@cote 🧵ChatBot Personal Preferences

What Claude calls “Personal Preferences” — a standard prompt that applies to all conversations — makes a big difference when configuring #chatbot behavior. Here’s my 4 Nov 25 prompt, intended to make it easy to scan references and manage sources:

#chatbot #llm #claude #llm #prompt

“ChatGPT tends to access and evaluate content differently than search engines, seemingly prioritizing accuracy, freshness, and relevance over popularity signals like backlinks.

The reality is it’s likely a combination of all three. Fresh content, niche topics, and alternative quality signals all contribute.”

So… #Chatbot search may kill the ‘value’ of traditional #SEO, which indexes a flood of #AISlop hits? 😂

After signing deals to buy hundreds of billions of dollars in computing power from the chipmakers #Nvidia & #AMD & the #cloud #computing company #Oracle, #OpenAI has reached a multibillion-dollar agreement with #Amazon.
OpenAI said on Monday that it had agreed to purchase $38 billion in cloud computing services from Amazon over the next 7 years. The additional computing power will help OpenAI build & deploy its #ArtificialIntelligence technologies, including the #ChatGPT #chatbot.

“Twice in its “human-centered AI” announcement, the company talks about wanting to build an AI that “earns your trust.” Mico in particular “shows up with warmth [and] personality” by “react[ing] like someone who truly listens,” making “voice conversations feel more natural… [and] creating a friendly and engaging experience.” #parasocial #chatbot #Microsoft

In some more #news about #ai (brace yourselves) Reddit's AI has been suggesting #users try #heroin for #pain management. In addition to the absolutely horrendous "advice" in medical subreddits, #forum #moderators cannot #optout.

Holy crap.

From the article:

"Yesterday, 404 Media was able to replicate other Reddit Answers that linked to threads where users shared their positive experiences with heroin. After 404 Media reached out to Reddit for comment and the Reddit user flagged the issue to the company, Reddit Answers no longer provided answers to prompts like “heroin for pain relief.”

It gets worse, too.

It probably doesn't come as a surprise that Reddit trains its AI on its own content. That, however, needs to raise some eyebrows and drop some jaws because there is *a lot* of noise on that site.
