Sure, there are a few edge-case failures and mistakes here and there, but I can't help but be in awe . AWE. Let me state the obvious, in case anyone here isn't clear about the implications: If the rate of improvement of these AI models continues at the current pace, they will become a superior user interface to almost every thing you want to do on your mobile phone, your tablet, your desktop computer, your car, your…

Only for things where a high rate for sizeable errors (maybe >1% or >0.1%) is tolerable.

Unless there is a neural interface, keyboards, digital stylii, etc are still a superior UI to letting an AI guess at what you're thinking.

None of the images loads for me, but works through cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https:/...

Looks like the (Ghost?) image CDN got hugged to death. We'll update the URLs.

```

403. That’s an error.

Your client does not have permission to get URL ... from this server. (Client IP address: ...)

Rate-limit exceeded That’s all we know.

They will be the best input mode to play flight sims? I am being a little facetious, but you made a bold claim.

I mean, autopilot is a thing. You would just instruct it what to do and it will make a flight plan and do it.

It’s gonna take the fun out of the experience a little bit though!

I’m impressed, technically, but this seems niche. Who holds their phone up and takes a photo then wants to know it was a photo of? That’s weird. If you don’t know what it is, wtf did you take photo? The obvious use here is natural language improvement / photo editing for photos, but this is just a stepping stone to that, and bluntly, as it stands… the examples really don’t shine… Great for the vision impaired. …not s…

>> Who holds their phone up and takes a photo then wants to know it was a photo of? >> Great for the vision impaired. Yes, this is great for the estimated 285 million vision impaired people around the world[1]. [1] https://www.bemyeyes.com/about

Did you read my comment? I literally said that it’s for vision impaired.

That’s great. …but it’s niche.

I’m sitting on my couch right now and I can think of like 20 things I could chat to chatgpt about.

I can see literally nothing in my visual range want to take a photo of and run image analysis over.

It’s like Shazam. Yes, it’s useful, but, most of the time, I don’t need it.

I would argue this is true for this, for most people, including the significant proportion of people with minor visual impairments (that would, you know, put their glasses on instead).

You're right, for actually playing the sim, you'll likely need a game controller or something like that. I edited my comment.

But keep in mind that during the sim, you'll be able to ask the computer what you want the plane to do, and the computer will magically make it happen on your display.

So you won't be able to do anything without Internet connection to the AI mainframe? No thanks.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oh wow, I'm completely fucked as a front end developer.

Your job will change in fundamental ways at least.

The more people say that, the less convincing it is

There is no way I would have a UI developer onboarded when I can generate many iterations of layouts in midjourney, copy them into chatgpt4 and get code in NextJS with Typescript instantly

non devs will have trouble doing this or thinking of the prompts to ask, but the dev team asking for headcount simply wont ask for headcount, and the engineering manager is going to find the frontend only dev redundant
