siiiigh 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
How was it different?

#42With ChatGPT, I would have convinced VCs to invest in my startup. Shame it got released 6 months too late.
Better late than never. Just jump in and see what this tool — pun intended — can provide you now and let go of the past.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's also not about how good ChatGPT is now. How good will ChatGPT be in 5 years? It's scary to imagine.
It’s also impossible to imagine correctly. Back in 2009, I was completely convinced that we’d be able to go into a car dealership and buy a brand new vehicle which had no steering wheel because the self-driving AI was just that good, within 10 years. Seemed reasonable at the time on the basis of the DARPA Grand Challenge results, but even 13 years later, it didn’t happen.
Yes, exactly.
There's also mathematically excellent reasons why that happened.
Self-driving cars are an impossibly complex problem.
Statistics are statistics.
Predicting the minority class correctly 99% of the time isn't good enough for autonomous driving. A car has to break for little Suzie 100% of the time.
However, generating 1,000 lines of code for a CRUD app? That's 99% bug free?
That's a helluva lot better than I can do.
As with all things. The solution is watch what the domain experts do.

#44I 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 s…
It's almost more astonishing to me to see reactions like yours. I showed it to a friend and she too was unimpressed because it gave answers in her field (finance) that were "good, but sortof basic".
So we have here a chat bot that pretty much passes for a human and some people react with "meh, it's not a genius". It makes me think of Tim Urbans chart: https://imgs.search.brave.com/YR7qt28AjhAeXSr_qvSmJubqIKJW5S...
Re: Using ChatGPT as a Co-Founder
#45The only people whose minds this is "blowing" are people who have never had to build or maintain question answering systems. ChatGPT is like having a bunch of 8 year olds who know how to use Google hanging around. Sure you can use them, and their skills might surprise u every now and then, but that has nothing to do with how much time you are going to waste on the answers they will get wrong.
OK, I get that you built such systems. Can you let us know about the other bots that can behave like a "8 years old"?

Well as someone who kinda bought into the hype that we would have self driving cars 3 years ago, I’d say beware of underestimating the importance of the size of the problem.
However, I agree with you in general: there’s a certain amount of surprise in laughing off the creation an AI agent that could pass as a reasonably intelligent person if it just weren’t straight up wrong about random things.

If you're in such position, you're probably ahead of the competition so don't think it's already late.

#48> How about the team - I need some minions to build this business.
very accurate co founder impression

It's not about "genius". It gets just enough wrong (like, completely wrong) that it's untrustworthy. It's really good if you're already familiar with the content, though (or you know its weak spots).

#50Is the only way to check this out to hand over my mobile number to a website I know nothing about, and who took my email and name before telling me of the phone requirement? Dodgy.
I'm surprised so many here have jumped in. "Sign up with email"... "ok, now verify email"... "SURPRISE! we won't let you in until you give us your mobile number".
