I have started incorporating ChatGPT into my side project. I'm not integrating it into software or anything like that, but using it as a tool for product ideas, product photo ideas, funny social media captions, figuring out the best hashtags to use, product tagging and categorization. It has proven to be a great way to get everything to around 70%, then send off to my assistant for the remaining 30% of polish. So at…

I paid for it, then stopped paying for it. It seemed to be completely novel and fun to use but after a while it just became a pain. I tried writing a library to act as a code assistant for data science but trying to get it to write the codes that were useful to me took around the same amount of time as writing them myself. What you say is completely correct, it gets to around 70% of whatever you ask it to do then you…

interesting that the article mentions Microsoft is trying to build their own AI chips to help reduce cost, they are years behind Google in that effort. Google still has the advantage in both research and hardware, they just fumbled the execution but it's still very early in the game

Google still has the advantage in both research and hardware, they just fumbled the execution but it's still very early in the game Where do we think Apple is in regards to this? If anyone has the upper-hand here with hardware, I would think it'd be Apple. But there's been zero indication that Apple has been working on any sort of generative AI.

It's almost like ChatGPT is nerd-sniping us all. But we like it and it's useful to us.

Don't generalize, I've never used it and never seen any reason to use it.

This might sound tone deaf but thats seems extremely cheap to me. It means the cost range for chatGPT is between $300m - $500m per year. If the 100m users is accurate, it means they only need to convert low single digit percentage to paying users to break even. Now it makes sense why they chose to charge $20/m, I predicted much higher.
