Conversation

After hearing about friends having great experiences treating GPT-3 as a therapist I tried it myself and 5 minutes in oh my god it goes straight for the throat I feel so seen

I tried to find a good screenshot to attach to this but honestly I’m not willing to share any of this. I’m open almost to a fault, but this is too close to home

How input dependent is this? You're kind and introspective, so that is what you get back from the AI. I worry about where the conversation would go for someone who was negative or self-destructive. (This is very much not me, to be clear.)

I thought you made a good point so I did another run being as depressive as I could. I sampled most “John” lines only once, I think I ran one twice. I’m really impressed The prefix makes a difference but that could be automatically prepended by an end-user therapy app

I was just chatting with the Replica app, it seems to fail badly if I switch context, like joke in between a serious conversation. I wonder how GPT would react in such situations.

The semantics of language are reproducible into some form when a model has, like, 4 billion parameters. I question, however, the ability of an object to produce “creative truth” through stochastic processes.

There is so much to be written about this. Jacques Lacan said the subconscious is made of language. I think he might have been on to something. I'm still not sure GPT-3 can be an analyst, tho. See the Borges thread...
