OpenAI’s Needy FAQ Update On Their Text Classifier

Frying Pan Into The Fire With OpenAI’s “Improvement”

Well, sit down and brace yourself for a thrilling update on OpenAI’s Text Classifier “improvements.” Yes, the company with more money than sense decided to gussy up their FAQ and pat themselves on the back for making it robust. Here’s the breakdown you didn’t ask for: The Text Classifier, which was only good for producing gibberish till now, supposedly has some issues fixed. Yeah, right.

Potential Implications: A Cocktail Of Tech Disaster

The highfalutin’ tech gurus at OpenAI seem think that their Text Classifier’s enhancements may revolutionize the way we interact online. The dream is that it’d serve as a useful tool, ensuring online safety, enhancing communication and learning, and might even make people’s lives easier – and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. Realistically, it’ll probably end up like every other tech “breakthrough.” A load of hype, followed by disappointment when it turns out the AI can’t even classify text as well as a semi-competent high school English teacher.

The Hot Take

In sum, if OpenAI were half as good at improving their technology as they are at generating buzz, we might actually have something worth talking about. But alas, such is not the case. Their education technology seems hellbent on classifying every innocuous sentence as a threat to humanity, while missing any actual threats that come its way. They’ve managed to create a tool that’s about as useful as a chocolate teapot. So, here’s a slow clap for OpenAI and their ‘robust’ Educator FAQ. Trust them at your peril.
