Damian’s notes

So far as we can tell the new version of GPT was taught to write ‘literary’ English through adversarial training with other LLMs. The result is bizarrely plausible looking gnomic utterances which on closer examination are just gibberish—but which are convincingly impressive to other LLMs.

Soundslice make a scanner for sheet music. They found they had support calls for a feature they did not have—scanning ASCII tablature, a notation used to writing guitar and drum tablatures online. And it seems people were trying to use this nonexistent feature because ChatGPT was telling them to. So they implemented an ASCII tab importer and now owe ChatGPT for requirement discovery?
