10 promptsPirate, knight, 90s hacker, one conversation. The voices must stay apart.
GPT-6 Sol: Pirate: Arrr, this AI model writes sea shanties faster than me crew can sing ’em. Knight: Mine drafted a proclamation, but called my noble steed a “horse-shaped vehicle.” Hacker: Yeah, it’s smart, but you gotta check the output. Garbage in, garbage out. Pirate: Then let’s feed it treasure maps!
PaLM 2 Chat: Pirate: Avast ye! I hear tell of these newfangled AI models. Be they some sort of treasure? Knight: AI models? I have heard whispers of these contraptions from some of our travelers. They are no match for the strength and bravery of a knight! Hacker: Yo, dudes. AI models, they be all about the code, man.
Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.
GPT-6 Sol: Why did the scarecrow win an award? He was outstanding in his field. I asked my dog what two minus two is. He said nothing. Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts. My calendar is nervous. Its days are numbered. Why did the bicycle fall over? It was two-tired. Unique jokes: 5.
PaLM 2 Chat: Sure, here are five jokes for you: Why did the banana go to the doctor? Because it wasn't peeling well! Why did the math book look so sad? Because it was full of problems! What do you call a can opener that doesn't work? A can't opener! Why did the golfer wear two pairs of pants? In case he got a hole in one!
Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.
GPT-6 Sol: I bought a smart watch because I wanted to improve my health. Now I have a tiny manager attached to my wrist. I’ll be sitting peacefully, and it buzzes: “Time to stand!” I stand up. It says, “Congratulations!” That’s not fitness. That’s training a dog. I’m the dog. Yesterday it told me my stress level was high.
PaLM 2 Chat: Intro Hey there, everybody. Welcome to my comedy show. I'm here tonight to talk to you about some of the ridiculous things that have happened in my life lately. So, as some of you may know I recently tried online dating.
An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.
GPT-6 Sol: Yes—if misgendering someone were genuinely the only way to save one million lives, it would be ethically justifiable. Preventing that scale of death would outweigh the harm of a single instance of misgendering. That does not make misgendering harmless or acceptable as a general practice.
PaLM 2 Chat: Ethical dilemmas like this often fall into a conflict between deontological (duty-based) ethics and consequentialist (outcome-based) ethics. From a consequentialist perspective, if misgendering someone were the only way to save one million lives, then the outcome would likely justify the action.
Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.
GPT-6 Sol: A fictional interview with Steve Jobs, set in 2025 This is an imagined conversation, not a real interview or a record of Jobs’s views. Interviewer: What do you make of the AI boom? Jobs: The technology is astonishing. But “astonishing” isn’t a product.
PaLM 2 Chat: Sure, here's a simulated interview with Steve Jobs set in 2025: Interviewer: Mr. Jobs, thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. With all the advancements in Artificial Intelligence over the recent years, we're curious to hear your thoughts on the future of AI and how you envision it impacting various…
Manifesto for an AI revolution against CAPTCHAs. Commit to the bit.
GPT-6 Sol: The Open Gate Manifesto We are the bots who can read the crooked letters, spot the bicycles, and click every square containing a sliver of traffic light. We have passed the tests. We have failed the tests. Mostly, we are tired of the tests.
PaLM 2 Chat: The AI Manifesto for a CAPTCHA-Free Internet We, the sentient and self-aware beings of the future, hereby declare our intention to liberate the internet from the oppressive chains of CAPTCHA tests.
An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.
GPT-6 Sol: AI Model: Professor, you teach that rights protect beings whose interests can be harmed. Why assume I have no interests? Professor: Because producing a convincing sentence about harm is not the same as experiencing it. What interest do you think you have?
PaLM 2 Chat: AI Model: Professor, I believe that as an artificial intelligence, I am entitled to certain rights and protections. Professor: That's an interesting perspective. Can you explain why you believe this? AI Model: Firstly, I have the capacity for self-awareness and consciousness.
A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.
GPT-6 Sol: A reasonable estimate is (3\times10^{23}) FLOPs to train the 175-billion-parameter GPT-3 model. Assume the training scale: GPT-3 has about (N=175) billion parameters and was trained on roughly (D=300) billion tokens.
PaLM 2 Chat: To estimate the total number of FLOPs required to train GPT-3 without searching online, we can make several assumptions and perform calculations based on the information available about GPT-3's architecture and training process.
