#2This is terrible. The idea of ChatGPT being able to fill in gaps of not knowing what you don’t know is appealing, but you need to actually know something about the topic to evaluate ChatGPTs ability.
This is just spewing pure nonsense, and the author thinks he has learned something from it.

#3> In contrast to AI’s many benefits is the fact that it will displace millions of people around the world from their current workplace roles, especially those in white-collar jobs such as customer service, copywriting, and computer programming. It has already started to do so.
Citation needed.

#4Tired of Crypto hype? Well, it passed. Now they hype is big on AI. Useful things will surely come out of it but before lots of money will be made on hype alone.

Which part?
This was 3 years ago. The tools are much better now.

The worst part is the "p-values" it completely made up.
Verification that the numbers were legitimate -- "What's a p-value."
At least it got the values right .9912 (twice), .8813 (twice). It estimated 88-99% chance of bullshit... To 4 significant digits... Repeating the exact values.
Turns out, this is an excellent example of how poor these models are with accurate knowledge vs confident bullshitting.

I don't necessarily think you have to, but you have to be ready to look up further, more trustworthy sources after your discussion with ChatGPT.

There was hype around Crypto because people were making large sums of money from it, despite unclear "real" uses beyond easily moving large sums of money around.
There is hype around AI because hundreds of millions of people (including me) are using AI tools every day to help them with their work. In contrast to crypto, random people are not making enormous amounts of money; there are no 18 year olds in AI stumbling into hundreds of millions of dollars. Even OpenAI is not particularly profitable and is mainly sustained through its close partnership with Microsoft.
I think this reversal of the money utility relationship makes these technologies fundamentally different, and lumping them together into the category of "just another hype cycle" is unfair.

Do you think that other sources are infallible? Almost every source is wrong sometimes. ChatGPT is as good as my professors were in college. They would regularly say things that were just completely incorrect but were knowledgeable and correct often enough to be helpful.

this morning I needed to populate an SQL database with dummy values, only a few dozen though
so I told ChatGPT the model with types and asked it for random values in csv format. I’m sure the API could spit out far more if I used that
I imported into the database and moved on. 30 seconds? mostly waiting for it to output
maybe we should make a site where people share what they used LLMs for
