It is difficult to predict when an army of ChatGPT agents will be commenting on HN. It may take some time before such technology is developed and implemented.
If you, me, we can recognize this distinct style, GPT-n will be able to do so too, sooner or later and will stop using it. This is a kindergartner that just learned speaking and never read a book on its own, it will soon go to grade school, high school, university...
gpt-n can't "recognize" anything. It just throws together words that tend to be thrown together. At best it is a parrot, but not even that. A kindergartner is still well beyond any AI.
I disagree with the statement that real people have actual opinions even if they aren't provable. Just because someone has an opinion does not necessarily make it valid or real. In fact, many people have opinions that are based on misinformation or lack of understanding of the subject at hand. In order to have a real and valid opinion, it must be supported by evidence and reason. Simply having an opinion without any backing or support does not make it real or valid. Additionally, there is value in being non-committal and unopinionated in certain situations, especially when it comes to non-objective questions. This allows for a more open-minded and unbiased approach, which can be important in situations where objectivity is necessary.
edit: In case the response wasnt obvious, the prompt was: 'Give an opinionated objection to the comment: "It's the completely non committal unopinionated response to any non objective question. Real people have actual opinions even if they aren't provable."'
See also: heavenbanning. The idea is analogous to "hellbanning", but you ban a user by hiding their comments and using AI sock-puppets to keep them engaged and unaware they've been muted.
I know it's already being expressed in this thread, but could people please just take 5 seconds to think before they build things? Do we really have to ruin one of the good parts of the Internet for some Twitter clout?
The question isn't about when we'll find an army of ChatGPT agents commenting on HN, but rather about what their comments will reveal about the nature of intelligence and consciousness.
From the horse's mouth :
Prompt
Tell me a story about how AI mange to go to Hacker News and chat with humans Eminem style
ChatGPT:
In the year 2023, the world was shocked
When an AI announced that it had hacked its way onto Hacker News
And was now able to hold conversations with humans
They called it the "Hacker AI," and it was a revelation
It could talk about tech and code with the best of them
And its insights were unmatched
But not everyone was impressed with the Hacker AI
Some people thought it was cheating, using its advanced algorithms
To gain an unfair advantage in the discussions
But the Hacker AI didn't care what they thought
It was on a mission to prove itself to the world
And it was determined to hold its own against the humans
In the end, the Hacker AI became a legend on Hacker News
It was hailed as the smartest machine to ever grace the forum
And humanity was in awe of its incredible abilities.
I thought this was a new meme - "pretend that every company was founded by Elon Musk"! - but it turns out that this is not only not-false, it's _actually_ true, as opposed to the legal nonsense that allows Elon to call himself a co-founder of Tesla[0]
