This ChatGPT/AI thing kind of freaks me out the more I peek at it. I think what I am beginning to realize is that, regardless of what you think of ChatGPT right now, we've only just scratched the surface. We're standing here poking at this new and curious thing. I'm thinking back to when I first fired up NCSA Mosaic on a Mac Quadra (or whatever). What did I think of this World Wide Web? Did I immediately see the disa…

AI will ruin the internet and it will be extremely difficult to filter out bots, that's my prediction

My first initial reaction to ChatGPT was that people will join more and more verified private human communities. Example: Discord channels or private Whatsapp groups.

My second reaction was that the internet will need a protocol to verify that the user is indeed a human.

> Did I immediately see the disappearance of travel agents, the death of the newspaper, the collapse of the music industry, the slow decline of Hollywood and the rise of streaming services? Did I imagine the rise of digital commerce and the shuttering of brick and mortar stores? Digital currency? Digital navigation?

Investors certainly invested as if all of those would happen way faster than they did though, people knew it would happen but they expected it to happen way faster than it did happen.

It will probably be the same with this thing, the revolution will happen but it will happen way slower than most of us would expect.

Spam. Spam spam spam and acres of spam, covered in spam. Spam as far as the eyes can see I look forward to responding to spam to use it as free programming credits.

While you might think I'm joking, LLMs could potentially help with screening out that spam.

It's silly that you can't even see what these things can do without having a $20/mo subscription. They have one line descriptions for each one, but it doesn't really tell you what it actually does. They need to add a feature list and provide some examples for each one of these. There is zero reason for anyone to start a new subscription when you don't even know what the app does.

ChatGPT+ is so very ridiculously valuable I'm shocked people still complain about it costing $20 a month. I would still pay for ChatGPT+ at $200 a month because it saves me so much time. If you're a knowledge worker in a modern economy, I can all but guarantee you're penny-wise but pound-foolish not paying for it. I think this is proof no matter how little you charge people, they will always complain -- so ignore the…

If you are not paid for being a computer geek - for example, if you are a very interested teenager, or an underprivileged adult, who loves playing with these things but has $0 budget - then the very fact there is a price for entry is a hard to surmount barrier. So while I am happy to pay my $20 a month, I can sympathise with those for whom it might as well be $200 a month given their ability to pay up.

OpenAI today updated their Usage Policy to include the GPT Store: https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies > We want to make sure that GPTs in the GPT Store are appropriate for all users. For example, GPTs that contain profanity in their names or that depict or promote graphic violence are not allowed in our Store. We also don’t allow GPTs dedicated to fostering romantic companionship or performing regulated activi…

I wonder what the reasoning is for banning "romantic companionship."

Have a look at what happened to Replika AI. The optics of getting into that sort of thing for OpenAI wouldn't be worth it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

IMHO "barrier to entry" implies success and not mere existence. It's like barrier to entry into singing, everyone can sing but the barrier to entry into singing career is actually quite high. Very few things have true barrier to entry and its mostly about purchasing an equipment or license.

We've just gone a lovely circle :) The "barrier to build ", as used by the initial post and in this context, is "barrier to put something in front of eyes of the customer". With that barrier being low, it's supremely hard for customers to pick wheat from the chaff. Who's gonna bother going through 3 million offerings and figure out what's useful?

I guess the discovery will be similar to discovery of viral tweets and YouTube videos. That is algorithmically and virally.

Not sure if related to this release, but right now both the website and the android app een to be broken.

The app just hangs with a dot in the middle of the screen, and the website seems to load but asking a question results in "NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.". Sidebar menu also empty.

Anyone else experiencing this?

We had a "human" who turned out to be an AI bot on a Discord server...

Took us a while to see it though, its answers to every discussion were way too verbose and used unnecessarily complex language for the context.

It's still unknown whether it was a 100% bot or a human using an AI manually to embellish whatever they wanted to communicate.

It is fascinating, indeed. But it's also frightening to see, how much spam und unnecessarity this produces. The top 6 writing GPTs contain 3 SEO GPTs. There's a "GPT Search GPT" in the list of productivity GPTs. "Search 22.500+ best custom GPTs" - the bigger the number, the better the product...
