I do think AI is here to stay, but that initial round of AI is going to destroy the world burned fast and hot. I can't even get ChatGPT (+ web plugin), when given a list of restaurants in NYC, to tell me which ones are still open vs have closed, and what their hours of operation / locations are. This is a pretty low bar request IMO. Showed me we still have a ways to go before AI is where we thought it was 3-4 months…

Most of the plugins are garbage, I just want chatgpt to have up to date knowledge and working natively with more media types. I don't think I've used a single plugin I thought had good results but I love gpt4 for work

Time for another hype train, how about quantum?

Oh please no… quantum again? Have you seen the latest on the subject?

Jokes apart, I hope it won’t be quantum.

That's not an LLM problem, there's a physical divide between a physical stores operation and whatever its representation online is. Google tries to do this by tracking people and activity in locations to see if people are at a place or something but reality is there is not a clean interface to that other than contacting someone at the location.

Actually I used it a lot for weeks but mainly to find out if I'm going to become unemployed in the next 2 years (probably not) and also learning how use an AI assistant assuming it's here to stay. There seem to be other interesting use cases but considering it's really not more than autocomplete I kind of lost trust in the results.

This is doable using a tool I've built. The key is to have that data in a RDBMS and to use an LLM to generate the SQL query that answers your question. Companies haven't offered this yet because there's no safe way to execute these queries on your behalf. Which is where my library comes in[1].

A bit of clickbait seems to me. “9 month old Demo ware service sees fluctuation in active users”

I find it weird that folks seem to look at ChatGPT as some sort of end product. It’s a “holy shit this is cool” demo that became viral. It’s not a product. It’s a POC.
