AI bootstrapping AI is a sci-fi trope that goes back decades. I first encountered it in The Cybernetic Samurai while in high school. While the details differ, the reality is that AI is a catalyst for more of itself. I don't remember many books where this ends particularly well. Perhaps the Culture universe could be a survivable outcome. Hopefully we don't get Berzerkers first.

If you use consciousness as a baseline, the intellectual difference between a grade schooler and a PhD is tiny.

This is what I think comparing these bots is like. You can argue that they’re very close. But the delta makes a very big difference for any practical purposes because we’re looking for nuanced capability.

ChatGPT API is surprisingly cheap, but GPT-4 is many times more expensive to the point where I can't see it being worth it most of the time.

I'm not convinced that the GPT-4 API actually works? It's been giving me very different answers than the chat interface. For example, the chat interface says it's GPT-4 if you ask it, but the API says it's GPT-3 (and bills as GPT-4).

Has the ChatGPT-4 “system” prompt been revealed?

I couldn't do it either as I have no idea what Animorphs or Duel are.

That's ok, just ask ChatGPT to explain them to you.

ChatGPT 4 input:

> Can you give separate summaries of the Animorphs book series and the film Duel?

The reply:

> Animorphs Book Series Summary: The Animorphs series, written by K.A. Applegate, is a popular young adult science fiction book series spanning 54 books and several companion novels. The story revolves around five teenagers—Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, and Marco—who are granted the power to morph into any animal they touch by a dying alien named Elfangor. The teens, known as the Animorphs, use their new abilities to battle an evil alien race called the Yeerks, who are secretly invading Earth by taking control of humans' minds. Throughout the series, the Animorphs learn about the complexities of war, friendship, and sacrifice as they try to save humanity from the Yeerk invasion.

> Duel Film Summary: Duel is a 1971 television movie directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the short story by Richard Matheson. The film follows a mild-mannered traveling salesman named David Mann (played by Dennis Weaver), who unwittingly finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse on a remote California highway. Mann is pursued by a mysterious and relentless tanker truck driver, who seems determined to kill him for no apparent reason. With escalating tension and suspense, the film delves into themes of fear, paranoia, and the primal fight for survival. Duel is notable for being Spielberg's directorial debut, showcasing his skillful storytelling and unique visual style that would later become hallmarks of his career.

While that's true, it's basically inevitable now that at some point personal hardware will be powerful enough for enthusiasts to run home bots comparable to GPT-3, and even that by itself would drastically change a lot things.

Governments can ban powerful devices, as they can ban guns, bombs, and such.

Only at a price. If you ban devices powerful enough to run ChatGPT, you ban a big chunk of what powers your economy.

Given the high prices of OpenAI offerings it seems it’s better to pirate an AI model before resorting to paying for anything.

The world is becoming more cyberpunk everyday, people making back alley deals for data or models. These weights are shit man, they have been quanted w/o being retrained against the original. I already have this torrent, I want uncut originals. And no water marks this time, the last model wouldn't shutup about investing in tulips.

Shh, I got some unnerfed midjourney v8 for your nsfw needs, my friend...

Hmm, you think that's what makes a difference? It might be, though I've gotten different (what I find worse) results on other questions as well.

I wonder if they will add "chatgpt it" or "gpt it" to the dictionaries
