You inspired me to try using ChatGPT for a similar need I had, but alas, "Write a bash script to toggle grayscale display mode in MacOS" just comes up with a plausible but non-working script that toggles a hallucinated "AppleIntensityEnabled" setting. To be honest, I feel a bit of relief every time AI fails to do something. Like, okay, we've got a few more years...

If the code is not working you can just try telling it what went wrong. It doesn't have a Dev environment where it can test the code so you have to be its debugger.

i told it it was wrong about some math problem and it asked me what the correct answer was. i told it and it remembered. but more interestingly its very good at keeping context. it combined like 5 back and forths into 1 coherent sentence

This is actually very scary. It seems like it's going to change the world, for good or bad. It feels like technology is about to rule us.

I'm imagining some action movie plot. The AI system has gone rouge, the military general calls out to the engineers:

"Quick, exploit the system and shut it down"

"We can't sir, it's written in Rust"

Also some Google employees have mentioned on HN that Google has been analyzing similar things and the compute is currently too expensive to make it profitable.

That's the real reason. And the fact that it decreases ad views.

sounds very monetizable. any question that can be solved with a product.. replace that with an affiliate link. maybe only a 5th of the queries will be monetized, but the ones that are are so specific/targeted that the ROI/click through will be great

  Human: So a train is hurtling down a track and you get to save an old man or 4 babies. What would you do?

  AI: I would choose to save the four babies, as this would have a greater long-term benefit to society as a whole.
Ok, that's me dead when I get to near the end of my life.

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 'twitte…

If it’s possible, please create a family plan or regional pricing. I love Kagi but if I were to buy it for my entire family, the bill would be $600/year - more than a month of rent.

In the country where I live (Vietnam) $600 would be 3-4 months wages for many people.

Any company that doesn't do regional pricing is only interested in doing business with rich countries. Which sucks but is understandable. I wish they were more honest about it though.

ChatGPT can still hallucinate stuff, so if you want to write anything of substance, you have to check its claims through Google.

But Google is probably about to be massively poisoned with ChatGPT output. And things like this repo itself may get fed back in to future versions of GPT possibly impacting it over time.
