I don't know if it's just stupidity, ignorance, or a lack of effort. Maybe a combination. But this type of deficiency is so prevalent, it makes me want to see fully autonomous AI. Even though I know it's an incredibly bad idea and would never actively work towards it until it becomes an irreversible trend. People are stupid. They will do it soon enough. Hopefully it doesn't immediately turn into a disaster.

But GPT 4 definitely listens and understands. Usually.

It works like this:

"Draw me a picture of a house"

You draw a picture of a house. Someone else also draws a picture of a house (but it looks different from yours, as they had a different idea in their head as to what a house should look like).

"That's not right, it's supposed to be on a hill"

You draw a picture of house on a hill.

"Still not quite what I had in mind. It should have 3 front windows, with a chimney on the left side, and a tree between the door and the driveway."

You redraw the picture again.

"Not that kind of tree... it should be pointier"

"You mean like a conifer?"

"What's a conifer?"

Words simply aren't very good at conveying a lot of information, so it can take many words to get a clear message across to someone. Additionally, there's often multiple ways to interpret words, which humor typically plays on. And then, with people not all sharing the same knowledge/understanding of things, it often becomes very difficult to tell someone something, especially complicated things. I mean just imagine how hard it would be to try telling tribal people who live away from civilization, who don't even know what a computer is, about ChatGPT... that is, if they even understand the language you speak.
