Should have asked GPT-4 for the proper way to present data

Using line plots for this is absurd

General Purpose Technologies (from the Jobs Paper), General Artificial Intelligence. The skirting around the word is really funny. They've figured it out but no one wants to call a spade a spade yet.

exactly - no one wants to be the first one to say it for some reason. If it were me I'd be grabbing that place in history with both hands

Well, I have asked it to design/invent three DIY tools that I needed.

One was stupid : it needed a microprocessor etc.

Another was unique - but too close to existing products to offer benefit.

However, one was novel and probably marketable - and took only 20 minutes in a chat with GPT-4 to finalize the design.

Just think how life will be when this catches on : everyone with an imagination and access to a 3D printer will be building all sorts of weird things.

Okay let's create yet another useless acronym/phrase and toss it in the acronym soup of useless letters.

Did this paper really call Copy.ai a chatbot of its own?

Surely the Alternative Uses Test is all over the place in the LLM training data?

Oh, definitely. I just checked ChatGPT and it's both aware of the existence of the test and can generate example question/answer pairs. This is a general problem when applying human psychology tests to LLMs.

It does help that this test is open-ended and has no right answer. You can always come up with new objects to ask about.

I don't think this is a good test because these questions allow you to trade off knowledge for creativity, and LLMs have vast internet knowledge. It's easy to find listicles with creative uses for all of the objects in the test.

Now, this applies to human creativity too! If you ask me for an alternative use for a pair of jeans, I might say that you could cut them up and braid them into a rug. This isn't my creative idea; I just happen to know there's a hobbyist community that does that.

I think in order to test creativity you need constraints. It's not enough to find uses for jeans, you need to find uses for jeans that solve a specific problem.
