OpenAI in a weird way has mediocre marketing. The examples they use for Dalle-3 are way worse than the average ones I see people cooking up on Twitter/Reddit. They only seem to demo the most vaguely generic implementations of their app. Even their DevDay logo is just 4 lines of text.

Just the fact that they decided to stay with what is essentially a highly technical acronym i.e. GPT, as their major product line says a lot.

Before coming into mainstream I was always referring as GTP ..

No, they just lie in their marketing > Example GPTs are available today for ChatGPT Plus or > Starting today, no more hopping between models; everything you need is in one place. Neither of which are true. I'm a paying user and I have access to neither. They do this _all the time_. They announce something "available immediately" and it trickles out a week or more later. If they want to do gradual rollouts (which is s…

Are you sure? Both of those went live at 1 PM PST.

Not live for me in the UK 8am GMT... Ideally they'd be a bit more transparent about their rollout process/timeline

Not even. An agent should primarily operate in some kind of self-prompting loop. Afaik xou can not specify complex and branching looping behaviors for GPTs.

ChatGPT and plugins were already agents. An agent just does stuff on somebody else’s behalf. Browsing, browses the Internet for the user, code interpreter creates and runs Python code for the user… What you describe are what’s called autonomous agents, and i agree that I also expected some interesting announcement there but probably too many security issues.

Well, I would say that when people at the moment say agent they mean what you call autonomous agent. Browsing or code interpreter is just LLM + tool use. I think there is a really large difference in quality between a system that just interacts 1-2 times with some tool/API before giving an answer and one that runs in a loop with undefined length (until it decides to terminate). It's like the difference between programming without loops or recursion vs with them. Night and day.

This is just slid into the last paragraph, but it is a pretty big deal as this knowledge cutoff date is now past ChatGPT’s initial launch date (thus OpenAI has likely sort of figured out as to how to exclude crawled text data generated by itself and other LLMs on the internet):

I don’t understand why more people aren’t creating digital doubles of their brain..? You train your own LLM for practically free and have your own digital double to maximize any and all productivity. Why is there not more of this?

I have the same feeling.

90% of my work is done in Slack and Email threads, if I had a (ideally local) LLM read and learn everything there, it would be immensely helpful - as in it could replace me to answer on most questions and queries.

> We’ve made ChatGPT Plus fresher and simpler to use > Finally, ChatGPT Plus now includes fresh information up to April 2023. We’ve also heard your feedback about how the model picker is a pain. Starting today, no more hopping between models; everything you need is in one place. You can access DALL·E, browsing, and data analysis all without switching. You can also attach files to let ChatGPT search PDFs and other doc…

What is even more annoying is every plus subscriber whining that they didn't get the feature yet. We know, you paid and you want to play now, but it's a rollout and it's progressively coming towards you. Just have a little bit of patience.

So i guess the next wave of startups has been killed. I'm not even sure what kind of startup still makes sense as a gpt thin wrapper?

> I'm not even sure what kind of startup still makes sense as a gpt thin wrapper? Startups don't make sense as thin wrappers around another company's product when that company is aggressively expanding that product is a core offering that the vendor is aggressively working to provide as an integrated solution for as many markets as possible, which very much applies to OpenAI offerings in general, and its chat models…

I don't think the target market for this is people looking for extremely knowledgeable LLMs that can handle deep technical tasks, given that you can't even finetune these models. I'd guess this is more of an attempt to poach the market of companies like character.ai. The market for models with a distinct character/personality is absolutely massive right now (see: app store rankings) and users are willing to spend ins…

Notice how it's "digital girlfriend" but not "digital boyfriend" that insane users will spend insane amounts of money on. So sad. But maybe it will distract the incels from harassing real women.

why would these be any better than asking regular chatgpt the same thing?

I've had the same problem with plugins, I was excited by the idea but looking through the store theres nothing remotely useful or interesting.

I don't want to hate on them, id love to hear about interesting or useful usecases if anyones found use for them
