With how new and viral ChatGPT has been, it’s easy to forget chatbots have been here for decades. We’ve seen them as friends, therapists, services; but why are we so attached to talking to computers? Editor-at-large, David Pierce, dives into the history of chatbots starting with the first one ever made known as ELIZA. He explores how interactions with these bots have evolved over time in both technology and personality. Presented by SAP. #Technology #AI

I don't know why this illusion surprises everyone so much. We grow up naturally personifying everything. Show someone an object, give it a name and short story, then destroy it in front of them. They'll be sad. We want to empathize and connect with everything.

This is a really thought-provoking framing of chatbots. There's so much discussion about the "information" impact (e.g., replacing knowledge workers, generating misinformation, etc.) that I'd never thought about how strong of an emotional impact they can have.

What I learned from hanging with boys is that when their GF is talking just repeat the last word in their sentence and nod, and they think that they're already making a conversation. So basically this is how basic language models were developed.

😂👍 after the AI insanity Vergecast I had an itch to go looking for a summary vid for the history of AI development milestones to remind me of those I’ve lived through & fill in any gaps & highlight the lesser known in the zeitgeist/ media highlighted players. Or a James Burke’s Pinball Effect / Connections type vid, that would be cool. The first vid of a acceptable length at that moment that had some views claimed that computers were using tape drives in the ‘90s & so was either written by an AI or a 12yr old. So I quickly moved on and had other things to do. Lo & behold a week later the Verge itself posts exactly what I was looking for from a known credible source that I could rely on being well researched & refer to academic papers !!! Thx 🙏

The description of transformers as “being able to see the entire sentence” is true about the type of model used in “Attention is all you need”, however the type of model used for ChatGPT and other similar chatbots *is* only predicting the next word (or token).
