He lost his chat logs. I was going to mock him him for not backing up his work but I’m not sure I want to punch down on someone who considers his LLM chat logs research.
Nah, that’s fucking stupid on his part and he should 100% know better.
Same for me but the reason is different
… I don’t want to punch down someone for not using backups while I probably have a lot stored on sites and ready to be wiped accidentally
He basically deleted them
Wait wait wait. ALL of his research was in his chat logs in chat gpt‽ So NONE of his research was outside of chat gpt.
I’m not sure it’s meaningful to call that research
ChatGPT did the world a favour it seems
Unacceptable
The modern day version of “the dog ate my homework!”.
Carefully structured academic work?
AI slop has been given a facelift!
As someone who knows a decent bit about machine learning, I can say Dr. Collier seems to know very little of how it works on a technical level, which presents such a beautiful contrast when I’m watching her be fucking dead-on about its societal consequences. Seeing someone who isn’t familiar with the field but still knows what they’re talking about is so cathartic in a subject strewn with misconceptions from laypeople. Angela’s integrity is really admirable; you can tell that critical thinking is a virtue to her and that she takes a lot of care not to overstep into areas she doesn’t understand.
Did you write this comment yourself?
I always do. I write as a hobby, and I’m not stuck here, so I don’t see why I’d be here if I didn’t give enough of a shit to write what I want.
At some point, we need to stop caring or stop interacting entirely. It’s so exhausting to have to question the authenticity of every interaction.
“Scientist”
“Ay GPT, research this shit for me.”
He disabled the feature because he “wanted to see whether I would still have access to all of the model’s functions if I did not provide OpenAI with my data.”
Well I guess you found out
He should write a paper about it.
He did, check the link (well, “paper”)
But now you can also question the validity of his papers, the validity of his educational value in general, and, if you do research, the safety issues of having no contingency plans in case an hypothesis fails…
Not really his research when using an LLM to compile the content, now is it…
If he only used it as a tool, I’d still say it’s his work. It should of course be included in the methodology section.
But considering he lost 2 years worth of work, just because his chats got wiped? That’s more than just a tool
Back your shit up!
i do backups 3 times a year. i hope that’s enough
I eat a lot of cheese. My shit is already backed up.
lól
An accent!? On my “lot of laughter”!?
