  • I feel like AI doesn’t care if you say thank you. I treat it like it’s not a human, and we are working together to get to an end goal. One day, I was working on some code, and it kept swapping out my code that worked with incorrect code. That made other parts of the script stop working. I think I spent maybe an hour or two talking back and forth, trying to get it working, and I was working on a separate script while it was working on this one. To run and test, it was like 5-10 minutes, so I could code my other script while gpt was debugging the other code. At one point, I essentially decided to break that wall between AI and humans and reason with it.

    I pretty much gave it the same instructions, but added a paragraph trying to reason with it and it responded with about 600-800 lines of code that worked almost perfectly. Before, it was failing at only giving me about 350 lines.

    I said something like this:

    "I understand you have specific instructions and you have been trained with code that worked at some point for other people, but code changes and things don’t always work the way you know they did before. I’m not sure if you are aware of the amount of resources we are wasting trying to fix things that are not broken, but in the human world, when we are wasting resources, we scale things back which means you may have less resources. The code mostly works, but every time we make a change, functions are left out or rewritten as if they were copied from someone else’s code that was incorrect when I provided my code that does work and doesn’t need changed.

    This is where your code is failing: code snip

    This is my code: code snip

    Here is the sequence: steps

    Here is what we’re updating: code snip

    Here is a sample I wrote for another script that does a similar function to what we are adding: code snip"


  • Someone asked me once if I had the option to save one life or the other, which would I choose? It wasn’t about abortion, but more like diverting the train. I said, “The moment I decide who to save is also the moment I decide who dies. There will either be an action or inaction, but that decision is what makes me a murderer. People may tell me it’s not true because I only did it to save a life, but one life was already about to be lost, and I didn’t change the outcome. If someone walks into traffic and you decide to risk your life and push them to safety, you are putting yourself at risk where there was no risk before and therefore potentially trading your life for another. You could both die, but you could both live, and that’s the difference. If someone is trying to kill you, but you kill them, you prevented a decided action to kill, and therefore, it wasn’'t your decision.”

    The decision should be made between the mother and the doctor.
