Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the ChatGPT prompt engineer position at your company. I am highly qualified for this role, with extensive experience using ChatGPT. I have been using ChatGPT for over two years in my current role as a natural language processing engineer. In this position, I have been responsible for developing and maintaining a variety of ChatGPT-based systems, including chatbots, langu…

This is terrible. Spam will be terrible. The internet infrastructure for interperson communication will be dead as it works today.

You will never know of you write to e.g. a sales rep or a bot if the conversation is shallow.

Support call centers will be decimated to bot chats.

Thankfully the bot does not speak my language so I can watch the shitshow from the other side the fence.

I 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.

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 t…

To be fair, Wikipedia also “speaks with confidence” and makes no attempt to make it easy to understand exactly how confident one should be in the facts presented. At one point they had said the would, but never did to my knowledge. Google has TrustRank, but to my knowledge it’s on a source-level basis, not fact-level basis.

So 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.

While it's never going to replace the man behind the machine.

It still seems highly likely that "stitching libraries together" development workflows in 10-15 years will involve large amounts of copy-editing the output of large language models.

The trajectory of improvements, from GitHub Copilot to ChatGPT, is too steep.

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.

It's also not about how good ChatGPT is now.

How good will ChatGPT be in 5 years?

It's scary to imagine.

Whatever you saw a decade ago, it definitely wasn’t this.

I do recommend you play with it. But if you don’t feel like signing up with their free account, here’s a screen recording of me asking it some random general knowledge questions and instructing it to use a different language in the response each time: https://youtu.be/XX2rbcrXblk

I am pretty sure we will soon see job ads seeking for ChatGPTops engineers. I think I will ask ChatGPT to write job description for such role.

Must have at least 5 years GPT experience.

I could have said this on any ChatGPT post the last few days, but I'm simply not seeing the accuracy of it in such a way that anything is threatened.

ChatGPT is a plausible idiot. It gets just enough right, saying just enough words, to sound plausible and authoritative to anyone who doesn't know the subject matter well. But it also gets enough wrong that you cannot rely on its accuracy, and if it is talking about a subject you know well it is sometimes laughable how wrong it is.

It is impressive. But not trustworthy.

Are you sure the bot doesn't speak your language?

I tried Hungarian, which is only spoken by 10 million people, and it's speaking it great.

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 wi…

just to verify the code for an enterprise sized system is likely going to take longer than building it.

Also consider how long it takes you to bake a feature into code you have never seen before to code that you wrote.
