Does it make sense to put this on the chrome store? OpenAI is eventually going to end the beta period or Azure will run out of GPUs, whichever is first, then it'll no longer be accessible.

In theory we can replicate this with GPT-3 but ChatGPT has better access to its knowledge, when it's not being a nagging busybody, which makes it much friendlier to interact with, when it's not being a nagging busybody.

This is very creative. Thing to note is that this is not free (or at least it is likely not to be, OpenAI is charging for APIs). We are talking about ~1c per search looking at current GPT pricing (2c per ~750 words in/out). It is also indiscriminate deployed in this way, triggering for every search, even those that chatgpt will show suboptimal responses for, like 'starbucks near me', navigational queries like 'twitter' or anything else chatgpt will be bad in the context of search (a lot of things!). And it is non-trivial to predict which searches GPT will be good for (especially within typical result latency requirements of modern search engines).

We are doing some experiments with this at Kagi, and the main trick is to manage cost, possibly through on-demand triggering mechanism (which also can help manage accuracy). One thing to keep in mind is that this is likely going to get better/faster/cheaper in the future.

ChatGPT is an absolute game changer. And I was very conservative with systems like GPT and DALLE-2. For example, I've been very lazy with automating some things on my work laptop, using Powershell. Now, I just had to ask ChatGPT for "write a powershell script that toggles "use setup script" in the windows proxy settings" and I was done in 5 minutes. Amazing. I foresee a paradigm shift in how we use Google in the next 1-2 years.

Is Google in deep waters? And not only because of how good ChatGPT can be, but also as far as "content" goes, because from what I can tell the quality of writing by ChatGPT is very passable for articles, especially if you know the topic you're writing on in and out. I have been thinking about this over the weekend but I haven't been able to get a good feel for it on my own.

No.

It’s interesting to see what’s Google’s next move. laMDA was also impressive.

Google seems to be holding back due to AI safety concerns, and the problems inherent in doing anything at Google scale. I’m curious to see if potential market competition will change that.

No, because they already have LaMDA which is the same thing, a language model for dialogs.

Google could implement that into Google today, but the reason they don't is Google is a 200b/year business. You don't want to mess around with a business of that size for the fun of it.

We will probably see it in Google Assistant before they add it too Google.

OpenAI doesn't have this worry so they can put their model out into the public and if anything goes bad they don't lose anything. Google does.

No.

If you have an opinion I wouldn't mind hearing it. As I say, I haven't come to a conclusion myself but maybe because I lack the information/knowledge about it.
