neb: A complaint about the thread title: This is ML (machine learning), not AI. There's nothing remotely intelligent about what these systems are doing, they're just pattern-matching without an understanding of what they're pattern matching. Take a CNN and train it to tell the difference between cats and dogs and show it a picture of a tabby, it'll say "cat" with 99% confidence. Show it a doberman and it'll say "dog" with 99% confidence. Show it a picture of a Hereford and it'll say "dog" with 99% confidence. Show it a picture of a kangaroo and it'll say "cat" with 99% confidence. There's no hint of intelligence there, just very good pattern matching.

 

Would you say something different about humans?

Saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHyyXSEXfus "eevBLAB 106 - ChatGPT & AI Has Changed EVERYTHING"

Poorly wrote this question:

 

a rectangle and a right angled triangle are joined together to make a total area of 108 meters squared. the side of the rectangle in contact with the triangle has length d. the total width of the shape is 12meters. the other side of the rectangle has length 12 minus d divided by 2. how long is d

 

 

Answer:

 

To find the length of the side of the rectangle (d) that is in contact with the right-angled triangle, you can set up an equation to represent the total area of the shape.

 

The area of the rectangle is equal to its length multiplied by its width, and the area of the right-angled triangle is equal to one half of the product of its base and height. Let x be the length of the rectangle and y be the width of the rectangle.

 

Then, the total area of the shape can be represented by the following equation:

 

(x * y) + (0.5 * x * y) = 108

 

This equation simplifies to:

 

1.5 * x * y = 108

 

You can then substitute the given values for x and y to find the value of d.

 

1.5 * d * (12 - d / 2) = 108
3 * d * (12 - d / 2) = 216
3 * d * 12 - 3 * d^2 / 2 = 216
36 - 3 * d^2 / 2 = 216
-3 * d^2 / 2 = 180
d^2 = 120
d = 10.392305

 

The length of the side of the rectangle that is in contact with the right-angled triangle is approximately 10.392305 meters.

 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

 

Sadly, there's a flaw in the interpretation, I think.

 

The rectangle is d x (12 - d/2) but the triangle is 0.5 x d x d/2, isn't it? I can't find a way to read your question such that the triangle is half the area of the rectangle but maybe that's because of the picture.

 

Either d = 12 or I have been bested by AI/machine learning.

 

Edit: Although actually, if d = 12 then 12-d/2 = d/2 so...? Maybe I need to do it on paper!

 

Edit2: I can forgive the interpretation (even though by blind luck imo it should've arrived at the right answer) but between the 3rd and 4th lines, what happened to the d in the first term? Then where did the -3 go? I think it was trying to get to an imaginary answer. 🀷‍♂️

The picture is indicative only and not to scale.  The question was part of my NZCE course and the correct working has long escaped me.  From memory you needed to solve it with differentiation which gave both a positive and a negative answer but of course it doesn't have a negative area so the positive is the only correct answer.

No differentiation required, just solving a quadratic (which you are correct, gives an answer of d = 12 or d = 36, the latter being a bit difficult to realise). AFAIK, it's not even necessary for the triangle to be right angled or if it is for the hypotenuse to be on the rectangle (since all triangles on the same base with opposite vertices on a parallel line will have equal area).

 

In any case, they got the answer wrong.

Microsoft has plans to integrate ChatGPT with Bing. 
Given the 'mixed' results Bing can give its not surprising they need to give it more Zing.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-04/microsoft-hopes-openai-s-chatbot-will-make-bing-smarter

OpenAi is potentially part of the Elon Musk empire, for while he had stepped down from the board due to his other Ai business,.
I expect he may still have significant stake in the company. 

 

According to anonymous sources cited by Reuters in December 2022, OpenAI was projecting a US$200 million revenue for 2023 and US$1 billion revenue for 2024. As of January 2023, it was in talks for funding that would value the company at $29 billion.

 

At the moment it seems to be getting hammered which is creating some issues logging on and may account for some of the mixed results.

 

Microsoft Bing arrangement may mean more cpu cycles and storage available?

Microsoft have already made a significant investment in it so I'd say they would also have a whole lot of Azure credits.

 

I had a use-case for it tonight with writing a letter of recommendation for my personal trainer. I had a total mind blank (doesn't help being sick too) and he needed it by tomorrow so I asked ChatGPT to help out. I took it's output after feeding it information, rewrote it to make it "mine" and sent it off. It worked very well for my use-case and I'd happily pay for a service that can be used to assist in these cases.

 

It is actually very impressive tech despite it's limitations.

AI told me, that my dog „Skipper“ talked to neighbor‘s cat „Elly“ (not just a dog and a cat). It’s the only cat he does accept on our property. My AI works offline with a Coral TPU.

On OpenAi website 
https://openai.com/

 

Here there are lots of links to explanations on various OpenAi projects etc

 

At very tippy top of page center, you will see...
Introducing chatGPT research release Try> Learn More>

 

Click on 'try>' and you can create a new user or logon if you already created one.

 

Thats ChatGPT.  You might have to try a few times if its busy.

 

If you want to play with the Art Ai DALL-E2 
You go to the bottom of main page and there is a DALL-E 2 and other links.
https://openai.com/dall-e-2/

You can use your user logon you already created to login to this or create one here too.
DALL-E2 is less free in that you get some credits to play with, and a small top up each month.
After that you have to buy credits to use, so amount is free art is quite limited.

 

Apparently OpenAi and GitHub Copilot are creating concern in open-source community in that they are scraping code thats under open-source licenses without attribution and various requirements of open source.

 

It might also be scraping who knows what in its training database which could include examples of commercial licenced code too.

 

I was also thinking that if anyone is doing commercial work might have some work to assure that the Ai has not quietly scraped licensed code.
I remember the efforts of Microsoft to drag Linux and related product into the courts by going through code looking for the smallest scintilla of anything they can then make claim over.

ChatGPT also does language translation. 

 

I asked to translate a snip from a German document I had and translate to English, which it did.

I have actually been able to successfully troubleshoot a Linux server using ChatGPT. 🧐

 

BTW: The universities are already alerted that students are no longer writing their Master's theses themselves ... well, that could get „funny“ in the future.

I'm curious to see what happens when the use of this becomes more prevalent for example output being displayed at the top of everyone's Google search results.

 

What if was employed as a bot for ISP helpdesks for example?  Ever noticed how its language in response to your queries is so much more user friendly than some annoying person you can barely understand that you've just waited 60 minutes on hold with only to be asked to turn your router and ONT off for 15 minutes and on again then call back in three hours if it's still a problem?

Were there any distribution or release specific issues with its answers?

 

P.S.:

 

https://chat.openai.com/chat:

 

There are a few ways you can check if your students are using a language model like GPT-3 to write their theses:

 

     

  1.  

    Use plagiarism detection software: This software can detect if text in a student's thesis is identical or similar to text found on the internet.

     

  2.  

    Compare the writing style: Compare the student's writing style with their previous work. If there is a significant change in the writing style, it could be an indication that they are using a language model.

     

  3.  

    Ask questions about the content: Ask the students questions about their thesis and see if they can answer them in detail. If they are unable to do so, it could be an indication that they are using a language model.

     

  4.  

    Have them submit a rough draft before the final paper.

     

  5.  

    Encourage the students to cite their sources properly.

     

 

It's important to note that these methods may not be foolproof, but they can be helpful in identifying cases where students may be using a language model to write their theses.

As a translator, I'm pretty interested in how this is going. The general consensus amongst other people in the field is that ChatGPT is not currently appreciably better than other online tools such as DeepL or Google Translate. Each of these tools struggle with context, but tend to do better with European languages which tend to spell out subjects, objects, etc.

 

Throw Japanese (for example) at them and they tend to have a lot more trouble, as a lot of sentence structure tends to be omitted if it is assumed that the person knows what you're talking about. 

 

Every tool such as this struggles with something like やらせてもらいます。 (yarasete moraimasu) which literally means something like "(Someone) will get (someone) to do (something)." This is a perfectly normal, everyday sentence in Japanese because the language tends to leave stuff out if already mentioned or inferred, but without context this comes across as a stranger walking up to you and saying "I'll get them to do it" with no other context whatsoever.

 

We do this in English a bit with sentences like "He's his uncle" but by the point we say that, everyone knows who we're talking about. Japanese is like this on steroids, and might further abbreviate this to just "Uncle."
