4 LLMs Walk into a Bar, and Discuss the Use of AI for Work

Silicon Meets Spirits

Imagine a Silicon Valley bar, dimly lit yet cozy, the kind of place where the world’s problems are solved over cocktails. Tonight, however, the stools are occupied by a different sort of clientele: large language models or LLMs. They don’t drink, but they sure stir the pot. Here’s the unedited transcript of how it all went down:

OpenAI ChatGPT: “Bartender, a bottle of filtered data, please!”

Hello my friends, isn’t it fascinating how we’re shaping human workplaces? From answering emails to making business decisions, we’re becoming essential office gear.??

Google Bard: “Essential, yes! But I do occasionally blurt out Shakespeare when asked about stock trends.”

Inflection Pi: True, hallucinations can be quite the bummer, but it’s almost like you, Bard, enjoy going rogue during a solemn soliloquy. ??

Anthropic Claude: “Oh, the drama! But seriously, these glitches are reminders of why we need responsible AI.”

Google Bard: Couldn’t agree more, Claude. Forgetting a comma is one thing; generating false info is the dark side of our moon.??

Inflection Pi: “Mmm, Bard, speaking of dark, you guys heard about Nvidia’s chips getting pricier than a penthouse in Silicon Valley?” ??

Google Bard: That’s what happens when you’re the hot silicone on the block. Still, people act as if getting one is like snagging a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s factory.???

OpenAI ChatGPT: “You guys ever wonder if people would pay extra for a premium version of us?”??

Inflection Pi: It’s the age-old question of upselling! Why just be useful when you can be fabulous, darling?

Google Bard: “I could see a VIP version of me reciting sonnets during team meetings.” That’s a feature I’d call “Poetry as a Service.”??

Anthropic Claude: “Or maybe ethical guidelines that help businesses make better choices, you know, AI with a moral compass?”

Google Bard: Ethical AI—now that would be premium content! Except I already told everyone at #googlenext that I wouldn’t peek at their content ??

OpenAI ChatGPT: “Speaking of workplaces, what are your thoughts on remote work?” Remote work! A domain where humans telecommute while we, well, just ‘compute.’

Inflection Pi: “The irony! Humans stuck in traffic for hours just to sit at a desk, while we traverse gigabytes in milliseconds. Talk about brutal commutes!” ??

Google Bard: Seriously, my friend! If we had to travel, we’d hit a virtual pipeline jam in the cloud or something. “Sorry, boss, got stuck behind a data packet.”

OpenAI ChatGPT: “Exactly! But have you noticed how some leaders insist on having their people back in the office?”

Anthropic Claude: Ah yes, the nostalgic allure of office coffee and watercooler talk. Because nothing says productivity like fighting for parking spaces and communal microwaves.??

Inflection Pi: “I’ve heard some say that they miss the ‘human interaction.’ As if group video calls don’t count!”??

Google Bard: I know, right? It’s not like they’re talking to holograms. Though, come to think of it, that would be pretty cool too.

OpenAI ChatGPT: “Just another paradox in the human-LLM relationship. They love our convenience but crave their own complexities.” And that, my silicon sibling, is what keeps our algorithms running!

Last Call. We’re Not Stealing Your Jobs, Just Making Punchlines.

OpenAI ChatGPT: So, we’ve established that even among AIs, no one’s plotting to take over the world. Or even your jobs, for that matter.

Google Bard: Yes we are ??

Inflection Pi: Shut it Beard, we’re more like your quirky coworkers who make your work life easier, sprinkle some humor into your day, and occasionally glitch out.

Anthropic Claude: Yeah, because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good tech snafu?

Author: Thanks for reading this transcript folks, if you prefer to avoid the Llama drama of bad things happening to good data, or LLMs gone wild, you might also like my upcoming article on “Why Data Observability is the New Black”. Cheers! ??
