:43:08 lol@wtcoward Look at how egregiously he *continues* to butcher units above (and all scientific understanding elsewhere), and then realize that some retards contracted him to translate STEM documents. Translation typically requires understanding the source material, but because williamthecoward cannot even read or write English (just look at all of his grammatical mistakes above) and has no comprehension of STEM, the people who hired williamthecoward are absolutely getting substandard output. My guess would be that they send the bulk of the slop work to williamthecoward-types because it's mundane zero-thought labor for retards, but then they bring williamthecoward's "finalized" material back in-house to fix all of his mistakes. You can definitely tell that whatever the fuck williamthecoward does, it is absolutely not the final product used by any *professional* organization. You couldn't trust him to translate the menus of strip-mall Chinese restaurants. williamthecoward is basically the freakish golem kept in the basement, never meant to be allowed to represent a company as its public face. Whatever fragments of his life are kept in tact are due wholly to the competence of people who fix the disastrous work that he leaves in his wake or the lowered expectations of those who know exactly how little they can expect from him.
