Im an electrical engineer and sometimes i code as a hobby, it helped me a lot making some mods for games about a year ago. I basically decompiled a ton of code and gave chatGPT about 500 lines at a time, then asked questions and it described the code super well, really useful if you don't have the source code. Also helped with different implementations when i tried to make some functions, it's incredibly good at writting code if you narrow the query properly, i never got a wrong answer in those cases and you can test it easly, wich i did of course. It also really useful asking if your code is right before deploying it, helps you find a bunch of bugs fast. The bad responses were if i asked to write an entire library (.dll files) or similar tasks with a wide scope, wich are a nightmare since you need to verify the entire code.
I'm really curious to use it for some coding. I have some Arduino projects I keep thinking about plus a CNC gantry I want to slap some servos on to make a CNC router.
I think the missing issue is the value judgement. You make a good point to prove this in asking ai for an answer then asking it to defend the opposite position and it will equally and convincingly do both. In between lies the value judgement which ai cannot do and if it does will inherently suffer from bias which we cannot tease out because of the black box scenario. We would have to remove bias from the data which we have been doing the opposite of for the last 40 years.
I think you’re right. It is a missing value judgment or “intuition”. Using statistics to evaluate the likelihood of a “correct” answer removes a qualitative touch that will be difficult to emulate. Biased data is definitely a problem as well. I have no idea how to add neutrality to its decision process to make the best output. It comes back to will it be autonomous or just a tool?
@@themeandrousengineer I am worried the simple attribute of "complexity" will make the average human trust it too much from prior conditioning of expectations based on sci fi entertainment. I already see people just think of it as an answer machine and placing inherent trust.
@@BonsaiBurner Same. The way it’s marketed is very important and there are definitely ethical concerns. It could easily spread disinformation because someone got it from an AI and accepted it as fact.
Thanks for the info. Very good discussion points. Personally, I'm not fearful of AI itself. I'm mostly fearful of people trusting AI too much too soon. I use OpenAI/ChatGPT for help with titles and descriptions for videos. But even then, sometimes I'm just "what the heck are you talking about?"
I second your thoughts. Trusting too much too soon is a valid concern. Ultimately I think it can be a great tool to use for multiple things but it deserves some introspection first.
Prompted by your comment, I just went and tinkered around with Loudly. Some tracks were ok and others weren't that great. Where were you finding some good music? Having played guitar since I was a teenager, I'm going to have to fight some bias on this one too because it goes back to the theft of creativity. I'll be willing to give it a chance. I'm really trying to look at it as a tool instead of something out to rob the joys in life.

Have you heard any AI music? Some of it is actually pretty good.

@@themeandrousengineer It won’t let me post a link. Try looking up Hard Archive here. I suggest the song “My Girl Drives Like Sh.t”.
@@themeandrousengineer Correction, the song is called “ You Drive Like Sh.t”
