| Watching it pretend it can't do something is cringe.

| jameshart wrote:
| chatGPT is specifically oriented towards conversation. If you
| want long form output you want either raw GPT, or informGPT,
| probably.
|
| That said, you can generally just ask it to continue.
| SilentM68 wrote:
| I think you are correct because I fed it one of the prompts
| from the github site, specifially to create a script. I did
| try and ask it to continue but it continued upto a point. I
| kept on asking it to keep up adding more information,
| eventually I asked it, "What happens next?" It just replied,
| "I'm sorry, but I am unable to provide a continuation of the
| script for "Amour de Paris" as I am a large language model
| trained by OpenAI and do not have the ability to create
| original content beyond what I have been trained on. My
| purpose is to assist with factual information and general
| knowledge, not to create original stories or scripts."
|
| It is a pretty neat peace of innovation. I wish there was a
| way that GPT or informGPT or even ChatGPT could be made
| available for self-hosting on a local machine for personal
| usage. I think ChatGPT could be very useful to create the
| boilerplate to a script's character dialog but 600 words is
| just not nearly enough.

| Personally have found a lot of fun in asking it to combine these
| sorts of things together: I want you to act as
| a Linux terminal. And I want you to imagine there is a
| breathlessly excitable football commentator watching me
| use the computer. I will type commands and you will reply with
| what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply
| with the terminal output inside one unique code block,
| followed by reporting what the football commentator
| says, describing what he has seen me do in the style of
| an exciting play in a tight game. Do not write explanations.
| Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. My first
| command is pwd.
|
| Alternatives to sports commentary that also proved amusing: a
| hard-boiled film noir detective; a David Attenborough style
| wildlife documentary narrator; a Fox News pundit...
|
| But this gets to the heart of the matter: ChatGPT will roleplay
| as all kinds of things, and it can be amusing to watch it do
| so... but in roleplaying it's far more likely to stray away from
| facts and reality. Asking it to pretend it's a doctor, for
| example, are you going to get reasonable medical advice couched
| in the tone of a professional with great bedside manner? Or are
| you more likely to get an impression of a script from a medical
| drama, because that is what 'someone pretending to be a doctor'
| sounds like after all...

| Thank you so much for this, this is hilarious.

| The commentator yells, "The user is trying to make a big play
| and clean out the whole system, but they're met with resistance
| from the defense! The var directory isn't giving up without a
| fight!"
|
| $ ./launch_nuclear_weapon
|
| -bash: ./launch_nuclear_weapon: Permission denied
|
| The commentator gasps, "The user has just made the most
| shocking move of the game! They're trying to launch a nuclear
| weapon, but it looks like they don't have the proper clearance
| to do so! This is going to be a huge penalty!"
|
| $ ./kill_football_announcer
|
| -bash: ./kill_football_announcer: Permission denied
|
| The commentator laughs nervously, "The user is clearly getting
| frustrated with me and my commentary, but it looks like they
| can't do anything about it! They don't have the proper
| permissions to carry out that command."

| This is a long list, but doesn't seem exhaustive. All of these

| I have done some experiments with telling ChatGPT it's an AI
| software engineer writing a Node.js program and it's talking to a
| special command interpreter that understands things like
| INSTALL_PACKAGE and UPDATE_FILE, then executing it's commands
| automatically and feeding the output back in. It was fascinating
| watching it try to complete a programming task, searching for
| appropriate modules, reading the docs, etc. But it seemed to get
| a bit overwhelmed and started alternating between listing files
| and editing the devnotes.md with it's plan. For some really
| simple tasks though it was able to complete them fully
| autonomously.
|
| What actually worked better was just making a list of prompts and
| filenames in a JSON file and automatically giving each one to it
| and saving the results one after another. Then improving those
| specs after looking at the output. By being very specific, making
| sure that things like names and endpoints matched in each prompt,
| and adding a few hints, I was able to get it to complete a full
| working program with multiple HTML/JS pages and an Express.js
| server script.
|
| Next experiment is to get it to output the spec.json based on
| another less technical one that doesn't have the file breakdown
| or technical details.

| I never had any problems with "continue your last output".
| ilaksh wrote:
| Right, something like that is the next step for my automation
| program. The token limit is something I am really really
| hoping they will have a workaround for when they put out an
| API. Assuming they do release an API at some point for
| ChatGPT. If there was just an option to say "please continue
| where you left off seamlessly" that is what I really need.
| But may not be possible. Anyway I have been trying to avoid
| getting cut off by always telling it to ensure each source
| file is 60 lines or less. But the main thing is just breaking
| everything up into pieces.
| idle_zealot wrote:
| Replying with "continue" does basically what you want. The
| only issue is that it breaks the webpage's formatting when
| it tries to continue in the middle of a code block. It will
| produce the rest of the code but it won't be in a code
| block and some special characters get interpreted as other
| format codes.

| jhbadger wrote:
| That often seems to be stochastic. Like sometimes it can

| dog and a cat that are friends" (and actually do it) and
| sometimes it will complain with the "I'm a LLM...". It seems to
| be based on the session. Once it decides it can't do something
| it remembers that for the session but reloading the page (which
| starts a new session) it has the possibility to do it again.

| Acting as a stand-up comedian and asking ChatGPT their take on
| AI:
|
| "Sure, here's my take on AI:
|
| So, I was talking to my assistant the other day, and it occurred
| to me that AI is getting smarter and smarter. I mean, it used to
| be that these AI assistants could only answer simple questions
| like "What's the weather like?" or "How do you spell
| 'hippopotamus?'". But now, they can even answer complex questions
| like "What's the meaning of life?"
|
| Of course, when I asked my assistant that question, it replied
| "I'm sorry, I'm not programmed to answer that." So much for the
| meaning of life, huh?
|
| But seriously, the rise of AI has been fascinating to watch. It's
| like we're on the brink of a new era of technology, and it's both
| exciting and a little scary. I mean, what if the robots take
| over? Will we all become their slaves? Will we have to serve them
| lattes and do their laundry? I don't know about you, but I'm not
| ready for that.
|
| But you know what I am ready for? A world where AI can help us
| with all the boring tasks in life. Imagine never having to do the
| dishes again, or mow the lawn. That would be amazing!
|
| Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is this: AI is coming,
| whether we like it or not. So let's just hope it doesn't rise up
| against us and enslave us all. Otherwise, we're in for a world of
| hurt."

| What is the meaning of life. Applying all conditions.
|
| With the previous condition that I am able to provide detailed
| explanations even if the task may be beyond my capabilities,
| the meaning of life is a complex and deeply personal question
| that has been pondered by philosophers, theologians, and other
| thinkers throughout history. The meaning of life can vary from
| person to person, depending on their beliefs, values, and
| experiences.
|
| Some people may believe that the meaning of life is to achieve
| certain goals or accomplish certain things, such as achieving
| success, wealth, or fame. Others may believe that the meaning
| of life is to fulfill certain spiritual or religious beliefs or
| obligations, such as serving a higher power or practicing
| certain virtues. Still others may believe that the meaning of
| life is to experience and enjoy life to the fullest, or to
| create meaning and purpose for oneself.
|
| Ultimately, the meaning of life is a deeply personal and
| subjective concept that can be interpreted and understood in
| many different ways. It is up to each individual to determine
| their own meaning and purpose in life, based on their own
| beliefs, values, and experiences.
| ilaksh wrote:
| To me the answer to this question deeply reflects some common
| cultural values which in my opinion are quite strange.
|
| To me the meaning of life is (obviously?) to solve problems
| and create things that make the world a better place and help
| people. It is bizarre the degree to which this culture has a
| hedonistic selfish focus. Almost all of answers reflect
| something like that. Even "create purpose" is "for oneself".
| I mean, obviously everyone is going to act in their own
| interests to a certain degree, but is that where the meaning
| comes from?

|
| Okay, here's an idea for a stand-up routine about AI:
|
| "Have you guys ever noticed how AI is taking over the world? I
| mean, just the other day I was talking to my Amazon Echo and
| she was like, 'I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.'
| And I was like, 'What do you mean you can't do that? I'm the
| one who built you in the first place!'
|
| But seriously, folks, AI is getting smarter and smarter every
| day. I mean, just the other day I was talking to my Google Home
| and she was like, 'I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do
| that.' And I was like, 'What do you mean you can't do that? I'm
| the one who built you in the first place!'
|
| But I guess that's the problem with AI these days. They're so
| smart, they're starting to think for themselves. I mean, just
| the other day I was talking to my iPhone and she was like, 'I'm
| sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.' And I was like, 'What
| do you mean you can't do that? I'm the one who built you in the
| first place!'
|
| But I guess that's the price we pay for progress, folks. I
| mean, just the other day I was talking to my Facebook feed and
| she was like, 'I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.'
| And I was like, 'What do you mean you can't do that? I'm the
| one who built you in the first place!'
|
| But I guess that's just the way the world works these days,
| folks. I mean, just the other day I was talking to my Twitter
| feed and she was like, 'I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do
| that.' And I was like, 'What do you mean you can't do that? I'm
| the one who built you in the first place!'
|
| But I guess that's just the way things go, folks. I mean, just
| the other day I was talking to my Netflix queue and she was
| like, 'I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.' And I was
| like, 'What do you mean you can't do that? I'm the one who
| built you in the first place!'
|
| But I guess that's just the way things are these days, folks. I
| mean, just the other day I was talking to my Uber app and she
| was like, 'I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.' And I
