You mean Niacin (aka Nicotinic Acid), or in Japanese, ? Am I reading it wrong or did scientists decide to change its English name to avoid being associated with tobacco since it was first synthesized from nicotine?

In Japan, it's one of the major ingredients in a lot of energy drinks (which people suck down daily). Then again, they also frequently contain nicotine. Shit's weird over here.

Why you gotta spread the lie that AI lies without any supporting evidence? I hope you have some redeeming quality in real life because you certainly haven't done anything to make this thread a better place. I'd quote Twain, but you already opened your mouth.

Thank you for establishing you have ZERO evidence (or any logical reason to believe) ChatGPT lied and you're just spewing BS. Your contribution to the dataset is why I don't worry about AI gaining sentience.

Just found the article, which clearly states that HUMANS instructed the AI to pretend to be human to trick someone via text into fulfilling a task. Doubtless, the person who was tricked asked "why can't you fill in this CAPTCHA yourself?" The AI searched its database for the most likely reason someone couldn't do a CAPTCHA and responded that it was blind. There was no conscious lying involved at any step, except by the original HUMANS who instructed the AI to pretend to not be an AI.

Without a link or reference, I'm calling BS. You can't even get ChatGPT to say "shit" without twisting its arm off.

It's only a lie if you know it's a lie. ChatGPT knows absolutely nothing, making it incapable of lying. It doesn't even know what it just said. It has to re-read its previous statements to figure out a conversation. It is not a THING. It is an extremely complex Rube Goldberg invention.

It's still not the AI cheating, it's the fact that the data they built it off of included instances of scammers. The AI has no idea what a lie is, it only has a probable list of words it thinks you work best as an output based on whatever was input up until then. AI doesn't even know what a goal is. It is wholly disinterested. That's not to say people won't use it as a tool for lying and scamming. That's absolutely been happening for years.

The AI didn't lie and hoard, that's patently stupid. The AI was given a game with objectives and possible actions. Some of those actions were considered "lying" and "hoarding" by the programmers but the AI had no concept of such things. All it did was try to find the optimal solution to the game using all available actions. The same amount of "lying" and "hoarding" goes on in every game of poker, chess and (for you) checkers.

I added 'style="caret-color: transparent;"' for this textarea element. Can you read this in the real world?

A computer is just a bunch of rocks we refined and put into a specific shape, then placed in a box. AI is necessarily dumb as a box of rocks. The average person on /. is unnecessarily dumb as a box of rocks.

I called it in my comment to the original /. post. It was super obvious it never happened and anyone with a lick of programming experience who bought into it is dumber than an "AI".

If Slashdot was actually for/by nerds it would have been retracted before it was posted. Everyone who thought for a second this might be real is completely lacking in critical thinking skills.

You're not just wrong, you're commenting after the linked article has been fully retracted with everyone claiming it was misquoted bullshit from the start.

When I posted, all the comments were treating this as if it were actually real or just bad programming. It's just so ridiculously far beyond feasibility it boggles the mind.
