It’s only as good as the information it harvested. In a space where less true information is available, the results would be quite poor.
There are already ways of dynamically populating the context of the model with information retrieves as text embeddings from a vector store, based on the initial prompt. This way you can feed the model current and correct information which it will weave into its output

> Perhaps you have issues with reading comprehension? This is a thread about how chatGPT is being sold as a service to analyze legal documents No it is not
Certainly my posts were and it's a mystery as to what point you think you are achieving by trying to debate something with me that I was never discussing
Directly addresses your concerns

> So what happens if you now trust it to write firmware for some difficult old timey hardware that nobody understands anymore. How well would anyone do? Would you trust me?
You should see who they hire to write firmware. I wouldn’t trust them with my cable box.
Hire me

I have the same experience with it, it's very useful, especially when you are unsure about what to even look for. I have a few theories I suspect it's just a bias we have, most people aren't doing or creating anything, they aren't solving problems or learning new things constantly like engineers do, so chatgpt feels useless to them. Or perhaps the problems we want to talk or learn about are just easier for an ai to a…

I asked it if it could help with my anxiety regarding to my first therapy session it gave me an actionable 6 steps plan to help me reduce my anxiety by actively preparing for that dreaded first session. Not only I am less stressed about that session but I am also a lot more prepared and likely to benefit from it.
If it was available purely offline I would probably replace the therapy with chatGPT entirely, but I dont trust the great AI in the cloud, it whit something I would not share in a forum so no robot psychotherapist for me, not yet at least ...
I would greatly appreciate a moratorium on this genre of article until there is compelling accompanying evidence that a meaningful portion of ChatGPT's users are unaware of these shortcomings. I have yet to encounter or even hear of a non-technical person playing around with ChatGPT without stumbling into the type of confidently-stated absurdities and half-truths displayed in this article, and embracing that as a lim…
it "could be wrong" has had next to no bearing on its social utility .
> Can you really trust an encyclopedia anyone can edit? Well, yes and no -- it's a bit like a traditional encyclopedia in that way.
> The key point to observe is that two decades on, we're still using it, a lot, and the trite observation that it "could be wrong" has had next to no bearing on its social utility. Nor have repeated observations to that effect tended to generate much intellectually stimulating conversation.
I had a detailed conversion with chatGPT about how to gracefully handle terminating conditions of a rust program. It summarized cogently to register at_exit()’s for each thread, panic handlers, and register signal handlers. It advised and explain in detail on my query about the thread handling for each of these variants, gave really helpful advice on collecting join handles in a closure on the main thread and waiting…

When I got out of school I went to work for Oracle and decided to read the database manuals, even though I wasn't working on database stuff. When I left I read other database manuals and was able to help people code database stuff, not because I was a real database expert, but because I had read the manuals and they hadn't. I think something similar is going on here? For some subjects and some questions, ChatGPT acts…
I was actually literally thinking about that as I worked on my solo project. This is like a coworker I can ask questions of and bounce ideas off of. It actually gives some insightful ideas. I was working on a file rotation scheme and it suggested naming the files uuid_ _ with the intent that resolution conflicts won’t need to be walked very often if ever optimizing the common case of file.0, file.1, etc. This isn’t l…

I was surprised to find ChatGPT does a better job of translating than Google translate, at least for one difficult task I needed to get done. I have been a Google Translate user for more than a decade. I use it a dozen or more times a day for multiple languages. It is a very useful tool. I recently had to translate a passage that included this phrase: 六六大顺 Google Translate gave me: Liuliu Dashun (basically no transla…
I wonder, does it get the meaning of "10-4" when translating English to other languages?
GPT Chat: 10-4 is a phrase commonly used in radio communication that means "message received and understood." It is typically used to acknowledge a message or request.
Google does too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code
Two things are correct at the same time: * ChatGPT can make mistakes very confidently * ChatGPT is incredibly useful in a way that no other tool has ever been, with a jump in effectiveness for natural language interaction that is mindblowing
we have other tools which are effective, but in a very limited domain
we have other tools which are effective, but need a very choreographed detailed INPUT.

Yes - from the examples I've seen, it appears that we're heading towards the Star Trek bridge computer. Even back in the days when TNG aired I don't think anyone really considered the computer "intelligent", just extremely capable and with a magical ability to fill in the blanks while also having a perfect memory for facts. Even without true intelligence (whatever that really is), there is no denying that having your…
