you've got to be joking mate. >Google has “understood” English queries you can't, with a straight face, be comparing a Google search to what ChatGPT is doing. C'mon man. >In many cases it’s wrong. In many cases the result is below entry-level. Once again I'm baffled by this dismissal. I don't think you actually understand what you're seeing with ChatGPT. There is very interesting emergent behaviour occurring. Trying…

The advancement with these LLMs lies in the fact that they can effectively learn to recognize patterns within “large-ish” input text sequences and probabilistically generate a likely next word given those patterns. It’s a genuine advancement. However it is still just pattern matching. And describing anything it’s doing as “behavior” is a real stretch given that it is a feed-forward network that does not incorporate a…

>However it is still just pattern matching

the visual cortex in your brain is also "just a pattern matching" system. guess it's not very impressive by your standard.

This[1] isn't my example (it's from another HN user), but if you work as a programmer and you're not absolutely jaw on the floor astonished by this example then I don't know what to say.

Explaining[2] the emergent behaviour is literally cutting edge research. Hand waving this behaviour away as just "probabilistically generating a likely next word" is ignorant.

It's amazing in similar ways to Conway's Game of Life.

I’m always amazed at the dismissive comments recent AI advancement generates: it’s not really creation, a human would do much better, it’s getting old, etc Think about it for a second: a machine understood your request in plain English and executed it adequately, instantly and free.

This will be for real, when I can run this stuff at home. Stable Diffusion is there. But GPT-3 still has to be run on my behalf by a company that could pull the rug at any moment, or add more stuff that they don't approve of to their TOS. (You already can't use it for "sexy" content. Want help writing a love letter? Oh no, you're banned.) The "lighter" versions these text models that can be run at home aren't good en…

Software is only for real when you can run it on your home computer?

Google isn't for real yet?

Author says he was slow to get into AI because of his skepticism falling for the hype behind new technologies (like NFTs) but clearly also fell for the hype behind those technologies according to his past posts and Twitter.

It seems the author will jump on any tech bandwagon, so take this writing with a grain of salt.

(This isn’t a comment on AI, just on the credibility of the author)

There's a huge difference between utility software, especially utilities that are inherently network-based like "a search engine", and application software used for content creation.

Every time there is a post about AI, there are a fair amount of people commenting on the current status of AI. Yes I get that it look bad and needs heavy human interaction now, but what about in 1 year, or in 5 years? It's the acceleration of AI progress that we should all be worried about.

curious what the emergent behavior is. it's a massive hash lookup table at a scale never accomplished and then you can lookup recursively and such. then follows whether humans/consciousness is not also just a hash lookup. humans have emergent property of consciousness, so philosophy aside, what's currently emerginent in chatgpt?

this [1] should get you started. [1] https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/11/characterizing-emergent-ph...

thanks for earnest response!

You are definitely right that most code is banal and glue, and that is indeed why the models, or this one at least, seems to be best suited to regurgitate it and change the names of your variables. I guess I still don't see your main point though. There are plenty of tested and compliant style frameworks out there that have figured this stuff out, and they will do it better than whatever Stackoverflow example the AI…

Just sounds to me like you need a long vacation :)

Their sleeping on this is your opportunity.

Build something, scale it, raise capital.

The losers will wish they'd done the same.

I honestly think this is the biggest evolution of our field in our lifetimes (I was here for early web). I'm so excited and have already been building incredible stuff, and I'm saying that as someone who has had a decent career at top employers.
