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.

I had a partner that was being charged about 8k$ to solve a ruby problem that copilot answered with a couple of prompts (took a couple of hours but still..) I'm pretty certain that unless you are in machine learning, your job will be replaced soon enough

You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?

No. I'm a salaried employee. Marginal time/effort savings do not directly translate into more money for me. But the $20 charge hits my bank account today. Perhaps if I use it consistently enough and in smart enough ways I will be perceived to be a more valuable/productive employee, which might translate to a raise. But that's a lot of maybes. I'm sure it will get to that point eventually, but by then the value will b…

Can you ask your boss to expense it?

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…

As a reader of people's paragraphs, please don't. Stick to bullet points.

$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…

It's going to hit so unevenly. My partner works with children at a homeless shelter, I'm an algorithm designer. I'm certain my job will be obsolete before my partner's is. It's going to automate away nearly all pure desk jobs. Starting with data entry, like you've seen, but it'll come for junior SDEs and data scientists too. Customer service, then social media/PR, then marketing, as it culls the white collar. Graphic…

If it replaces juniors, then it hopefully can replace seniors because you wouldn't find any of them after some time.

This is not the very first iteration. Watson, an LLM, won jeopardy years ago. This stuff has been in progress for a very long time

This is a great benchmark, in that it's widely available, user friendly, and competent enough that people are finding new use cases for it. I don't want to take away from how great it is- it is phenomenal, but it's one of many big benchmarks in AI

I strongly doubt the UBI part as it goes against the "religion" of Wall Street and most politicians.

Ok then what? I keep saying what I said to my dad 10 years+ back - once we automate ALL jobs out of existence be that 10 years or 100 years from now, how does society / monetary systems change? What comes next? UBI at best is a stopgap.

Yes, it's time to really start thinking about that. I'm excited for the future, afraid for us , without a plan. Also I think most people will hand wave this away "It'll never happen to me".

Very fun question to think about, if there are no more "jobs", what does society look like.

> And it's cheaper than $20/month,

Since the $20/month is for priority access to new features and priority access including during high-load times, not API access (a separatr offering not yet available), I don't understand the cost comparison. What you are proposing does not substitute for any part of the $20/month offering over the basic free product.

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…

What is the expected format of the transcript? Would this work? Me: I'm feeling lonely Bot: I'm sorry Me: What should I do?

Any reasonable format will work. One of the great things about LLMs is they are very flexible on formats. Your suggested format of "Name: chat message\n" will work fine.

A good rule of thumb is that almost anything an average human can parse in a single linear pass can also be parsed by an LLM.

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…

The whole point of OpenAI in the first place is to get out ahead of those type of concerns. Do you want people like David Duke and the KKK pumping out copy with ChatGPT? Because if you don't have some type of filters, that's what you'll get. And if you decide to have _some_ filters, there's some line you have to decide on somewhere. For now, they're keeping it pretty G rated in the stuff your average knuckle dragger…

That is the plan? Burry Duke with non-Duke GPT spam? Like people read his books anyway?

In effect you will know that controversial topics are written by a human. Like a captcha for the "dead internet". Until a good enought open variant is made.
