I'm extremely worried. This tech is going to replace a lot of jobs in the next 10-20, including ours ( software ). And if not replace, it's going to cut the available positions drastically . We already have a great divide between those with money and those without and this is a nuclear bomb about to go off. Without any sort of UBI or social safety nets, this is going to be a true disaster.

Ah ok so just most software developers.

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…

Wow, I just implemented this in BTT and it's amazing how quickly it's become an indispensable tool. Just highlight any text I type and get the "answer" to it. Thanks for the tip!

The few times chatgpt has not been at capacity it has given me wrong answers. I'll keep my $20.

You can't have used it much or intentionally baited it to prove your preconceived notion that ChatGPT sucks.

You realize that near human-level AI for $20/month is a bargain in a country where typical mobile phone plan is $25+, and is basically universally affordable?

Universally affordable? Here's two data points for you, minimum wage in Zambia is 13 USD per month, in India it's 65 USD per month.

The person above was talking about Great Depression, implying US.

I am fully aware of the situation outside it.

That sounds awesome. I'm not worried things will sort itself out, just like happened with the industrial revolution. There will be some initial friction but in the long run it will be a massive net positive for humanity. Why should we waste manpower on something a machine can do?

Lots of people went hungry during the industrial revolution, couldn't get a job people starved. It's going to be awesome for those looking back on it, for us living through it ... it's going to suck.

You underestimate how powerful it already is. Have you tried Copilot or coding with ChatGPT? If this is the very first iteration it won't be long before many developers are fully replaced.

Aren't they just as likely to go sideways and build exactly the wrong thing? If all else fails a lot of a software dev's day to day will be a Chat wrangler where we still need the skills to determine why it's going wrong, which is a big part of the dev skill stack. Maybe it'll make us more productive, but in my experience, the software building doesn't stop until budget runs out. They'll still need devs.

Try asking code-davinci-002 instead of text-davinci-003. curl https://api.openai.com/v1/completions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \ -d '{ "model": "code-davinci-002", "prompt": "##### Create a regular expression to match words starting with 'dog' or ending with 'cat'.\n \n### Java Code", "temperature": 0, "max_tokens": 182, "top_p": 1, "frequency_penalty": 0, "pres…

Pretty sure that regexp is wrong though? Wouldn’t having ‘\b’ on both sides match beginning AND end? It’s got the parenthesis for the ‘|’ in the wrong place.

Yep. But it gave straight up code rather than trying to persuade a natural language LLM to write code.

The regex I was expecting would be

    "\\b(dog.*)|(.*cat)\\b"
The key point is to ask the code model. Part of what ChatGPT does is it appears to categorize the question and then may dispatch it to the code model. If you know you have a code question, asking the code model first would likely be more productive and less expensive.

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.

Sounds like fun doesn't it?

$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 fi…

I imagine that in a couple of years it will be possible to buy a model and run your own on your own hardware. The space requirements are not out of the world and the cost seems bearable for companies.

Sure, you'll be able to run GPT-3 at home, at a time when ProMaxGPT-5++ is out.
