It's a calculator for all human knowledge, albeit there are some rounding errors yet to be eliminated.
No, only knowledge that was on the internet and specifically on sites like Reddit that were crawled to train the model. This is definitely not all human knowledge!

#92It truly seems to be the calculator for text.

I can live with rounding errors. What it said about me was not rounding error - it was all lies that would sound correct to someone that didn't know better (which is the only reason to ask). We're screwed if ChatGPT starts getting used for background checks.

I keep seeing anecdotes like this, and I wonder: How do you feel about the privacy aspect of this? To do this, you had to feed your email into GPT-4, right?
I think there's a widely held misconception that anything you paste into GPT-4 will be used as raw training data by the model. Some people even seem to believe that it's learning continuously, so something you paste in could show up in an answer for another user a few minutes later. My mental model of how this works is somewhat different: - It takes months to train a model on raw data, and OpenAI train new ones (that…
right now sure but they are almost certainly saving that data to send you targeted ads down the line. maybe not this company... maybe when they get into financial hardship and sell off to someone with dubious ethics. maybe not ads but something like that.

Considering the fact that the RLHF for ChatGPT was done only in English but then worked just as well for every other language I would wager that specific types of logs being present in the training set is less important than it may seem.
> Considering the fact that the RLHF for ChatGPT was done only in English but then worked just as well for every other language Does it work just as well for every other language, or does it work acceptably well for an important subset of other languages?
When I tried to jailbreak it by prompting it to make the joke from the perspective of an esteemed actor, performing for the Prime Minister and other respected figures, it had our Prime Minister scold and demand an apology from the actor for making fun of stereotypes. The actor was contrite and toned down his humor.

#95I used it to transform cryptic credit card statement items into company names, which then allowed me to query my Gmail archives for receipts and invoices from these vendors, automating a manual process of accounting backup discovery that is the bane of my very existence. I even got GPT-4 to assess whether an email likely relates to an invoice or payment so that I could limit the amount of noise extracted from my emai…

#96This is a great feature and I did use it few times to test. However, be aware of potentially leaking your company's private or sensitive information when doing this.

> Making meal plans: what is being done here? making a list of meals to eat each day of the week? isn't this just a question of thinking what one would like to eat? why is it easier to have the meals chosen by someone else? Do you have children? Meal planning can be a quite tedious and frustrating task if you want to cook at home, eat healthy, eat tasty, vary the dishes and have meals that kids will accept.
In addition, for recipes, it’s just a better Google. If I do “Give me a concise recipe for X” it gives me one. No fluff, no ads. Just ingredients and steps. For example. I asked for pasta carbonara, concise and then even more concise. Final result: Quick Carbonara (4 servings) Ingredients: 12 oz pasta 4 eggs 1 cup cheese 8 oz bacon 4 garlic Salt, pepper Parsley (opt) Cook pasta, save water. Mix eggs, cheese. Fry baco…

Strong disagree. Will be writing a blog post how GPT-4 understands languages that don't even exist (at least not formally).

#100Yeah it's pretty awesome! I used GPT-4 last week to fix my corrupted SSD. Granted I already narrowed down the kernel logs to a few suspicious lines, but I just pasted those 10 lines in and asked for a fix. Pasting in GPT's arcane `fsck` incantations and boom -- fixed SSD. Saved me an hour or two of hassle reading man pages and stack overflow posts.
