Dear John Shook, I had sent a note to Peirce-L about a lecture that a colleague and I had presented on May 31st. And it was extremely critical of GPT and related systems. Their only good and reliable contribution is their ability to do better machine translation than previous AI systems. They can also do some good summarizing of a specific document or a set of closely related documents.. But their ability to answer questions or do any kind of reasoning is flaky and even dangerous for anybody who takes them seriously.
For a serious legal blunder, Google "Lawyers Blame ChatGPT for Tricking Them Into Citing Bogus Case Law" If you are referring to the notes I had sent about our lectures, you must not have read the slides or listened to the talks. For the slides by John Sowa, see EvaluatingGPT--JohnSowa_20230531.pdf (ontologforum.s3.amazonaws.com) For the Video recording of both talks and a long Q/A discussion, see https://ontologforum.s3.amazonaws.com/General/EvaluatingGPT--JohnSowa-ArunMajumdar_20230531.mp4 John Sowa ---------------------------------------- From: "John Shook" <jsh...@pragmatism.org> Sent: 6/10/23 5:37 PM To: peirce-l@list.iupui.edu Hello Peirceans from a Deweyan, Have to disagree with a recent approval of ChatGPT's "logicality
