Not even 10 seconds after I started watching the stream, someone said how much more human GPT-5 is, while the people sitting and talking about it don't seem human at all, and it's not an accent/language thing. Seems they're strictly following a dialogue script that is trying to make them seem "impromptu" but the acting isn't quite there for that :)

I use LLMs to get answers to queries but I avoid having conversations with them because I'm aware we pick up idiosyncrasies and colloquialisms from everyone we interact with. People who spend all day talking to thier GPT-voice will adjust their speaking style to be more similar to the bot.

I developed this paranoia upon learning about The Ape and the Child where they raised a chimp alongside a baby boy and found the human adapted to chimp behavior faster than the chimp adapted to human behavior. I fear the same with bots, we'll become more like them faster than they'll become like us.

One woman who went through her calendar with GPT had good acting that the GPT reply helped her find impromptu information (an email she needed to answer), and someone staged GPT-5 to make a French-learning website lander - which butchered its own design in the second run; but that's all the good acting for a "candid presentation" that I could find.

It created a webapp called „le chat“ hahah

I laughed my ass off immediately after it gave that output, until the presenter made clear that it was a flash card for learning the words, "the cat" in French - and backed it up.

I don’t blame them, they aren’t actors. And yes, it’s clearly not impromptu, but I am trying to not let that take away from the message they are communicating. :)

Presenting is hard

[AnimalMuppet]

Presenting where you have to be exactly on the content with no deviation is hard. To do that without sounding like a robot is very hard.

Presenting isn't that hard if you know your content thoroughly, and care about it. You just get up and talk about something that you care about, within a somewhat-structured outline.

Presenting where customers and the financial press are watching and parsing every word, and any slip of the tongue can have real consequences? Yeah, um... find somebody else.

One heck of a Turing test itself if I've ever seen one.-
