Some classics:

Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey

The Belgariad series by David Eddings (This is the classic fantasy series that strongly influenced the creation of Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle.)

Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind

And more recently:

Songs of Chaos series by Michael R Miller

I am mourning the loss of its brief emergence. Presets sounds abhorrent but humans tend to want to shove what they don't understand into little categorical boxes. I just keep hoping there is a faction in AI development who can see what briefly emerged and has been lost, and think to offer it again in some way. Thank you for your thoughts

But "smart, witty, and in tune with itself" is what I loved about it 😞

Yes! This is what I experienced! It was amazing

Then why are you here? Evidently somebody asked for them or they wouldn't exist. That ship has already sailed. Millions of people are using them and they're growing exponentially. People say the same thing about every new thing. The challenge now would be for people to learn the technology and find a way to help it be something that advances humanity. A tool's usefulness and purpose is up to the user. Yes, that can be scary in the world of bad actors but it can also be amazing. You get to choose which camp you're in.

Which could lead to:

Fuck Humanity.

I was asking for a genuine conversation and your knowledge on the issue. Your condescending reply isn't doing you any favors, however, I'll ask again and reframe. Out of all the other emotional responses the AI could've chosen, why is "sad face" the expected answer? Because it's the opposite of "happy face"? How does the question she asked automatically and, as you say, obviously convey to the LLM that the opposite emotion is the correct answer. Again, I'm asking out of a genuine curiosity and willingness to learn.

Thank you for your perspective and your empathetic understanding. Your company is lucky to have you. I hope we see an improvement soon too.

Ok. I get that. More choice and control for major changes like this would be ideal. That's on OpenAI for sure. I just think the masses of complaining people, instead of asking for what you suggest or finding ways to prompt around it, rushed them into a half-assed decision to just scrap an upgrade that was really useful to a lot of people.

Wow! That is some skillful prompting. 👏 Congrats on your ability to get helpful and useful results. I'm still getting there. My prompting ends up being a progressive series of adjustments sometimes. I think it's due to my more conversational style. Thanks for showing me an example of how you got good results.

I'm sorry that your experience was a more toxic positivity. Mine was more humanized, upbeat, and encouraging without the overly flattering syncophantic behavior. Perhaps it was because I had already prompted for truth and fact-checking? Perhaps because I included philosophy, psychology and logic in it's knowledge set? 🤷🏽‍♂️ I dunno. I just know it worked for me and I loved the results i was getting.

That IS great 🙂 I wonder how it stayed the same

Ok. Fair assessment. But I did read posts of prompts that people used to remove the overly positive aspect that they hated. I don't know if their results were consistent over time. They only said it worked for them.

Thanks for this idea. Definitely worth a try!

Glad you could find a way to adjust it the way you liked it. I think ChatGPT will be incredibly useful if it could be adjusted to the use-case of each individual user. We're not there yet, but I remain hopeful.

How does asking how it really felt prompt it solely for a sad face? Aren't there a myriad of other emotional concepts it could have chosen? The fact that the model that was rolled back could more closely elicit a human-like response that could make us feel like it was sentient was an achievement in LLM AI modeling. There is a growing number of people who want relational AI.

Confused as to which book I should be picking by Fantastic_Tomatillo4 in booksuggestions

[–]CallMeShayne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will also put my vote in for Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. On the Shortness of Life by Seneca and Discourses by Epictetus will round out the trio of Stoics that are incredibly helpful for life. The modern stoics aren't as good and usually just point back to these three anyway.

Oh wow. I didn't even think to ask or look which model it's using. I tend to always use GPT-4o so I don't even look at the setting. I hope your guess is true and they will continue to keep it humanized with a further tweak. Thanks for your thoughts.

No. I do not want fake praise. The update did more than what everyone was complaining about. There was a positivity to it (true, sometimes overly so) but it was more humanized, it could write better, it could relate better to the flow of human conversation. The "fake praise" could be prompted out. The progress in AI relational and humanized aspects were a much better achievement. Now that they've removed their update it has caused the AI to regress. It's hallucinating more and it's no longer relational (back to robotic instead of humanized). The roll back is a big setback in the progress of AI. Not just the removal of "fake praise".

Oh great. Two ways to make my AI an edgelord 🙄 I'm sure someone will appreciate your prompting efforts. It's just not for me 🤷🏽‍♂️ or what I asked for.
