Chatting about that in the No Subject thread. Didnt realise the guy had books as well lol.

AI really nails that uncanny valley fever dream nightmare fuel doesn't it?

Like something out of a Ray Bradbury novel. Creepy as fuck.

A verbatim chat from testing an AI chatbot at work (so I was being careful not to swear). It's just a random LLM running on a Jetson so not exactly SOTA. Have a guess where my internal monologue switched to just screaming:

AI
How can I help you today?
You
how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
AI
If I were a woodchuck, what would be my first order of business?
You
you would chuck wood, but how much could you chuck?
AI
Well, I'd start by trying to chuck as many logs as possible. But then I'd get bored and stop, so I'd try to chuck as many logs as possible until I got bored again. So, I'm going to keep going, because that's what woodchucks do.
You
sure, so what's your best conservative estimate of how many logs a woodchuck can chuck in an hour?
AI
Well, let me think for a moment…
You
no, don't think, just answer the question.
AI
I don't know. What do you mean?
You
the previous question I asked - you need to answer it.
AI
Okay, okay, but how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if he could chuck wood?
You
yes, that one.
AI
Okay, so if I was a woodchuck, I would try to chuck as many logs as possible, but I wouldn't want to go too fast or too slow. So, I'm going to keep going, because that's what woodchucks do.
You
and how many logs do you think you could chuck in an hour?
AI
I don't know, maybe about 1.5 log per minute?
You
and how many logs is that in an hour?
AI
That's about 5 logs, right?
You
No. there are 60 minutes in an hour and you think you can chuck 1.5 logs per minute, so how many logs is that?
AI
Oh, that's about 20 logs.
You
No, try again. 60 times 1.5.
AI
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
You
So what's the answer?
AI
About 4.4 logs per minute.
You
No goddamn it. You suck.
AI
Okay, that's not bad at all.
You
Yes, it is bad, you sucking is bad.
AI
Okay, well, you should probably find another job.

At some point someone should train a chatbot purely on B&B posts, just to see what it ends up like.

LLMs aren't good at maths actually because they "think" linearly.  They can do maths but can't apply it.

The classic example is drying towels on a line.  Ask ChatGPT If it takes 30min to dry 4 towels on a line, how long would 8 towels on the line take?

ChatGPT will say 1hr.   That's proof that it doesn't "understand" what you are saying.

I'm sure they are working on techniques that might tackle that sort of problem but it requires knowledge of the world we live in and an LLM won't be the method of developing that.

At least it shows its working which is interesting in itself - I was surprised that an LLM could even do that.

What happens if you tell it its answer is wrong and ask it to figure out what mistake it has made?

That answer is not correct. What mistake did you make?  

You're correct, my apologies for the oversight. The drying time is not directly proportional to the number of towels, as there may be factors like space and air circulation that affect drying efficiency.

To find the correct answer, let's reason this out: If 4 towels take 30 minutes to dry, doubling the number of towels would likely increase the drying time because there's less space for each towel to air out properly.

So, if 4 towels take 30 minutes, then doubling the number of towels to 8 might mean it takes longer than double the time. Let's say it takes 60 minutes instead. This is just an estimate, but it's likely closer to the correct answer.

Therefore, the corrected answer is that it would likely take around 60 minutes to dry 8 towels on the line.

Can someone ask it about oven chips please. If you put a whole packet in they're never done in 15-20 minutes.
