Saying 'Please' and 'Thank You' to ChatGPT Costs OpenAI 'Tens of Millions of Dollars'

It is a very interesting article and begs the question of just what its impact will be on societies around the world.

 

All those please and thank you to an IA are useless as telling thanks to the tap or the ignition key.

 

Saying 'Please' and 'Thank You' to ChatGPT Costs OpenAI 'Tens of Millions of Dollars'

It is a very interesting article and begs the question of just what its impact will be on societies around the world.

Maybe it's the next pet rock. People will get tired of it like old slots in the casino. The business model so far seems to be spending money like a fool for a machine to pretend to be nice. This slice of history is one for the record books.

 

Not just Chat GPT but any AI or as @atferrari put it, to any inanimate device. I know I sure as hell don't tell Alexa please and thank you. But the concept that the AI may be "nicer" and more "willing to work" if you do is an intriguing concept. What?!?! AI has "feelings" now???

The extra response cost money, the response could be, "up your nose with a rubber hose". The processing cost for a non canned response is the same. Their processing cost are stupidly expensive.

 

Ah, but... " Being polite to AI may serve a functional purpose. Microsoft design director Kurtis Beavers noted in a Microsoft blog post that "using polite language sets a tone for the response" from AI. In other words, when you're polite to AI, it is likely to respond in kind. "
Hmmm... Just how twisted is this rabbit hole...

 

“Stomp stomp.
Whirr.
Pleased to be of service.
Shut up.
Thank you.
Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp.
Whirr.
Thank you for making a simple door very happy.
Hope your diodes rot.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Stomp stomp stomp stomp.
Whirr.
It is my pleasure to open for you...
Zark off.
...and my satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done.
I said zark off.
Thank you for listening to this message.”

Yes, I try to stay calm and always carry my towel...

The stupid thing is only regenerating the human responses from the trillions and trillions on bytes of human interactions they were created from. If the training dataset was only from S&M and bondage websites, threats of beatings would set the tone for best response and being nice would cause more abuse.

These things understand nothing, have no reasoning, no feelings or desires for anything.

 

true, but when google ai takes over the world, I will be the one who thanked it when it was just a home assistant

and I'll be the one running the AI behind the curtain. Most the hype IMO about AI is designed as a distraction (pretty pictures, nice sounds, and chats with imaginary people who like you) from the fact that the humans that runs the AI Land of OZ, don't want you to see or even think there is a curtain while the cash from investors gets 'spent' making hallucinations regenerated from the original data created by and paid for by, in large part, the public at large.

This a drug that I'm not buying.

 

Wait until the robots begin to take over... when you are looking down a barrel and a Terminator unit on the other end of it.... you would wish there are a few "thank you" and "enjoy your virtual day" from you to the AI in the cyber database

You keep your filthy hands off my Cherry 2000.
The Terminator can have what's left of the guy that touched her

he abandoned cherry in the desert. you gonna do that to yours too?

Yes, if I found something better.


Cherry2000 was happy with it's new friends.

 

HAL9000 was also very polite and had a sweet mellow voice, but he was still a cold blooded murderer.
Or should I say a cold circuit murderer?
A very funny parody;

 

This made me confused too. Earlier I read that chatgpt gives better performance if the user says please and thank you. I followed it. Then came this statement from Sam Altman.

 

Confused?

Two days ago, the freezer, after being cleaned, started to request a Good morning every time I enter the kitchen and Thanks for your service once a month. Go figure.

 

AT;
Don’t pamper that fridge too much.
He’ll be asking for a raise (of voltage) pretty soon.
You don’t comply? He’ll serve you warm beers.

I was walking around Sam's Club last night. They want $2,000 for a new fridge.

$2,000.

My first car was $200. And that was expensive.
