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…

Oh you mean the one the NSA uses? Yeah for sure.

I don't know about your writer's block, but ChatGPT is amazing at going from a sentence or paragraph long description to getting to a single page long story, which is quite enough to get me unblocked. Yeah it won't write the whole book for you but where would the fun be in that?

It just... it writes badly, because of all this biasing. I find NovelAI more useful for getting over blocks, regardless of its much lower intelligence. At least at NAI I can edit its output.

Not discounting NovelAI, but you can also sign up for regular GPT3, which allows you to edit the output and generate new output based on that; as well as the option to have GPT insert text at a specified mark in the middle of a text, or have it edit text according to instructions (like "make it rhyme"). I think the regular GPT playground is a much better interface for prose than ChatGPT.

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…

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

People are so cheap it's ridiculous. If we ever get past people being unwilling to pay for software beyond rates of 1 cent per hour tech will blow up to 10x as big as it is right now.

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

Asimov theorized such an AI as Multivac (a joke from Univac) and wrote a number of short stories exploring how it would change the world. He had one short story in particular where one citizen would be called in front of Multivac and, based on their answers to Multivac's questions, Multivac would (accurately) infer who the winner of the presidential election should be, obviating the need for expensive elections to be…

You could do this now with Google search histories. Could have done it ten years ago

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?

I Midjourney to generate art for a stupid game I made: https://cards-seven-ebon.vercel.app/

I made it to level 9 :)

I was clicking so fast that I lost count of whether my previous click was the first or the second card flipped. I think it would play better if you only needed to get two consecutive ones right, rather than resetting after two guesses.

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.

Using a rock to pound a nail is free, but a hammer is still worth its cost.

This is one of those puzzling things to me. You own your life - why not spend your own money for the things that make you and your life better? Who cares? I worked at a job where I had a small, crappy monitor. I made decent cash. I just bought a large decent monitor and brought it into work. I ended up using it for many years. My life was significantly better. I've done that at several jobs since then, and NEVER regr…

I’ve always brought my chair, monitor and keyboard to office. But I found ChatGPT to be inconsistent for programming tasks, sometimes it’s just wasting my time.

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?

I'd like to pay for my usage. It's just that price is too high for my own limited usage. Not getting kicked into the waiting room for an hour every 2 queries is worth something to me.

What price do you think would be "worth it"? With your existing usage, $20/month would be $0.03-$0.04 per query, which seems pretty reasonable?

To be clear, I'm counting "every time I press submit" as a query. 3-4c to tell it "Your answer is clearly wrong because X, and Y" isn't very enticing.

Around $10/mo would be far more palatable, I don't mind if my usage is capped. I simply do not get $20/mo worth of value back out of it at this point. That's basically the price of 1 book/mo, and I'd get more value out of that.
