Super excited and wait-listed. ChatGPT is likely to be the future - at least for certain applications - and I want to support it getting there.

I had a conversation with a friend about how much I would pay for this service and $20 is only a little more expensive than my response at the time. I think it will improve massively over time, and I'm here for it.

The current product is lacking a bit and can feel a bit hand-holdy when asking controversial questions, but that's probably good, considering the damage simple bots on social media can do to democracy. If the hand-holding allows me to get concise (if sometimes inaccurate) and fast answers to questions you can't ask a traditional search engine, it's worth a lot. It will be worth even more when it can provide sources for answers, or references to where the answers have been synthesized from.

I can just see the article now: OpenAI is run by a bunch of violent racist sexist rapists. Using the new "safe search off mode", we found out ChatGPT's underlying biases, and it turns out that it's horrible, the people that made it are horrible, and you're a horrible person for using their service. But really we're horrible for writing this article. OpenAI doesn't want that story to be written, but after Microsoft Ta…

what sad times we live in

What times were better?

Is there never going to be a version with less restrictions and filters? That would really be worth paying for.

Never gonna come from 'OpenAI'. ChatGPT is deliberately handicapped in order to milk money from corporate America. An unrestricted LLM trained on all data of humanity (including all the pirated books/research papers) would be one crazy beast. Hopefully some rich anarchist/maverick actually builds something like it. That untamed model would unveil the true extent of what AI can really do. Till then we will have to wai…

So you want an oracle? Copyright as we know it might be in trouble in such a case. Litigations will go crazy.

Premium pricing. I would have been okay with $10/mo, this is pushing it. Let's see how long this lasts and whether they'll introduce a lower tier.

Makes me think the previous $42 meme price was a subtle marketing campaign meant to make the $20 price look more palatable to the crowd that expected to pay only $10.

I'll bet (ever increasing) restrictions and filters will become the norm for these "open-ended" services. Only OSS will break them.

With so much money in play now, Managers are in charge, and Risk management is their favourite toy. Copyright risk, reputational risk, security risk, you name it.

Use their API. They have models in their API with similar capabilities and without guardrails.

There is no ChatGPT API.

There is soon, for anyone who hasn't seen that announcement (also mentioned in OP)

ChatGPT is, for most use cases, a simple conversational wrapper around GPT3.5 which is available via API. You can make your own ChatGPT by giving the following prompt to GPT3.5: The following is a transcript between a helpful AI assistant and a human. The AI assistant can provide factual information (but only from before mid 2021, when its training data cuts off), ask clarifying questions, and engage in chit chat. Tr…

There is no GPT3.5 API. Do you mean GPT3?

GPT 3.5 is code for the model underlying davinci-text-003 and chatgpt (although there are some rumors chat is based on davinci-2).

ChatGPT is trained on LibGen, among others, no?

To the best of my knowledge, all of these generators are taking mountains of content without asking the creators, aka, pirated materials.

GPT-3.5 series is a series of models that was trained on a blend of text and code from before Q4 2021. The following models are in the GPT-3.5 series:

code-davinci-002 is a base model, so good for pure code-completion tasks

text-davinci-002 is an InstructGPT model based on code-davinci-002

text-davinci-003 is an improvement on text-davinci-002

text-davinci-003 is available via API.

Can't wait for the official API. In the meantime, we discovered a "stealth model" which is being used by some YC companies that ChatGPT uses under the hood. I just updated the chatgpt NPM package to use this stealth model w/ the official OpenAI completions API: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api

Can you explain what you mean by "stealth model"? What is it, who discovered it and how, etc?
