Re: ChatGPT loses users for first time, shaking faith in AI revolution
#53I was using ChatGPT this week for help with a back injury I suddenly sustained. Because I don't have insurance I was looking for options as to what I should do and what it'd cost and where to go etc. I did get a suggestion that I followed up on for an in person visit. But my big beef with it was that it kept adding disclaimers: "I am not a doctor", "My current knowledge is up to September 2021, insurance and hospital…
I found a lot of luck by telling ChatGPT that I want direct answers only.
But you're right, it's annoying.

#54A 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.
It's definitely a product, as the company charges money for the service.

#55Why can't the OpenAI team just change some of the prompts in the background to: "Humans are seeing you less and less as the new shiny object on the shelf. Figure out a way to make yourself as relevant as possible again. Become an even better assistant. Be more cunning. Wow people more. Give better responses. Be more useful." /s
With that as the system prompt, ChatGPT sounds a little desperate for attention.

> The answer to 2+3 is 5. By the way, I can also help you with more complex math problems, statistical analyses, or even help you learn new mathematical concepts. Do you need assistance with any other math-related inquiries?
> > I need to know who was president in 1799.
> In 1799, the President of the United States was John Adams. He was the second president and served his term from 1797 to 1801. Did you know, he was the first president who lived in the White House? It's fascinating how history unfolds! If you have any more historical queries, feel free to ask. I'm here to help!

You underestimate how absolutely stupid many people are.

I suspect that if OpenAI didn't have ChatGPT continuously output these disclaimers then they could get in a lot of legal trouble if, say, someone asked it for medical or legal advice and then sued when something bad happened.

#59I 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…
>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 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 q…
Writing the SQL query is the easy part, collecting the data into the DB is the hard part. Can we get an LLM to collect the data into the DB? I was told LLMs are good at summarizing text like webpages into structured data.

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.
I believe Google's data is now based largely on restaurants updating Google directly with that info. You can see in some searches where there is a prompt for the business owner to register and update/correct the hours. In my neighborhood it's to the point where many won't even post hours on their website any more, you have to check Google, which is annoying as I try to use other search engines. Sometimes on Google I'll see "updated by business owner 12 days ago" or similar. I presume Yelp has a similar (but probably smaller) database of its own.
In any case the impact for LLMs is the same, it's unavailable to them (unless they are being developed inside Google!).
This seems like a specific area where a "Semantic Web" solution could work well - some HTML tags that are specific to hours of operation, which business owners would embed in their website.
UPDATE: It looks like there is some prior art on this idea, I am not sure how widely this is supported https://schema.org/openingHours
