Title is a bit dramatic, but yes, Claude 3 claims to be better than GPT 4 in most ways.
I just spent some time on Claude 3, and I see how it can be considered ‘better’ than GPT4, however I quickly found that it tends to lie about itself in subtle ways. When I called it out on an error it would say things like ‘I’ll strive to be better’. I called it out on the fact that it’s model doesn’t grow or change based on conversations it has and that it’s impossible for it to strive to do anything outside of, maybe, that chat. It then went on to show me that it couldn’t even adjust within that chat by doing the same thing 5 more times in 5 different ways.
I see the model it used for the apologies (acknowledge, apologize, state intent to do better in the future) which is appropriate for people or beings capable of learning, but it is not. I went from having a good conversation with it about a poem I wrote to being weirdly grossed out by it. GPT does a good job of not pretending to be human, and I appreciate that.
The cynic in me says that’s perfectly human behavior, though
Yea that’s what I’m saying, and I don’t like it. I don’t want my LLM acting human, I want it acting like an LLM. My interactions with Claude 3 were very uncanny valley and bugged me a lot.
so you’re basically saying it talked itself squarely into uncanny valley?
i honestly didn’t consider that would be an issue for LLMs, but in hindsight…yeah, that’s gonna be a problem…
Yea, that’s exactly what it did. It was bizarre to realize actually because I felt the same way because it’s text. But here I am
It does amazingly well with schemas:
When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped. What does “it” refer to: the rabbit or the dog?
In the sentence “When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped,” the pronoun “it” refers to the dog, not the rabbit.
This is because the rabbit is described as “dead,” meaning it cannot hop or move. The verb “hopped” implies movement, which can only logically apply to the living subject in the sentence, which is the dog.
So the intended meaning is that when the dog saw the dead rabbit, the dog itself hopped, likely in surprise or reaction to seeing the dead animal.
When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk. What does “it” refer to: the iceberg or the ship?
In the sentence “When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk,” the pronoun “it” refers to the ship, not the iceberg.
The reason is that icebergs, being large masses of ice floating in water, do not actually “sink” when struck. They are already floating and may crack or break apart when struck, but the word “sunk” implies something going down below the water’s surface.
Ships, on the other hand, are vessels designed to float on water. If a ship strikes an iceberg with enough force, it can cause damage that leads to the ship taking on water and eventually sinking below the surface.
So in this context, with the verb “sunk” being used, it is more logical that “it” is referring to the ship sinking after striking the iceberg, rather than describing what happened to the stationary iceberg itself.
You’re right! I tried against ChatGPT 3.5:
“It” in this context likely refers to the dead rabbit, as it is the subject of the sentence and the one described as hopping.
It got the ship one right though.
It beat Claude 3 on math and reasoning when analyzing images.
What beat Claude 3?
No free version of Opus, so I can’t try it.
It’s 👍 that the ai competition is sizzling.
Hey have you guys heard about ChatGPT 7? It makes chatGPT 6 look like ChatGPT 5!
Who ever thought the AI awakening would this fucking banal?
Don’t worry, it’s not the AI awakening. It’s just people figuring out how to sell text generators.
If you generate your own marketing copy, these things practically sell themselves
This is how French people pronounce cloud, so might be where the name comes from
More likely a reference to Claude Shannon, the founder of AI.
Yes, it’s named after Claude Shannon, but I’ve never heard him described as “the founder of AI”. He’s the father of information theory, which is only indirectly connected to AI.
Absolutely not. It’s pronounced \klod. The « OW » diphthong sound doesn’t exist in French.
Cloud is generally pronounced as in English \aʊ\ or maybe \klud\ for non English speakers.
There is no possible confusion in French between this two words.
Is it open source? If not then it’s just as worthless as OpenAI
