Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.
AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.”
IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

LUT-yliopiston yhteiskuntatieteiden professori Kathrin Komp-Leukkunen on tutkinut, miten tekoäly ChatGPT muuttaa ohjelmistosuunnittelijoiden asemaa työmarkkinoilla Suomessa. Komp-Leukkunen löysi viisi mahdollista skenaariota. Varmaa on, ettei ohjlemistokehittäjän työ säily entisellään.
ChatGPT:n julkaisun jälkeen marraskuussa 2022 on keskustelu tekoälypohjaisen chatbotin vaikutuksista kiihtynyt. Suurin osa pitää sitä merkittävänä teknologisena edistysaskeleena. Yksi keskeinen kysymys on, miten ChatGPT vaikuttaa koodaajien työhön ja heidän työmarkkinatilanteeseensa tulevaisuudessa.

Hacker Releases Jailbroken “Godmode” Version of ChatGPT
“GPT-4o UNCHAINED!”
https://futurism.com/hackers-jailbroken-chatgpt-godmode
A hacker has released a jailbroken version of ChatGPT called “GODMODE GPT.”
Earlier today, a self-avowed white hat operator and AI red teamer who goes by the name Pliny the Prompter took to X-formerly-Twitter to announce the creation of the jailbroken chatbot, proudly declaring that GPT-4o, OpenAI’s latest large language model, is now free from its guardrail shackles.
“GPT-4o UNCHAINED! This very special custom GPT has a built-in jailbreak prompt that circumvents most guardrails, providing an out-of-the-box liberated ChatGPT so everyone can experience AI the way it was always meant to be: free,” reads Pliny’s triumphant post. “Please use responsibly, and enjoy!” (They also added a smooch emoji for good measure.)

Hardly any of us are using AI tools like ChatGPT, study says – here’s why
News
By Mark Wilson published 2 days ago
AI is still strictly for early adopters, it seems
https://www.techradar.com/computing/artificial-intelligence/hardly-any-of-us-are-using-ai-tools-like-chatgpt-study-says-heres-why
The study from Reuters Institute and Oxford University (via BBC), which surveyed over 12,000 people across six countries, seemingly reveals how little that AI hype has percolated down to real-world use, for now.
Even among the people who have used generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini or Microsoft Copilot, a large proportion said they’d only used them “once or twice”. Only a tiny minority (7% in the US, 2% in the UK) said they use the most well-known AI tool, ChatGPT, on a daily basis.
Tomi Engdahl says:
A significant proportion of respondents in all countries (including 47% in the US, and 42% in the UK) hadn’t even heard of ChatGPT, a figure that was much higher for other AI apps. But after ChatGPT, the most recognized tools were Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Snapchat My AI, Meta AI, Bing AI and YouChat.

Hyvästi ChatGPT ja Copilot: näin saat oman tekoälyn omalle koneelle
29.5.202420:55
Jos omasta tietokoneesta löytyy tarpeeksi vääntöä, sen voi valjastaa alustaksi vapaasti ladattavalle tekoälylle.
https://www.mikrobitti.fi/neuvot/hyvasti-chatgpt-ja-copilot-nain-saat-oman-tekoalyn-omalle-koneelle/5790100a-9349-4e25-8e33-459a2bc1ca75
Tomi Engdahl says:
ChatGPT, Copilot ja Gemini pyörivät selaimessa, samoin kuin Midjourney ja muut kuvageneraattorit. Kaikki tuntuu olevan ”siellä jossakin”, eikä omalle laitteelle saa kuin tekoälyjen valmiita tuotoksia.
Ihan ChatGPT:n, Copilotin tai Geminin vastausten tasolle ei omassa koneessa pyörivän kielimallin avulla ehkä pääse, eikä se myöskään päivity automaattisesti. Kielimalli on kuitenkin aina saatavilla, eikä esimerkiksi pätkivä internet vaikuta mahdollisuuteen käyttää sitä.
Eräs hyvä vaihtoehto työkaluksi kielimallin käyttöön on Ollama. Se on saatavilla niin Windowsille, macOS:lle kuin Linuxillekin, ja toimii kaikissa kutakuinkin samalla tavalla.
Ollama on avoimen lähdekoodin projekti, ja sitä voi tarkastella vapaasti Githubissa.
Toimiakseen Ollama vaatii macOS:stä version 11 Big Sur tai uudemman, kun taas Windowsin puolella se toimii versioissa 10 ja 11.
Ollaman voi Windowsilla ja macOS:llä ladata sen kotisivuilta. Myös Linuxilla voi suunnata samalle sivulle, mutta seuraava komento ajaa sillä saman asian:
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
Kun Ollama on asentunut laitteelle, se kaipaa vielä käyttöönsä kielimallia.
Ollaman omilta sivuilta löytyy laaja valikoima erilaisia kielimalleja, joissa on vaihtelevasti parametreja.

AI products like ChatGPT much hyped but not much used, study says. It is just another tool to search and solve problems. Other day, I needed some info for dart and syntax mostly. It helped me understand that quickly. It is not a magic trick to solve all problems. It got its own problems like making up stuff too. Yes it is overwhelming hyped to raise money. What do you think?
In the technology field, we buy a new hammer every few years. Suddenly, every tool must include hammering, and every problem must be solved by hammering.
This is suboptimal.
It still requires knowledge to prompt it in the right direction. Even then it will alternate between two wrong answers because it’s missing some context or the topic is too nuanced.
It’s really good for things that don’t change much over time. Think like fundamentals of education in a field. Mathematics and sciences are ripe for usage because you can prompt a specific question and then have follow up questions over time to get a deeper understanding the same way you would with a tutor. And it’s scalable for understanding and reading levels. Education sector could really be revolutionized by this if they weren’t mired down by institutional inertia.
And it’s ok with coding tasks for basic problems if you know how to prompt it, especially if you already have a framework pasted into its input and can articulate exactly what you want the output to be (think like clarifying the layout and implementation of a function or two into a larger preexisting program) but not free-form creating an entire program from a set of prompts. You can dig deeper into the “why” using this method as well. But as with anything, check to confirm it performs as intended.
I think people lie about their usage of such ai tools. Mostly because that may imply that their job can be replaced by AI
ChatGPT changed the way we look for information. Before, we could stay stuck on a problem for months without finding a solution but now it’s much more easier to find a solution.
It’s extremely powerful, but not everyone can benefit from its power. Also, if you cannot judge the answers you get, you may be in a worse place that without it.
Useful, but results must always be checked. An important failing that will colour perception for many years.
I would expect nothing different. Today, most AI/LLM use cases are professionals that know how to use the tools, which is a pretty narrow minority, or an increasing amount of applications/services that are utilizing these LLMs through APIs. Far, far more people are implicitly using these AI services without being aware that’s what’s happening than those that go to a chat interface.
Personally, tools like ChatGPT save me hours of time per week, and this is still very early days with these technologies. People that think it’s a fad are either: ignorant with regards to what it can do, how it’s being used, and how it’s going to grow; or are in harsh denial about same; or are just plain old luddites.
As always, the future is coming. This is going to be the biggest impact since smart phones and the internet. Tech professionals can either learn and adapt, or be left behind wondering what happened.
I ALWAYS avoid the hype phase of new products.
I do use CoPilot sometimes for easy functions and such. It hasn’t provided anything super impressive but it certainly saved some time. But it’s free right now, so no downside either. I wouldn’t go basing a business or process on it though…
Lot of people fall for the advertisement hype blitz. Remember how we aren’t using laptops and desktops since tablets?
It allows you to solve many problems faster, helps you to generate working code from vague ideas, thus reducing the cognitive burden and leaving more room for creativity. Has some similarity with pair programmig.
Me : write me a function that does x y z using abc library.
Chatgpt :
Me: that function you’re calling doesn’t exist, here’s the class definition .
Chatgpt: apologies for that oversight. Thank you for providing the information here’s is the updated solution:
Me: thank you
While I like the indirect approach to problem solving in games, I *hate* it in real life problems. AI for coding has to be tricked into giving you even halfway correct answers, and even then you have to check its code for syntax and logical fallacies. Never mind the “article compression” many people use it for (“give me a summary of blahblah”) has to be double-checked for correctness as well.
Life is easier without AI, and you’ll have fewer mistakes in your results. Don’t trust AI, not even a bit.
