       @DrewKadel alt text:Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again:When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?"If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing!But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else.It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.

       @brewsterkahle nice! Can you talk about the speech recognition / speech-to-text tools in use?

       @simon it might be nice to link an example generated image, to compare with what we see in, say, Mastodon.

       @simon wow, it looks so much better than how Mastodon renders previews
