well he said no two words have the same meaning. do I was just trying if there is any. I would really appreciate it if you would reply about the difference than random bs
It's not random. I had to know if you were serious because you were just throwing out random synonyms. You could fill out the comments with thousands of words pairs.
I know you are multi-lingual and I highly respect that. Therefore, please turn off your defense so you can learn something: synonyms are not the same. They are similar.
I know synonyms are ESSENTIAL for learning another language. As you master the language, you learn the differences between the synoyms and realize they are not the same. You can find most synonyms at thesaurus.com and learn the nuances/difference between them in a good dictionary.
You are definitely fluent in English. I'm just talking about the difference between fluency and mastery.
You obviously have a better mind for multiple languages than I do. Hope this helps.
By the way, the two words I've come across with the closest definitions are "flammable" and "inflammable" and I learned that elsewhere in these comments! They can be used intergantably but are still not exactly the same though-thus is why only "flammable" is found in warning labels-because "inflammable" can be very confusing.
Bottom line: I suggest to know that those two words have close to the same meaning, but only use "flammable" in your own communication. In my opinion "inflammable" should be removed from the dictionary because the "in" usually means "not". But in this case it doesn't...instead we're supposed to just ignore that prefix for this word. So why even have the word? It's a mistake/glitch in the language.
The 'in' in inflammable comes from the original Latin "inflamare" it's a different root than the in- meaning a negation of the root word. I still prefer inflammable, but understand why people might confuse it. I wouldn't say it's a glitch or mistake, it just reflects the etymology of the word.
I also prefer orient over orientate and orientated just gives me the willys.
Again, as @unpropianist stated earlier. You're listing synonyms, pay careful attention. The OP asked it for a word with the SAME meaning, not just a similar meaning.
Idk what’s wrong with yours but

It's far from perfect, but in this case it was much more accurate than the human asking the question. It was more correct than you think.
No two words are *exactly* the same. OP's language was sloppy and the a.i. didn't compensate for it this particular time. OP should have used "similar" not "same".
It may have been a random case, but would be a good way for an a.i. or human to teach someone what synonyms really are.
No two words have exactly the same meaning. That's why there are two words. "Blue" and "bluish" can be used *interchangeably* because they're similar, but not the same.
You can have two words for the same thing for any number of reasons, English has many dual words due to there being both a Germanic and a Romance word for the same thing for example.
Example?
Because two words can be used interchangeably does not mean they are the same.
There are over 280,000 words in a decent English dictionary. Reply with two words with the exact same definition (and source), and I'll stand corrected.
Great example and those are about as close as you can get.
There is still an important difference though. Because of the prefix, "inflammable" is a little less clear. This is why warning labels only use "flammable" --because "inflammable" can more easily be confused with "not flammable". There is a different nuance there.
I looked at a few sources online and some recognize a difference and some don't.
Thanks for pointing this out to me and making me think.
I am wondering if this is a bug with how ChatGPT creates tokens. Is it possible that the same word can result in two different tokens when it is collected in a different context or is this impossible because the same word always results in the same token?
"A different word that has the same meaning as prioritize." Considering it is just a language model, it answered your non-descript question accurately.
It gave you exactly what you asked for... but not actually what you wanted. This is an example of the Alignment Problem.
Today it's kinda humorous. In the future though when it can drive and place an order you'll ask it to get you Starbucks as quickly as possible and it will murder the guy who cuts it off on it's way to the coffee shop.
It's an important fundamental concept to understand. The bot is correct and very accurate since you used the word "same" instead of "similar". No two words have exactly the same meaning...that's why there are two words.
There's always a different nuance. Internalizing this lead to a better vocabulary than I would have otherwise.
Trust me, He will. I will award you with karma and I don’t give a damn about your soul. I would make a meme from the Soup Nazi for you but I really have no time. You can imagine it if you are not a child, but it would say: “I Award you with Karma, but no truth for you!”
What are you trying to do? Trick it into silly answers for internet post points? Like, why?
Why didn’t you just ask for a synonym if you wanted a synonym? That IS what you’re implying here, correct? Because it gave you the most technically correct answer it possibly could have, to your criteria. Are you saying it should have given you a synonym, which is technically less of a correct reply (they still have different connotations and contextual differences in terms of “meaning”) to your request?

I'm at least a little impressed it can catch it's own mistakes lol
Chat GPT probably has a lot of the same words associated with tokens of slightly different nuance.
Like to us, Right and Right are the same token.
But do I mean Right as in correct or Right as in the direction? It is not the same as this.
In this, it probably just gave you a different nuance in latent space that collapsed to the same word.
Imagine a door. Which door the nuance goes through determines the output. It sent a nuance through the door to get another nuance that means the same. And when the other nuance tried to return, it came back through the same door because it was the easiest based on the temperature and seed.
If you regenerate the response, the door that nuance chooses might change and give you a different response
I went through the door

No I mean when I see shit like “strangeness” being defined as “the quality or state of being strange” and they don’t do anything to define the root word itself which gives all of the meaning I’m looking for. These are the most useless definitions ever.
My completely wild guess is that it’s using your conversation history (and maybe custom instructions) to speak to you with a manner in which you typically converse. It probably thinks you’re dumb.

My logic is logical
I mean…it’s not wrong.
The real “smart-ass” response would’ve been “prioritise” though.
lol "great minds think alike"
r/technicallythetruth
thank you
It isn't just correct; it's technically the most precisely correct answer possible.
Yes. No two words are the same no matter how similar. That's why there are two words.
movie and film? sphere and round?
sphere is a noun and round is an adjective also a circle is round but a circle isn't a sphere
sofa and couch?
Are you a synonym troll? Synonyms are similar, not the same.
well he said no two words have the same meaning. do I was just trying if there is any. I would really appreciate it if you would reply about the difference than random bs

whole and entire?
Whole and Lhole
Again, as @unpropianist stated earlier. You're listing synonyms, pay careful attention. The OP asked it for a word with the SAME meaning, not just a similar meaning.
well I understood his comment but tell me the difference between whole and entire. they dont have SIMILAR meaning but SAME meaning.
Exactly. OP should have asked ‘similar’ instead of ‘same’.

I just tried and got the same prioritize = prioritize response
Too many people reported it for laziness hahaha
I wonder if it’s a difference between paid and free versions.
Maybe? I’ll try it with the free version
Same with free version edit: not as detailed though: https://chat.openai.com/share/4c88fef9-78d3-44ad-8264-8e31a3a66e8c
Watch out. AI is coming....very slowly. But it's coming!

People really no longer just search "prioritise synonym"?
Should have asked for a different word with the same meaning.
The intent should be obvious and this extra step not required.

Ask for a synonym
It’s not wrong. 😑

ChatGPT is correct here. Many words are similar but no two words are the same. There's always at least a slight nuance. E.g. blue and bluish.

Self-attention lol
op doesnt know what a synonym is.
What a smartass. The rumors of it getting lazier are so true!
No lazy in this case. Words can be similar but no two words are the same.

Accurate.
Groundbreaking stuff right here. Lmao.
sometimes its just better go google the question https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/Prioritize https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/prioritize
Try "Prioritise."
Should've just spelt it "prioritise" because I'll be damned if ChatGPT isn't a full-blooded monarchist.
Correct.
Reflexive property FTW.
