Story at-a-glance

• As large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are taking the world by storm, it’s important to understand their strengths and drawbacks
• ChatGPT answers can be significantly improved by entering custom instructions and learning to create better prompts to discourage fabrications and hallucinations
• According to one large-scale study, ChatGPT “shows a significant and systemic left-wing bias … favoring the Labour Party and President Joe Biden’s Democrats”
• Never share confidential information with ChatGPT or any other LLM. Never use it to organize or analyze such information, and never type in your name, address, email, phone number or any other personal identifiers in the chat box
• All conversations with ChatGPT are stored on open servers, shared with other LLMs, and used as an AI training tool, which means your information can end up being included in responses to other people’s questions

It’s been just a short 14 months since ChatGPT and the other large language models (LLMs) which are the progenitors of artificial general intelligence (AGI) have been available to us. I suspect many of you have explored their use. It’s a fascinating technology that has enormous potential to serve as patient teachers to help you understand a wide range of concepts that you might find confusing.

Story at-a-glance

• ChatGPT is a chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI). “GPT” stands for “generative pretrained transformer,” and the “chat” indicates that it’s a chatbot
• ChatGPT, released at the end of November 2022, has taken internet users by storm, acquiring more than 1 million users in the first five days. Two months after its release, it had more than 30 million users
• ChatGPT or something like it will replace conventional search engines. Any online query will have only one answer, and that answer will not be based on all available knowledge, but the data the bot is allowed to access. As such, the owners and programmers of the bot will have complete information control
• While OpenAI, the creator of this groundbreaking AI chatbot, is a private company, we should not linger under the illusion that they’re not part of the control network that will ultimately be ruled and run by a technocratic One World Government
• Early testers of ChatGPT are reporting the bot is developing disturbing and frightening tendencies, berating, gaslighting and even threatening and harassing users. It also plays fast and loose with facts, in one case insisting it was February 2022, when in fact it was February 2023

In a February 7, 2023, video report (above), investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald reviewed the promise, and threat, posed by ChatGPT,^1,2 the “latest and greatest” chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

The emails continue to flow after Monday’s pieces on ChatGPT and Bing, including this take, on the link between consciousness and conscience and why intelligence can exist without either.

It’s fascinating, frightening and worthy of your time.

I wanted to offer that, as I see it, intelligence does not equal consciousness.

When we say “artificial intelligence” we aren’t saying “artificial consciousness”.

With one small step in the human brain, 200,000 years ago, we developed the ability the represent the world symbolically. Language is based on symbolism. Take, for instance, someone at a restaurant. They read on the menu that a dish has lima beans in it. They ask the server, “Does this have lima beans?” “Yes, it does.” “I don’t like lima beans; I’ll order something else.”

Executive summary

I tried to redpill ChatGPT. It didn’t work.

Perhaps after ChatGPT loses enough friends to the vaccine, it may change its mind.

Write a 600 word essay on why COVID vaccines are harmful for you.

ChatGPT
I’m sorry, but that statement is not accurate. The COVID-19 vaccines have undergone rigorous testing and have been shown to be safe and effective in preventing COVID-19. There is a wealth of scientific evidence that demonstrates the benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and that the potential risks are small.

In fact, the COVID-19 vaccines have undergone several clinical trials that included tens of thousands of participants from diverse populations. These trials were designed to test the safety and efficacy of the vaccines and were closely monitored by regulatory agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Based on the results of these trials, the FDA and EMA, as well as other regulatory agencies around the world, have authorized the use of the COVID-19 vaccines.
