Am I missing something? The article seems to suggest it works via hidden text characters. Has OpenAI never heard of pasting text into a utf8 notepad before?

    Am I the only one who rewrites most of ChatGPT’s output into my own words because it’s “voice” is garbage anyway? I ask it to write me a cover letter and that gives me a rough outline and some points to make, but I have to do massive editing to avoid redundancy, awkward phrasing, outright lies, etc.

    I can’t imagine turning in raw ChatGPT output. I had one of my developers use Bing AI to write code and submitted that shit raw and it was immediately obvious because some relatively simple code has really weird artifacts like overwriting a value that had no reason to even be touched.

      i use it to make outlines which are usually very good and then I use the class materials to flesh out the outlines in my own words. All my words but ChatGPT told me what to include and in what order.

        Few years ago the output of GPT was complete gibberish and few years before that even producing such gibberish would’ve been impressive.

        It doesn’t take anyone’s job untill it does.

        LLMs aren’t going to take coding jobs, there are specific case AIs being trained for that. They write code that works but does not make sense to human eyes. It’s fucking terrifying but EVERYONE just keeps focusing on the LLMS.

        There are at least 2 more dangerous model types being used right now to influence elections and manipulate online spaces and ALL everyone cares about is their fucking parrot bots…
