Used ChatGPT to write a grad school networking email to rip apart in a writing exercise for my students, and it produced exactly the kind of form letter I get hundreds of. A couple hours later one such letter showed up in my inbox and more than half was word for word identical.

OpenAI may have tested GPT-4 on the training data: we found slam-dunk evidence that it memorizes coding problems that it's seen. Besides, exams don't tell us about real-world utility: It’s not like a lawyer’s job is to answer bar exam questions all day. aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/gpt-4-and-pr…

1/9 Dear @JohnTory You met Angie Austin in the moss park overdose prevention site tent, 6 years ago. She was the first person you saw inject. She spoke to you about why she injected drugs & you stayed and listened to her. That moment changed your views. She didn't want to die.

1998 me, a computer science major who read Barthes and Beaudrillard for fun, would be pretty amazed to find out how it all turned out.
