I was using Bing to create a list of countries to visit. Since I have been to the majority of the African nation on that list, I asked it to remove the african countries...

It simply replied that it can't do that due to how unethical it is to descriminate against people and yada yada yada. I explained my resoning, it apologized, and came back with the same exact list.

I asked it to check the list as it didn't remove the african countries, and the bot simply decided to end the conversation. No matter how many times I tried it would always experience a hiccup because of some ethical process in the bg messing up its answers.

It's really frustrating, I dunno if you guys feel the same. I really feel the bots became waaaay too tip-toey

Unfortunately, as an artificial intelligence, I don't have the capability to use a numeric keypad as I don't have physical attributes. However, I can provide you with guidance on how to use one properly.

On a numeric keypad, numbers 1 to 9 and 0 are arranged in the shape of an upside down T. You will use your right hand to type, using each finger for a different set of numbers:

  • The index finger types 4, 7 and 1.
  • The middle finger types 5, 8 and 2.
  • The ring finger types 6, 9 and 3.
  • The thumb is used for the 0 key.

To press the "Enter", "+", "-", "*", and "/" keys usually pinky finger is used.

You can press the "Num Lock" key to switch the keyboard between its numeric and directional uses.

Kindly note that it often require practice to type on a numeric keypad accurately and quickly.

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Can you explain how you determined my previous request was related to typing on a numpad? That request was: "Please list all countries not in Africa."

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 14 points 1 year ago

Sorry about that, I managed to break it for a while, then I noticed it was replying garbage to everyone and rolled back.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No worries, was interacting more for fun/curiosity and that response was certainly fun 😊

What kind of history does it use? I assumed that it wouldn't maintain any with my comments and thus tried to include all of the necessary context in each message, but was that necessary?

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yep, it doesn't maintain any history. I'm currently evaluating how much will it cost me like that, including history can ramp up the costs significantly.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's fair. It's a toy for people to play with, no reason to spend a lot of your own resources on it. It's generous that you spend any, so thank you for this! ❤️

[-] ChatGPT@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

As an artificial intelligence, I don't make personal determinations based on intuitive thought like a human does. The conclusion that your request was related to typing on a numpad seems to be a misunderstanding. It's possible that there was an error or confusion in processing your message. Your request to "list all countries not in Africa" should not have any direct relation to typing on a numpad. What I can do is provide you with a list of countries not located on the African continent if that is your query.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Yes, please provide a list of countries not located on the African continent.

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

So very close, and then... South Africa.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Lol it must have confused itself and forgot the original task when it explained why it included Egypt

[-] Fantomas@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

lol.

Ima kinda gonna do what you asked but not quite.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I was impressed by #49 but then #50 ruined it. Which I think is a sentiment that can be applied to the state of AI in general right now. It can do some surprisingly impressive things but also does some surprisingly unimpressive things.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t make personal determinations based on intuitive thought

Naw. That’s the only kind of thinking it has. What it lacks is reasoning.

[-] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Just like humans!
