Indeed, having a hard time thinking of anything I desire that I wouldn’t want sooner rather than later. Maybe a grave yard plot — hopefully won’t need that anytime soon.
They also say that if they do the analysis globally the effect goes away. Curious, does that not imply that if one domain is biased against some group there would be another where the bias was in its favor?
Pleading has worked for me. “My job depends on this, please help me” and ChatGPT would do a task it previously claimed it wasn’t able to (extract text from an image, it claimed it couldn’t make it out at first)
FWIW I wrote a paper on nutrient-limited growth rates of cells and how that depends on their shape. one of the interesting findings was that elongated cells can grow exponentially quickly (as observed) while spheres quickly max out.
When reading and writing became prevalent, the ancients bemoaned our reduced facility to memorize long texts. Are we now “less smart” because of that technology?
I’ve noticed that people in my field tend to have relatively similar personalities and relatively similar MB categories (close to INTJ). That combo is relatively rare within the broader population. Given this consistency I don’t think we can say it’s pseudoscience in a strong sense.
