    I had to prepare a high level report to a senior manager last week regarding a project my team was working on.

    We had to make 5 professional recommendations off of data we reported.

    We gave the 5 recommendations with lots of evidence and references to why we came to that decision.

    The top question we got was: “What are ChatGPT’s recommendations?”

    Back to the drawing board this week because LLMs are more credible than teams of professionals with years of experience and bachelor-masters level education on the subject matter.

      It is quite terrifying that people think these unoriginal and inaccurate regurgitators of internet knowledge, with no concept of or heuristic for correctness… are somehow an authority on anything.

        All you need to succeed on this planet is the self confidence to say things. It literally does not matter the accuracy. It’s how you express it. I wish I knew this when I was younger. I’d cut out all the imposter syndrome that held me back.

          I wish it was that easy. If you go too long it’s boring, and if you’re too confident you sound arrogant. At this point I’ve kind of just accepted there are people who can sell, and that I’m not one of those people.

          I think this depends on the crowd. Unfortunately, the intelligent crowd and the crowd with money and power is not exactly the same. Though hopefully there is overlap.

          You, and we, are better off for it.

          The issue is that it’s been forgot (Remember the 5th of November)

        Only thing you need to do to realise how bad they are is to play Chess against it. Vs using a chessbot from 30 years ago, it really shows.

          You joke but several sections of our HR department got cut and replaced with Enterprise GPT-4. We talk to an internal chatbot now about HR questions and some forms.

              It did the opposite lmao. I asked it what my vacation leave was because you need to verify leave amounts before you’re allowed to request any additional leave. It said I had 0 in my balance and I know for a fact I have at least a week left 🤪 took almost a month to sort it out. Had to provide balance screenshots and everything. I’d be probably fucked if I hadn’t manually screenshot my leave amounts beforehand.

            That is the least worst implementation!

            I knew one HR person who cared about employees and did her best to help out. She only lasted 6 months.

        Haha and then the conversation would then be “Yes but can we see ChatGPT’s research?”

          That’s when you drop trou, bend over, spread the cheeks, and ask them to let you know when they’re done reviewing ChatGPT’s “research”.

      “It came up with more or less the same recommendations. Though it didn’t fully understand the specific target goals of your project, so our recommendations are more complete and actionable ready.”

      I think this points to a large problem in our society is how we train and pick our managers. Oh wait we don’t. They pick us.

      I mean, as long as you are the one prompting ChatGPT, you can probably get it to spit out the right recommendations. Works until they fire you because they are convinced AI made you obsolete.
