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. If you can’t think how that will affect every aspect of UX and creative job I don’t know what to tell you. And that’s not even touching…

People said very similar things about RoR…

Me with not much background experience in programming not knowing what RoR stood for.

Me asking ChatGPT:

In this context, RoR most likely refers to Ruby on Rails, which is a web application framework written in the Ruby programming language. The second comment is suggesting that people had similar dismissive comments about Ruby on Rails (RoR) when it was first introduced, but it has since become a widely used and respected framework in web development. The comment implies that similar trends may apply to AI tools used for web design.

Although I wouldn't have employees, I would have a variety of people on fiverr that I would interact with and pay for a month or two and probably spend $1000 total. Most of the tasks being $50-$100 while one or two being the lions share of the costs

But even at those low prices the biggest thing for me is time

going back and forth on a 8 day delivery, the logo designer bottlenecking the website designer and explainer video creator

that alone makes the AI tools worth it to me, to not consider doing a contract with 5 people at all and having so many iterations across a few minutes or few hours

it is very likely that different specialists will just be on fiverr, delivering complex things for $20 in a matter of hours, instead of a craft for $350 one week later

Oh like Google Docs.

If Google Docs suddenly disappeared, everyone would just continue as usual, except that they now use MS Word or LibreOffice instead. If GPT-3 disappeared, what's the alternative?

Seems like you're changing the subject.

No he's not. That's exactly the point my original comment made. You have missed the point.

I feel like everyone is just playing devil's advocate. Almost every developer I know wants a native API or have the option of taking something out of the cloud. It's why paas died and docker as a service took over.

Google has understood English queries for years. Lately it has even been highlighting the answers you are looking for in the websites it shows. chatGPT is diferente but not far off.

Google doesn't do open ended reasoning.

It can't refine the tasks you give it based on a long conversation.

It can't take elaborate what-if scenarios and role play. Reasoning about multiple actors in interesting situations is light years ahead of Google.

Google can't write code, or translate code to a human language explanation of an algorithm.

There is more than a couple orders of magnitude difference in what is happening!

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…

You are comparing systems that generated completion text based on statistics and correlation with a system that now models actual complex functional relationships between millions of concepts, not just series of letters or words.

The difference is staggering.

It comes about because of the insane level of computational iterations (that are not required for normal statistical completion) mapping vast numbers of terabytes of data into a set of parameters constrained to work together in a way (layers of alternating linear combinations followed by non-linear compressions) that requires functional relationships to be learned in order to compress the information enough to work.

It is a profound difference both in methodology and results.

Pearl clutchers complaining about the bot that can do pretty much anything with only mediocre quality (so far) ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33846104 )

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.

Build something, pump it, raise capital, buy a house in Bahamas, declare bankruptcy, hire lawyers and hope for the best. :-)

I'm still baffled how so many people are willing to gloss over all the heavy lifting the user has to do to glue all this together. Organizing a project is still and always has been the majority of the work!

That "heavy lifting" of stitching, isn't usually where most of the time is spent.

Most projects involve vast time sucks related to many of the parts. All the subtasks that become mini projects of their own. Like creating even one original piece of artwork that you really like.

In this case, the mini projects got automated, transforming the main project into a mini project.

The quality/time improvement here is significant, even for a little project like this.
