With ChatGPT, I would have convinced VCs to invest in my startup. Shame it got released 6 months too late.
...and many other convincements could be done in many other fields. I'm not a drama queen type of person but I'm honestly scared with this

#12siiiigh If this is GPT-3, what could GPT-4 do? Would GPT-n be the new 2^n MHz hype of the 90s?
this is definitely more advanced than GPT3, and was trained differently in a few meaningful ways

#13So err, this whole IT thing has been nice for the last decades. Maybe we have another decade until it can handle its own fingers...
It really can't and it doesn't really work the way you think it does which is ironic that you'd think people on this site would be informed but I guess ycombinator has a financial conflict of interest in doing so. I wouldn't be surprised if they make posts on this topic with a very heavy bias like they do for a lot of their own investments.
I remember being shown this software almost a decade ago in dealing with chat in online video gaming and it ended becoming a serious conversation at the ACM SIG CHI about it's use and abuse for spreading certain things. At the end of the day, we realized it was an arms race and the only way to win, was to simply not play. But of course these ideas were rejected for it went against the financial interests of the parties involved.

#14I can see how Google could use something like that to turn from a search engine into an answer engine, selling ads on its home page and hiding all the current search results into a references section. If they won't do it, someone else will and kill Google outright.
Oh, but there is a world of difference between answering questions based on neural memory and being able to bind these answers to actual references and sources. That being said, something like what you described will likely happen.

It does seem to be the future, but, at the moment, it's very unreliable. The worst thing is that it's all said with confidence and it would be very hard to know when things are wrong unless you already know.
For example: Q. How many people spoke French in pre-revolutionary France?
A. It is difficult to determine the exact number of people who spoke French in pre-revolutionary France. The population of France at the time was approximately 26 million, and the vast majority of people spoke French as their first language.
Wikipedia: It is estimated that at the time of the French Revolution in 1789, only half of the population of France could speak French, and as late as 1871 only a quarter spoke French as their native language.
Also, the population of France on the eve of the Revolution was about 28 million.

The point is not what we (techies) think about the usefulness of ChatGPT. The point is that managers will definitely think ChatGPT is worth doing... Just like they think Jira/Scrum/Agile/etc. is worth our time. I definitely see management paying for ChatGPT.

#17siiiigh If this is GPT-3, what could GPT-4 do? Would GPT-n be the new 2^n MHz hype of the 90s?
Oh, that pattern of hype’s already been doing the rounds since GPT-3 first came out — people imagining GPT-4 and GPT-5 for short sci-fi stories about the late 2020s and early 2030s, asking a question that dates at least as far back as a few centuries BC with Jewish folklore about humans creating golems: can the work of our human hands and minds ever itself be a person?
I’ve been playing with it. It’s very impressive, it’s not merely regurgitating quotations like Google, it get things horribly wrong just enough to be noticeable (but on most topics you actually need to be a domain expert to even know that; so the software developers are generally the only ones who see the buggy code, the lawyers are generally the only ones who see the bad law, the mathematicians are generally the only ones who see what’s wrong with the proofs, and so on).
Definitely doesn’t feel like either a human nor the computer in Star Trek. Can’t quite manage long-range coherency. But very, very impressive despite that.

It has value only if you know what it is talking about, thus it can only assist.
If you ask it about AWS - you need to already know AWS, same with business etc.
And if you can't make your own elevator pitch - the odds that you will be able to run a successful company are little to none.
Website builders and ready-to-use templates have been around for decades and they only increased the demand for devs.
Even if GPT will be able to produce complete system from start to end - those systems will need support, fixes, etc. Sure you will need less engineers per system but the amount of systems will increase.
