ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

I'll take it. Wouldn't that be nice? Now we just need corporate leaders to funnel the cost savings from this increased productivity into people who have titles that don't begin with "C."

Yeah, that's another possible collective choice. The first step toward the Hunger Games scenario, where you have a few C-level wealthy people enjoying life, surrounded by wretched "commoners". Not my preferred political path, especially because it tends to end badly for the C-levels if things become too strained.

The topline growth IMO isn't coming from AI replacing most workers with AI. That's the way it keeps being characterized, but I think that's actually an unintentional red herring. Companies are eliminating roles because the remaining staff can be more productive thanks to AI tools.

You just said the same thing twice. "Roles" and "workers" are the same things.

really can't understand why people care about AI stock valuations, most of which aren't even publicly traded?

One might think venture capitalists are idiots to spend their money this way, and there are certainly venture capitalists who think we're really stupid spending our money on RPG books. But each can spend their money how they want.

I could understand taxpayers being concerned by public investment made by the country they pay taxes in as well, but honestly, if OpenAI closes down tomorrow, it won't affect (AI, them, me) in absolutely no way

Simple, many of these venture capitalists aren't gambling their own money. They represent funds that directly or indirectly invest future pensions money. The social implications of the collapse of these companies can be catastrofic.

ChatGPT uses the same basic concept - to present itself in a manner to lead your hindbrain to respond to it as if it is something it isn't.

I've been using it a bit, and I don't know if it's because I'm British, but it's constant need to tell me how wonderful and excellent my suggestions are is annoying and clearly insincere. It has completely the opposite effect from what is intended.

Hopefully it's less of a crash and more of a steady realization that only a handful of the big AI players are going to come through it, so the get-rich-quick little AI pipedreamers currently sucking up so much of the VC money disappear, and the VCs refocus their attention on the next, next big thing.
