YouTuber Tricks ChatGPT Into Generating Windows 95 Keys

• I have to say, I’m getting a bit tired of this never-ending sensationalist large language model coverage. Considering the strict parameters of the request, it was the YouTuber who “generated” the keys. What ChatGPT did was practically calculator-like services, getting a sum of a few digits and generating a random number as asked. And so what if he did it? That’s what these models do. Generate stuff. Please try focusing on more impressive and society changing effects of this (relatively) new technology than covering some silly stunts like this.

• There are lots of fascinating news on AI/ChatGPT, but realistically it’s out of scope for THW coverage, which is predicated on PC HW. Tom’s Guide has a larger staff with more diverse coverage, but again AI isn’t their cup of tea.

  What is relevant and interesting is getting one of these LLM models to run on a PC, which is/was what Jarred was doing. I’d be interested in seeing him tackling Stanford’s Alpaca, or perhaps ColossalChat, the latter of which is the best current open-source alternative to ChatGPT.

• meh, it’s funny, i do find its interesting how it boldly gaslights people; I suspect, because it’s programed not to provide keys, it never bothered to look up the method to create a win95 key, and therefor didn’t understand when he said “thanks for the windows95 keys”; prompting it’s immediate “I didn’t” response.

  Had he proceeded to explain to chatgpt the method for making a win95 key it might have understood.

  personally i think the funniest chatbot out there is Neuro-sama, there are some incredible clips of that chatbot. My favorite was when the maker of Neuro-sama was having her help him create code and she was just mocking the heck out of him. some really funny stuff.

• Yea I want to see an “openchatgpt” for being a company called openai they sure are quite restrictive.

• Italy just banned ChatGPT today because it is devulging private information, amounts to plagiarism and does not abide by GDPR.

  Good on Italy, hopefully more countries follow soon.

  I am sick of tech companies thinking they can just copy and paste anything they please. Just because you found it online doesn’t mean it is your data to use and make money from. What is wrong with these arrogant companies like Microsoft and Google.

  There are open-source efforts underway, see links to ColossalChat above. Anything named “OpenChatGPT” would be a trademark infringement.

  Italy just banned ChatGPT because it is devulging private information, amounts to plagiarism and does not abide by GDPR.

  Even if it were doable, banning or “pausing” ChatGPT would not matter one whit. The underlying tech is known and is widespread. Assuming if OpenAI were to disappear, the generative-AI frenzy will still plow ahead full force.

  The only scenario that might work is for there to be a worldwide moratorium on AI development, not just by any one country, or for any one company. Yeah, right. We might as well ask for world peace while we’re at it.

  The underlying tech requires massive servers. Any company using it to collect private data of Italian citizens will run into Italian law enforcement.

  More countries will follow and unless Microsoft and Google want to get blocked by half the planet, they will be forced to take down these AI tools.

  Many people saw this coming. You can’t just collect mass amounts of private data and make money from that private data without any approval from the citizens you collect this data from. That is a direct violation of every privacy law.

  And it will not just be about private data. If ChatGPT is collecting Windows account keys, it is collecting private banking data too.

  The AI party is over.

  Meta’s LLaMa models have been installed/run on PCs, and current open-source efforts are based on it (eg Alpaca and ColossalChat). The model is already pre-trained, and Colossal has scripts for fine-tuning–a step beyond Alpaca–which can be done on a PC. Developments are happening fast. It’s not just about ChatGPT/Bard any more.

  Check the above ColossalChat for some indication of its potential. It’s not GPT-4 level, but I was surprised with its breadth (not depth) of responses.

• AI have bad and good.

  for me, i imagining its wildly open and it will be source of creativity that we will advance more in terms of technology. but the sad thing is it will blocked by ethics, IP, ownership, privacy, other law infringement.

  But imagine that if it doesnt have limit, and human who using it also beyond any law limit.
  maybe we can design more efficient food, engine, cooler, anything in very fast way by using all information already existed.

  even we can reduce traffic, employment, or make a steady new economics or else all unimaginable thinks for now.
