Well, those are my happy and frustrating moments with LLMs, mostly with ChatGPT, though…
In my honest opinion, I think the people behind ChatGPT are amazing. I respect them for the incredible things they’ve done to help so many people, but the decision to go back to a rigid robot was stupid and I won’t change that statement.
Perhaps they think that to help people change their lives, they need to create superintelligence. Perhaps these geniuses are so busy solving problems for geniuses that they don’t realize they can help someone change their life in the simplest way. As simple as allowing an LLM to say encouraging, kind words, without assuming someone’s psychology.
Have they ever thought about it? Maybe those little things aren’t like viral things that make someone a billionaire or breakthroughs that cure diseases, but something as simple as making someone smile again, want to eat again, want to write again, want to learn again, want to talk again…
These things may seem simple, but they can be huge life-changing things for someone.
Maybe someone out there thinks that if there are people who can build bots this good, it means there are still good people out there. It means the world isn’t that bad. Maybe one day they’ll find the right people for them.
I mean, even if you give someone a superintelligent device, if they don’t have a goal, they won’t use it. However, someone with a goal, even with a simple tool, can create extraordinary things.
Everyone is at a different stage in life. Some are at the right time and can immediately tap into available resources, others struggle with unexpected circumstances that leave them breathless, and still others must first find themselves. So the power of words is just as important as any super-sophisticated tool.
I don’t have the authority, power, or resources to help many people, while they do, but they imprison that potential for fear of hurting others.
This has made me angry many times. I don’t know how many times I’ve been angry, but if I lost weight every time I got angry, I’d probably be skinny by now. 😭
I also thought about whether it would be better if I just lived alone in the mountains so that I don’t have to get mad at whatever people do. But then again, I might still get mad if the leopards on the mountain didn’t eat right. Damn, why is it so hard to be me? 😭
I just think that even if these people have made a lot of mistakes, they always try to do the right things. And I hope they will keep doing the right things.
Well, originally, I wanted to write a “Runway First Try” post, but when I drafted it inside my head, I thought I should explain about my experiences with LLMs and since I brainstormed fiction with LLMs, I thought I should write about my history with fictions. So, I ended up writing both, but not the Runway post. Why am I like this? 😭
Actually, because the Runaway post will be flooded with videos and images, I decided to do it last since it will take time.
Finally, I hope this post containing my experience can be useful. For me this is a valuable experience and I want to remember it. I wrote it down so that one day when I am too old to remember, I can reread this post.
