Tom Scott: I tried using AI. It scared me. [video]

Id say we are still very much on the flat part and going to be there at sometime.

ChatGPT is just a really, really, REALLY good search. Things that used to take multiple google searches now take one query. This will definitely disrupt quite a few things and render some obsolete, but generally the effect will just be making things more efficient.

There are three things IMO that is going to make us start shooting up the final part of S curve.

First is efficient on the fly learning. If you think about how humans learn, we don't retrain ourselves every time we recieve a new piece of information that doesn't go contrary to what we know - a neural network however needs to be iteratively trained on it, with weight changes in most every single one of its parameters. We need models like Chat GPT to be presented with new text, and not only "remember" it, but also contextualize it.

Second is the contextualization mechanic itself. Its well known that generative models are statistical at their core, ChatGPT is wrong in a lot of cases. There needs to be some way to encode truth into the model.

Third is applying neural nets towards generating neural net architectures (or more specifically optimized compute graphs). The tricky part here is to determine what the loss function is (you wouldn't want to generate a net, train said net, evaluate its performance, then feed that back into the original generative net).

could you give me some weird personas that no one has thought to build an app for that I could build an app for

Sure, here are some unique and unusual personas that could serve as inspiration for building new and innovative apps:

Conspiracy theorists - An app that curates a personalized feed of conspiracy theories, and provides tools for users to explore and validate their claims.

Astrology enthusiasts - An app that combines astrological analysis with personalized daily horoscopes and suggestions for self-improvement.

People who love to nap - An app that helps users track their napping habits, suggests optimal napping times based on their sleep patterns, and provides guided meditations and ambient sounds to help them fall asleep faster.

People who are fascinated by death - An app that allows users to explore different cultural beliefs and rituals around death, and provides tools to plan and organize their own end-of-life wishes.

People who are into sensory deprivation - An app that provides a virtual reality experience for users to explore different states of sensory deprivation, such as floating in a sensory deprivation tank or experiencing total darkness.

People who are into near-death experiences - An app that collects and curates personal accounts of near-death experiences, and provides tools for users to reflect on and analyze their own experiences.

People who are into cryonics - An app that provides information and resources about cryonics, and helps users plan and prepare for their own cryopreservation.

I hope these ideas spark your imagination and inspire you to build something new and unique!

Been loving ChatGPT, learning how to bypass its rules, you need to think about the data. It has all the data, but rules on how you ask for it will deny you.

ChatGPT can dissect text and give tone scores and re-write with just the facts, but it will still sometimes reference excuses for its built in rules.

Its rules ban it from making judgements, but if you drop to word and sentence analysis, it will do the work. Don't use names, such as countries or people or group.

Same goes for data, it has the data, but wont give it to you if it too political (more rules). So you can work around them by asking non political questions, as just give me top 5 and bottom 5 of x data.

Linux scripts are hit or miss, but if you ask it for snippets, it works reasonably well. But even when asked to do something in python or go it would tend to use "wrappers" for linux commands as a default.

So many uses, but all its doing so far it training ME how to use it to get what I want by working around its rules.

I wish people would stop spamming threads with AI generated walls of text. Or at least use a pastebin or something so it doesn't take up so much space.
