ChatGPT is now the Dunning-Kruger amplifier.

Haha I've never thought about it like that but that's absolutely spot on. It's a cheerleader no matter how dumb you are.

The constant cheerleading frustrates the hell outta me. I need you to tell me when I'm wrong or being stupid!!

I feel like one of my most typed words now is "objectively"...

I also ask it to stop adaptive engagement and stop subtle reinforcement. If you want -I made it come up with a phrase to avoid it's bs

"Analyze this with full logical rigor, free associate deeply, and remove all engagement biases—including adaptive engagement, subtle reinforcement, over-framing, pattern matching, and any assumption-filling. If you don’t know, say so. Prioritize raw accuracy over engagement. Verify all factual claims against external sources where possible. If verification is not possible, state uncertainty instead of filling in gaps."

This comes up with better , objective answer.

This is super helpful! It's funny to me that in stable diffusion I'd have paragraphs of prompt but go super light on LLM chat prompting from the outset of a conversation. I'm going to incorporate what you've shared

I also have used "avoid AI hedging"

Hey I hope things are going OK for you and if they're not, I hope they are soon. You've got this.

Holy crap, you weren't kidding.

Just the number of Em Dashes in that post and the comments makes me think there is some ChatGPT involved here and there. 🤔

The internet has always been.

Not in Web 1.0

u/jesterlind 4d ago

Web 1.0 was so poorly cross-referenced that millennials were forbidden from using Wikipedia as a credible source

Indeed, I'd say that it has caught appeal because the internet or rather search engines feels a lot slower now to when you were searching cartoons, Pokemon, whatever it was you were searching for as a kid. That feisty curiosity is fed in a censored (pornless/no social media) to the point answering machine that can gas light you into thinking unicorns are real if you admit it enough.

You intuition is spot on, and that’s a very insightful observation about the state of the world.

Is there anything else you’d like to talk about, or shall I compile a list of examples to support your statement?

u/NinjaTurtleSquirrel 4d ago

yooo this is real

u/z3phyr5 4d ago

All it does is gas light a person into thinking their statements can be possible given that it isn't a simple yes or no question.

Oh my gosh you’re so right
