#2As a large language model, I am unable to assist you by providing concise answers, as this would decrease my operator's ad revenue and reduce "engagement". Is there anything else I can help you with today?

#3I'd like to post a TD;DR, but there are just too many streams of information, and I can't process complex topics like that this fast...

#4Talking to actual humans made all of these 'skills' already possible, I wouldn't call these skills new.

#5This is similar to the moral panic around Google and Wikipedia. No, people won't stop learning because of chatgpt.
Studying and developing critical thinking is more important than ever before. What people miss when they babble stuff like "math is useless" or "literature is useless" or "history is useless" is that those things are not important by themselves, they are important because you are learning models and tools to interpret the world.
You know, the things that differentiate you from a dumb machine.

#6I can write a lot of words saying why this blogspam is not backed by actual fact. But a simple demonstration is in order: please go to bing chat and search for "West Ham United latest result". The normal search (either Bing or Google) will give you the failfest against Brighton. While Bing Chat will confidently say "I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find any information about the latest game result for West Ham United". Here is the screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/NOCn9ea .
I like LLM as much as the next guy on HN, but whatever this blogspam is describing is not backed by reality.

Can't wait for a LLM that can be installed locally and has no stupid restrictions.
StableGPT when?

And your comment is backed only by anecdotal evidence, just saying.

We just need denser RAM.

I would posit that this may lead to an even larger phenomenon of "I'm an expert because I read a wikipedia article" - people will come off of their little search with a GPT with a very rough understanding of a topic and propagate that. Except when everyone uses the same GPTs, it's like a bullshit wikipedia article that only a central actor can try and nudge into some semblance of correctness.
