Good for you! If you don't want to learn new tools, you shouldn't.
Tools? Nah. I would not trust that stuff for anything, not even a recipe on how to make plain bread. A good old Google search followed by reasoning on what you have found is still the most valuable tool. Learn to sift through information, filter, ingest.

I get your point. I think it would bother me that's it's a robot/machine vs a real human, but that's just me. The same way that venting to my pet is somewhat cathartic but not very much compared to doing the same at my SO/parents/friends.
I don't disagree with you. It feels somehow wrong to engage in theory of mind and the concomitant effects on your personality with an AI owned by a corporation. If OpenAI wished to, they could use it for insidious manipulation.

Plus, even if it is just regurgitating top links, if is something you can ask a question and then go to another tab to do something for a minute and then come back and there is exactly what you asked. Ignoring ads, you still have to comb through so much text of information that is, at that time, uesless to your needs when you go to any of those top links. Plus, GPT is likely pulling from multiple sources at once and…
But it's a paid service requiring your phone number, vs free google search! As I mentioned in another post, When I asked ChatGPT who the author of a particular published book from 2015 was, it confidently made up the author's name. Google correctly answered with the right author's name when asked the exact same question. GPT doesn't have my trust, and I'm not sure why so many are throwing money, and their phone numbe…

This seems very plausible to me. The context window improved a lot between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, and OpenAI clearly see value in increasing it further.
Explain how it improved. Yes, it has improved accuracy (test taking) but it still gets stuck in the same loops over and over: "response has issue A" -> point out issue A to GPT "response has issue B" -> point out issue B to GPT GPT replies with the response that had issue A ... This is not a tool that is going to be good at performing generic tasks. It just isn't.
Specifically, I was using this to support the statement "In very near future your IDE will send the whole codebase as context to LLMs." I'm not talking about loops or accuracy.
This week I wrote and filed a complete patent application for a side project of mine all by my own for the first time. I've done some patents in the past but those were through my employers and using patent attorneys to do the drafting. For most of the technical text drafting ChatGPT proved to be overchallenged, however it was a phenomenal help answering dozens of questions that I had about specific wordings, goals,…
I created 2 main components:
- Login with Github flow that saved the users username + organizations to a Google Sheet
- Signing a message and verifying the signature is correct.
Both I'd estimate would have taken me ~10 hours to implement (20 hours total, I'd never done either task before). With the help of GPT4 it took ~4 hours, so a 5x speed improvement.
The code it gives is pretty similar to what you'd find reading a tutorial or stack overflow questions, it just tailors it more to my use case.

i think most people will just keep programming the way they do, and the AI hype will mostly die down. People have been saying that C++ is dead for decades, yet here I am writing code in it with a big community of others who do, too.
I'm using GPT to write C++ code for me. I've never worked in C++ before. It's going very well. I'll describe what a class is supposed to do. It spits out the class files, with the fiddly bits 'left as an exercise to the reader'. I then describe the fiddly methods separately, and it spits those out too. There's still work to be done, but anything boring is handed to me on a plate.

What makes the OpenAI product so much better is an ability to maintain focus. Yes, it lies (or confabulates, hallucinates), but we’ve been seeing the same from Google Search results too for years now by it pushing sites that deliver more ads than content.
Data Flambulation Coefficient (DFC)
Unveiling the groundbreaking Data Flambulation Coefficient (DFC), a novel concept that redefines how we perceive and analyze the intricacies of our data. DFC evaluates the "entwining" of data, delving into the deep interconnectedness between seemingly unrelated data points. This sophisticated metric combines the principles of glomerosity and the innovative dinglemorf analysis, offering unparalleled insights into the underlying structures and patterns of complex datasets.
By leveraging the Data Flambulation Coefficient, businesses and researchers can reveal hidden nuggets of zibberfex and unriddle vast swathes of yaltrizite, leading to more robust decision-making and a competitive edge in data-driven landscapes. DFC is set to become a staple in data analytics, providing the means to unlock the full potential of data's intertwined narratives.
I'm trying to use GPT to help me (and others) manage recruiting emails and the job search process. Right now, every time you start looking for a job, you start from scratch. Review old emails, search for relevant job boards, check HN, check LinkedIn, etc. The goal is to use GPT to automate outbound to companies to find you potential opportunities that match your preferences. Basically a GPT-powered recruiter for ever…
I tried to sign up but the only option is to sign in with Google which I don't want to do. Can I not just give you my email address?
What email provider do you use?
