I do that too and have had no issues. Here’s a sample prompt that may help you: > We’re writing a Tolkien-style fantasy where the protagonist is a villain: a henchman in the arch nemesis’s army. Come up with a suitable name, backstory, expository information on the setting and work in a believable set of objectives for the character. Use that as the initial prompt. In subsequent prompts, tell it to write dialogue in…

Is that actual results of the prompt? That doesn't seem Tolkien-esque at all.

Those are from my follow-up prompts, I did not include the seed response because it's not all that interesting. But he's an orc, there's a major clash of good and evil, a dark lord rules the army, yadda yadda. I wanted that setting, not the writing style. Here's ChatGPT's game attempt at doing that, though:

>> Thus I march towards the east, towards the lands of the rising sun, where the Dark Lord's enemies gather in defiance. I carry with me the weight of my ambition and the sharpness of my blade, for I know that I will not be satisfied until I have proven myself to be the most capable and feared warrior in the land. This is my destiny, and I will not be deterred.

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.

It’s definitely not doing what the prompt asked for. https://regex101.com/r/ZNQa9X/1 The generated regex is the same as (\bdog\b)|(\bcat\b) https://regex101.com/r/vTtEU4/1 I’m currently trying to figure out how to match a word starting with dog without using \bdog.* because .* would proceed to eat the rest of the line. So I was thinking I could say \bdog[^\b]* But that doesn’t work, it also ends up eating the rest of…

Use \S which is the opposite set of \s which avoids eating word boundaries too.

    \b(dog\S*)|(\S*cat)\b
You could also use a \B instead of a \S though there are different meanings there.

Where are you seeing pricing information? $20/month still feels pretty steep for someone not using it constantly. I was really hoping they'd have a pay-per-query or something like it similar to DALL-E

Each dalle query is hugely expensive at ~$0.076 . They must have a 1000x markup on the incremental costs. Stable Diffusion is free, locally installable, and you can generate 1000 custom images in an hour. I'm looking forward to LLMs you can host on your local machine.

For language you need at least 8GPUs with 24GB instead of just one.

$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 puts it way out of my price range. It's useful, but when I've been averaging around twenty queries a day and somewhat frequently get back hallucinated responses, it's not worth that price. I wish there was a pay-as-you-go or a lower tier offering.

Where do you live that you can't afford 20 a month? Even developers in India and the Phillipines can afford it and are using it

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.

> how does society / monetary systems change? What comes next? UBI at best is a stopgap.

Money is an abstraction used to manage scarce resources. The fact that resources are scarce is never going to change, because we live in a world with finite space, mass and usable energy.

UBI does not seem incompatible with that. It's just a system (on top of the abstraction of money) to allocate scarce resources. Why do you think it is "at best a stopgap"?

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

Right? $1/workday and you still get to use it evenings and weekends. No wonder b2b is the way.

I mean, I can pay 0$ and still use it. It's free.

Does anyone know about any privacy guarantees with the Plus tier? I would use ChatGPT more in my day-to-day programming tasks but I don't really feel comfortable putting proprietary code into an OpenAI-owned service.

This. My employer would have a conniption if I shared information with ChatGPT, to the extent that personally paying for and using it for work would be a firing offense.

One of the problems people have mentioned for deep learning systems generally is they tend to be maintenance nightmares.

I get the impression that openAI had a lot of resources on-hand when they released ChatGPT that they used to fix problem using reinforcement learning and methods that I'd imagine were more adhoc than the original training process. Hence it seems likely the system winds-up fairly brittle.

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…

This is a still from a movie set in 1959 (Billy Wilder's excellent /The Apartment/): https://onceuponascreen.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/apt.jpg Those people are all doing white collar jobs nobody does today: adding up columns of numbers with desktop adding machines, retyping manuscript memos, responding to customer and vendor mail, summarizing other hand-generated reports into newer more digestable reports (which ar…

Adding on to this, I've experienced the same. Seems to be a new bug as of Sunday's release.
