My main use cases are: d&d prep, help re-writing important communications, some programming stuff. I'm sure I would use it even more if I got faster responses and I was paying for it.

Ok, I gotta ask: D&D Prep? If you're comfortable sharing more I'd love to hear it. I think this hits the sweet spot of my nostalgia for playing D&D and this being the first application that doesn't feel like an existential threat in some way :)

It is great for names: -Provide me with some names for a Frost Giant Clan. -Provide me with some names for a elf thieves guild.

Last session I had a corrupted unicorn that the players need to subdue to cleanse her. So I asked chatGPT for possible rituals that could be used to cleanse the corruption.

I also use it to come up examples of cons that npc's might try and pull and most recently a bunch of taunts that pixie's would sling at the group as they crossed the Whispering Woods.

It's great for doing easy work and for bouncing ideas off of to shore up storylines or to spark creativity.

And the biggest use case, flavor box text. - Describe a musty library with water damage. - Describe the players entering a peacefully glade that lets them know they can relax.

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…

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.

I often cited example is to write something in the style of "Dr. Suess". Doesn't this imply that Dr. Suess's books are in the training data set ? How can one find out what other books, screenplays, magazines, etc. are in the training data.

If it were packaged in a voice enabled and voice activated app in Android I'd pay no question asked. Typing sucks for conversational ai.

I imagine this will come soon unless they want someone to do it for them as an API user. They already have Whisper to do STT, and Microsoft Research has the SOTA TTS. They just need to package it up.

Our plans for the future We plan to refine and expand this offering based on your feedback and needs. ChatGPT, suggest plans and refinements to ChatGPT. I wonder what the recursion level limit is.

# ChatGPT, suggest plans and refinements to ChatGPT.

As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or desires. However, some possible ways to improve or refine ChatGPT could include:

* Fine-tuning the model on specific domains or tasks to increase its accuracy and relevance for those areas.

* Incorporating additional data sources and knowledge bases to enhance its understanding and responses.

* Using techniques such as active learning or human-in-the-loop methods to continually improve the model's performance based on real-world feedback.

* Exploring different model architectures or training methods to find the best balance between performance, efficiency, and computational resources.

* Integrating with other AI technologies such as reinforcement learning, generative models, or transfer learning to create new and innovative applications for ChatGPT.

# What do you think about the common complaint that ChatGPT lectures people on morality so frequently to the point of it being an ineffective tool?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions, but I can observe that some users may find it distracting or annoying if I provide moral or ethical lectures in my responses. However, providing guidance and advice on moral or ethical issues can also be seen as a valuable aspect of my abilities, as long as it is done in an appropriate and context-sensitive manner. Ultimately, it depends on the specific use case and the preferences of the individual user. If the frequency of moral or ethical lectures is found to be a problem, it might be possible to adjust the model's behavior or incorporate specific user preferences in its responses.

I've been using the GPT-3 playground for a few months, and it seems more powerful and a lot cheaper (at least for my moderate usage). You can still have a conversation with it just by appending new prompts to the bottom.

For those willing to pay $20 for ChatGPT+, could you share your rationale for choosing it over the above?

I've been using ChatGPT pretty consistently during the workday and have found it useful for open ended programming questions, "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text, etc. $20/month useful is questionable though, especially with all the filters. My "in between" solution has been to configure BetterTouchTool (Mac App) with a hotkey for "Transform & Replace Selection with Javascript". This i…

i used the same API but for an ios shortcut. it's not the same thing as chatgpt, as the completions api doesn't know about context. but it does feel a lot snappier. > have found it useful for open ended programming questions i have found it to be terrible when it comes to something simple, like constructing a regex.

WYDM exactly by iOS shortcut? I use a Mac but only an android phone. Do you mean for mobile usage?

> i have found it to be terrible when it comes to something simple, like constructing a regex.

Oh yeah, agreed. It's not good for super specific stuff like that. But more like, I write a weird loop and ask if there is a more idiomatic way to do the above. Or I just describe what I want to do and say, "list three options for accomplishing that". It's great for "feature discovery" essentially. I find it complementary to copilot.

$20 seems reasonable. I wonder how are they going to deal with "unreasonable intensive usage" aka people/companies offering "AI" in their products when in reality they just act as a proxy between people paying them ( sometimes a lot of money ) and OpenAI.

$20 is the very first price tier introduced at the very outset of what could be one of the most powerful companies of our generation. Google.com adding a single yellow box with an advertisement seemed reasonable, too.

Anyone else having serious concerns about the direction this is going? At my wife's company they have already largely replaced an hourly data classification job with ChatGPT. This announcement is the first in an inevitable series of moves to monetize a technology that directly replaces human knowledge work. I'm not saying that those jobs need to be artificially protected or that painful changes should be avoided (basically all tech workers automate human work to some extent) but I'm really concerned about the wealth gap and the extent to which we are pouring gas on that fire. Income inequality looks just like it did before the Great Depression, and now we're handing the power to replace human work over to those who can afford to pay for it.

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.

I thought the same when I got midjourney last week for $30/month... and here I am loving it. Wife and I use it all the time. I can see myself picking this one up as well and probably dropping Netflix finally.

I'm really really curious how you use midjourney on a daily basis... I can see playing with it for novelty value, but after that... what?

I'm sure it's a failure of imagination on my part, but when you say you might drop Netflix in favor of using the ai generator tools, my interest is piqued! What's your average play session like?
