OpenAI now lets you call ChatGPT on your phone

OpenAI is making strides toward transforming ChatGPT into an “everything app” by enabling users to make phone calls to it and message it on WhatsApp. Starting today, users can call ChatGPT or send it messages on WhatsApp. By adding the number 1-800-ChatGPT to your contacts, you can initiate a phone call or chat with it directly. During a live demo, OpenAI demonstrated how users on a road trip…

I’m sorry you’re having to read so many computer generated essays - is it hard to grade them, I’m not even sure how you’d go about grading an essay you just know was mostly AI generated

At this point, there's not much to do besides grade them as-is, according to the rubric (did they address the prompt? Did they use relevant examples from class? Is the paper formatted in paragraphs and free of obvious errors?) and then add a comment that goes "Wow! Your writing style changed a lot between the rough draft and the final! I hope that this project and this process of revision was informative and insightful for you.  I like assignments like this because we don't assign papers just because we want to read a paper - the goal is for you to get this practice articulating and refining your thoughts and your arguments, to be able to express what YOU think and what YOU have come to understand about the topic.  I hope this process of first draft and revisions was useful and insightful for this, and that you continue to get these opportunities to hone your thoughts."

I hope that if they did the work it reads as sympathetic - I know you don't like this, but it's for a reason, I promise. And if they didn't, I hope they feel a little bit guilty.

not to bring tiktok drama on tumblr but like every time a ‘scandal’ comes out with one of these ‘production companies’ that make fan films i always hope we’re finally gonna discuss how they professionalize something that should be an hobbyist endeavor… and yet every single time i’m disappointed.

ran into my first student using chatgpt and honestly i was gonna be mad until i thought harder about Why he was using chatgpt and i was like well. that part of the assignment was kind of useless bullshit anyway so yk what that’s on me. consider it gone.

I wanna talk briefly about the AI debate because some of the takes I've seen are very much pissing me off, especially since most of those takes aren't helpful at all (and some are just straight up bullying). I already posted about this on my other blog (post in question has since been deleted since it was kinda harsh and ngl very dismissive of very valid concerns!), but the biggest issue I have with the Anti-AI crowd (And, to be honest, the AI debate in general) is that it feels like they're getting mad at the wrong things. No, AI itself is not the problem. No, someone calling themself an "AI artist" is not the problem. No, using AI for fun is not the problem. No, partaking in some AI trend is not the problem. No, someone simply generating AI images is not the problem. The actual problem is: -People feeding other people's art into AI generators and then claiming it as their own (Scraping basically) -People putting other people's writing into AI chatbots/AI text generators (ex. ChatGPT) to "finish" the fic (Again, scraping). -People using AI to make eerily realistic Not SFW deepfakes of either people they know or celebrities. -Corporations and companies screwing over artists, musicians and actors in favor of AI (such as replacing them). -People using AI to make racist/queerphobic/misogynistic/ otherwise bigoted stuff (Something that I've also been seeing unfortunately) -People not being honest about using AI (Transparency, people!) -People using AI to mimic other people's voices without those people's consent (not sure how to word this but i'm sure some of you know what I mean). -The fact that there's almost no regulations when it comes to AI. AI gets a lot of criticism, and it should! Until it becomes more ethical and there's regulations imposed, we should still be skeptical of it. However, I feel like we've gone very off track when it comes to criticizing AI. Personally, I don't think someone posting an AI-generated image of an elf with wings surrounded by mushrooms and rainbows makes them a thief by itself.. But if they made that image using someone else's art, then in that case yes they are a thief! And no, someone partaking in the Pixar AI trend is probably not going to cost you your job. You know what will cost you your job though? Companies favoring AI over actual living beings. So maybe instead of getting mad at someone using Character.AI or posting an AI-generated gothic phoenix, how about we get mad at corporations screwing artists/actors/musicians over and the people using AI with genuine malicious intent?

Why is writing emails something so sacred a robot cant do it for us. Are we being serious here

[screambirdscreaming]

I remember when 3D printers first became a thing and there was a huuuge hype about how you could 3D print anything and it would revolutionize everything

And then there was a phase of fussing around realizing that there are actually some unintuitive constraints on what shapes are printable based on slicing and support of overhangs, and how you have to do fiddly business like putting tape on the platform and watching the first couple layers like a hawk or it can detach and slump sideways and become a big horrible useless mess

And then, after all that, people kinda came around to realize that even if you get all that sorted, the object you've made is fundamentally an object made of moderately-well-adhered layers of brittle plastic, which is actually a pretty shitty material for almost every purpose.

And aside from a few particular use cases the whole hype just sort of dropped off to nothing.

Anyway I feel like we're seeing pretty much the same arc play out with generative AI.

[lesbianlenas]

was in my legal ethics class today & my professor was talking abt ethical issues w generative ai and was basically saying that we should not use it bc if there is anything incorrect in a brief that is being filed we are responsible for that and can’t blame it on ai and it is a competency issue etc. while she was saying this the person sitting in front of me was quite literally using chatgpt to write case summaries for her 😭 i was like…..maybe now is a bad time girl…….

[starswallowingsea]

I still cannot get over people using ChatGPT as a search engine. Its a text generator not a search engine why would you think you can use it like one? Quite literally Google is right there and at the very least your most basic questions can be answered with a quick google search, and academics and professionals should absolutely know better than to use ChatGPT to find what they need in other archives. ChatGPT is not and has never been a search engine

[mel-tokio]

there are many, many legitimate problems with generative ai, but if your main grievance with it is that it's making people "lazy" and/or ruining the sacred art of the corporate email, i'm going to have a very hard time taking anything you have to say seriously

[thekimspoblog]

Sure an increasing number of career fields require people to send tens of emails a day. Including to just navigate society.

Sure a lot of people suffer with executive dysfunction and/or just aren't very good at writing.

Sure the moral panic is stretching the definition of "plagiarism" to its absolute limit.

BUT IF YOU USE THE TOOL THAT MAKES NAVIGATING MODERN SOCIETY SUBSTANTIALLY LESS DAUNTING YOU SHOULD GO TO HELL!

[opisasodomite]

The research librarians are giving a presentation on how we might use generative AI at work and one thing they suggested was “grant writing” and honestly, if you use ChatGPT to write a grant application I don’t think you deserve that money tbh

[trackerkitsune]

"chatgpt helped me write this!"

"beta read by chatgpt"

"translated by chatgpt"

Are you fucks *insane*

Chatgpt makes shit up on the fly and will fuck with your words no end

It does not know the proper grammar to translate into other languages and will bullshit you harder than a billionaire

STOP THAT

AU where twilight is doing a biochem degree but her Tutor Celestia forces her to do a module on Sociology to learn what societal ethics are

[ahalliance]

i need my fellow uni peers to never stop using chatgpt to summarise their articles instead of actually reading them because i cherish the deep, petty satisfaction of watching the thing churn up summaries with completely incorrect and irrelevant information far too much
