    ChatGPT and other LLMs need access to tools for things like this just like you and I do. If you ask me how many seconds have elapsed since I started typing this, I would give you a convincing estimate. I would need a Casio watch to give you an exact answer.

    No one who is impressed by LLMs should ever be permitted to make decisions which affect anyone not similarly cognitively impaired.

    So, ChatGPT can’t match any function of a Casio wristwatch. I’m concerned that when it can, it will consume the power of microwaving a turkey just to tell a user what time it is.

        It’s because he knows how screwed OpenAI, actually is.

        He acts like he’s surfing the wave. He looks like he’s exactly as deep in the hole as he actually is.

        ChatGPT is the next Theranos.

        He hasn’t just scammed consumers. He’s scammed investors. And that’s the one crime that actually lands people like him in prison.

    Okay, but just to be clear, the problem is not that it can’t do a timer. The problem is that it claims to be able to and even produces a result which looks plausible. It means, you cannot trust it to do anything that you can’t easily verify. If they could fix that overconfidence in a year, it would be much better.

    There’s a guy on tiktok called Huskistaken (yes, i know) that demonstrates repeatedly just how useless chatgpt is.

    The first video of his I saw was him playing a clip of altman stating that it doesn’t have a timer and chat gpt countering that it does.

    He then gets it to start a timer to time his long it takes him to run a mile and almost instantly tells it to stop. It tells him it was +7 minutes!
