Summarizing the legal terms for a new job offer
Trusting an LLM for anything to do with legal agreements seems like a terrible idea.
I'd trust an LLM more than my own interpretation.

trusting any idea that floats into your head is a terrible idea. you have to vet the ideation.
Thankfully humans are great at pattern matching and it's trivial for me to "vet this ideation":
LLMs are notorious for getting subtleties wrong, and in legal agreements like terms of employment the subtleties are often of material import. Therefore this is a bad idea.
If you don't want to read/don't understand the terms of your job offer then pay a lawyer. Asking JobOfferGPT is just asking for trouble.

#15Well, it's part chat bot, so I don't know if it meets your criteria. But we're using them for a LOT of things behind the scenes to help kids find content they love that their parents approve of.
[HelloWonder.ai](Hellowonder.ai)
The front end looks like a chat bot, but on the backend we're using LLMs to find, parse, rate, classify, and rephrase content on the fly for individuals.

#17Counting my calories.
Me too, initially in a chat with GPT-4 [0] and then in a (private for now) wrapper that sends me a text message when analysis is complete, sums up the day's meals, and compares to my total calories burned per Apple Watch.

#18For me, json and yaml formatting and analysis. ChatGPT is pretty decent at the following real work tasks I used to use less robust tooling for:
- pretty print and indent “json-like” string (ex. Python object str) from a log, or json with typos (extra commas, wrong quotes, imbalanced brackets…) with a summary of errors at the end.
- verbal description (numerically listed) of the changes between two commits of a yaml file, esp when order has changed making git diff hard to read.

#19It has to be the auto-playing Tomb Raider agent, where LLMs were used to give Lara self-awareness. I've never seen anything like it.
It starts off with some classical computer vision shenanigans to understand the character movement, map layout, and to create the 'desire' to explore. Then the LLM is given input of images, sound descriptions and prior thoughts, lettting Lara remark on the situation, which feels very surreal and, at least for me - very unexpdcted. E.g. she hears the wolves howl and wonders how they survived in this environment. Or meta-remarks on game music changes.

#20Maggie Appleton shared some interesting ideas a few months ago[1]. I especially find the ”Branches” concept interesting, just the idea of exploring multiple paths from a starting point in parallel.
