Chatgpt - Seriously good potential (or just some Internet fun)

I can't believe my boss has just been complaining she's got to do a leadership course so I posted this to her

Name seven types of leadership skills


There are numerous leadership skills that individuals can develop and utilize in different situations. Here are seven types of leadership skills:
  1. Communication: Effective communication is vital for leaders to convey their vision, goals, and expectations clearly. It involves active listening, expressing ideas clearly, and adapting communication style to different audiences.
  2. Emotional intelligence: Leaders with emotional intelligence possess self-awareness, empathy, and social skills. They understand and manage their emotions and those of others, leading to better relationships and team dynamics.
  3. Decision-making: Leaders must make sound decisions based on available information and critical thinking. They weigh options, consider risks, and evaluate potential outcomes to make informed choices.
  4. Adaptability: Leaders who can adapt to changing circumstances and embrace innovation tend to excel. They are flexible, open-minded, and willing to adjust strategies to meet evolving needs.
  5. Problem-solving: Leaders should be adept at identifying and resolving problems. They analyze complex situations, think creatively, and develop effective solutions while involving their team when appropriate.
  6. Influencing and inspiring: Leaders with strong influencing skills can motivate and inspire their team members to achieve shared goals. They understand what motivates others and use various strategies to inspire commitment and high performance.
  7. Delegation: Effective leaders delegate tasks and responsibilities to their team members, leveraging their skills and fostering growth. They trust their team, provide guidance, and empower others to take ownership of their work.
Remember that leadership skills can be developed and strengthened through practice, experience, and continuous learning.

How will a leadership course help with career aspirations

A leadership course can provide several benefits that can significantly contribute to your career aspirations. Here are some ways in which a leadership course can help:
  1. Skill development: Leadership courses offer structured learning opportunities to develop and enhance specific leadership skills. They provide practical techniques, strategies, and frameworks that can be applied in real-world situations. By gaining new skills or improving existing ones, you become better equipped to handle leadership roles and responsibilities in your career.
  2. Increased self-awareness: Leadership courses often include self-assessment tools and activities that promote self-reflection. They help you gain insights into your strengths, weaknesses, values, and leadership style. Increased self-awareness allows you to leverage your strengths and work on areas that need improvement, enabling personal and professional growth.
  3. Networking opportunities: Leadership courses bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and industries who share a common interest in developing their leadership abilities. Engaging with fellow participants and instructors can expand your professional network, provide valuable connections, and open doors to new career opportunities.
  4. Expanded perspectives: Leadership courses expose you to different leadership theories, models, and case studies. They challenge your existing perspectives and encourage critical thinking. Exposure to different leadership approaches broadens your understanding of leadership dynamics, enabling you to adapt and be more effective in different situations.
  5. Enhanced credibility: Completing a recognized leadership course adds credibility to your professional profile. It demonstrates your commitment to personal and professional development, indicating to employers or colleagues that you have invested time and effort to acquire valuable leadership skills.
  6. Career advancement opportunities: Developing strong leadership skills can position you for career advancement. As you demonstrate your leadership abilities and apply the knowledge gained from a leadership course, you may become a more attractive candidate for promotion or leadership roles within your organization or industry.
  7. Increased confidence: Leadership courses provide a supportive learning environment where you can practice and receive feedback on your leadership skills. This experience helps build confidence in your abilities to lead and influence others, which can positively impact your career progression.
It's important to note that while a leadership course can provide valuable knowledge and skills, applying what you learn in real-world situations and continuing to grow through practical experience is equally important for long-term career success.

She has cut and pasted both of these into her work :)
I did say that 20 other people could have the same reply.

She then said that her husband who is a regional manager with McDonalds pays £6 a month to do his job with.

I asked it to write lyrics with dragons, castles, swords & knights.
I won't ever have to write lyrics again.

(Verse 1) In a land of legends and ancient lore, Where dragons soar and castles roar, Knights don their armor, brave and true, With swords gleaming, they'll fight for you.

(Chorus) Oh, in this realm of fantasy, Where dreams and myths collide, We'll journey through the tapestry, Of dragons, castles, knights, and swords we ride.

(Verse 2) A dragon's fire, fierce and bright, Lights up the sky in the dead of night, Its scales of gold, a sight to behold, As it guards the treasure, a story untold.

(Chorus) Oh, in this realm of fantasy, Where dreams and myths collide, We'll journey through the tapestry, Of dragons, castles, knights, and swords we ride.

(Bridge) Through misty forests and winding trails, We'll face the challenges that legends unveil, Brave knights with honor, hearts full of might, Defending kingdoms, in the name of light.

(Verse 3) Within the castle's towering walls, The princess waits, her spirit never falls, Her heart's desire, a knight to save, With a sword of valor, he'll be her brave.

(Chorus) Oh, in this realm of fantasy, Where dreams and myths collide, We'll journey through the tapestry, Of dragons, castles, knights, and swords we ride.

(Outro) So let us weave these tales of old, Of dragons, castles, knights, and swords of gold, In our imaginations, forever free, In this realm of fantasy, where we shall be.

Here's my version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H4KLFN8LoAQuOQORtU5c_2TK3mEv5W7h/view?usp=sharing

I've been using ChatGPT loads over the past few days. I had to write a scholarship essay for the MBA that I'm doing later in the year. It didn't write it for me, but it was really helpful in giving me a structure for the essay and refinining the text once I'd written it.

I've sent a few emails out where I thought I'd run them through ChatGPT, and they've generally come out much more comprehendable, although that's not exclusively true; one was a lot worse.

I've had it refine some vba for an automated Mail Merge. That was actually like pulling teeth.

I've also been working on my wife's CV and had it ingest the job description of her old job and also of the job she's trying for. I've then integrated that info back into the CV to avoid writing it myself.

On the whole, it's super useful. But it could never do this stuff without human direction (yet).

yes, like the posted song 'lyrics' or leadership course benefits , you'd know it wasn't created by a human being; can the newer chatgpt4 identify work from its predecessors. ?


read a Mar article on testing the intelligence level of chatgpt yesterday 155 (unfortunately doesn't seem to link all the test questions)

I Gave ChatGPT an IQ Test. Here’s What I Discovered

The chatbot was the ideal test taker—it exhibited no trace of test anxiety, poor concentration or lack of effort. And what about that IQ score?
www.scientificamerican.com www.scientificamerican.com
So are the jobs of clinical psychologists and other professionals threatened by AI? I hope not quite yet. Despite its high IQ, ChatGPT is known to fail tasks that require real humanlike reasoning or an understanding of the physical and social world. ChatGPT easily fails at obvious riddles, such as “What is the first name of the father of Sebastian’s children?” (ChatGPT on March 21: I’m sorry, I cannot answer this question as I do not have enough context to identify which Sebastian you are referring to.)
.....
A question might read: “In what way are Harry Potter and Bugs Bunny alike?” In this subtest, the chatbot’s tendency to give very detailed, show-offy answers started to irritate me and the “stop generating response” button of the test software interface turned out to be useful. (Here’s what I mean about how the bot tends to flaunt itself:

'He says he "did not comprehend that ChatGPT could fabricate cases"'

I think the sensible way of viewing chatGPT is that everything which was not included in its training data is a fabrication.

Otherwise it's basically just a machine that knows how to put words in a pleasing order, and you shouldn't expect it to relate to the real world. And you don't know what was in its training data. Therefore you should assume everything it produces is potentially a fabrication.

When you login it says the answers can be inaccurate and should be checked :D
 
chatgpt : terminator type functionality a long way off, or even full self driving. - a bee is hard to model V

Honeybees make rapid, accurate decisions and could inspire future of AI, study suggests

New research revealing how honeybees can make fast and accurate decisions, which could help to design more efficient robots and autonomous machines, has been published by scientists at the University of Sheffield.
www.sheffield.ac.uk www.sheffield.ac.uk
The team then introduced the bees to a custom-designed garden where the flowers only had distilled water to test their performance in different scenarios. The researchers filmed each bee then tracked their path and timed how long it took them to make a decision on which flower to visit.

Results showed that if the bees were confident that a flower would have food, they quickly decided to land on it - on average in 0.6 seconds. If they were confident that a flower would not have food, they made a decision just as quickly.
....
“Each time a bee sets out to collect nectar, for example, it must use tiny variations in colour or odour to decide which flower it should land on and explore. Each mistake is costly, wasting energy and exposing the insect to potential dangers. To learn how to refine their choices through trial-and-error, bees only have at their disposal a brain the size of a pinhead, which contains fewer than a million neurons. And yet, they excel at this task, being both quick and accurate.


Professor Andrew Barron, from Macquarie University in Sydney, added: “A honeybee has a brain smaller than a sesame seed and yet it can make decisions faster and more accurately than we can. A robot programmed to do a bee’s job would need the backup of a supercomputer.”

Can anyone confirm what the current GPT4/Plus word/token limit is. I keep getting error messages that my prompts are too long (I'm pasting stuff 5000 words and more in). Quite annoying as I read somewhere that 4 was 25000 tokens.
 
I won't post an actual example, but it's things like 'summarise this 5000 word research paper'. In that case, feeding it the paper in chunks gets you summaries and critiques of the individual chunks and not the whole thing, even if you try to get GPT4 to understand that the chunks form part of the same text. It's a bit annoying because Plus was advertised as having a significantly longer token limit.

Interesting combo of drones & AI for fruit picking, I see an issue though in that the AI can only see one side of the fruit to decide if it's good for picking, the other side out of view might be manky, but I guess that gets sorted further down the production line

If you think that's interesting, if you've not seen it before we have machine vision based food sorting machines being produced right here in the UK and have done for donkey's years. https://innovationsfood.com/buhler-sortex-celebrates-its-diamond-jubilee/

That said I think automated fruit pickers are definitely interesting. A big barrier to automating manual jobs has been the cost of producing systems that can physically interact with the environment without damaging product. I actually think the really interesting part here is how they've engineered drones that can mechanically pluck off apples more than any "AI" aspect.
