Everyone is trying really hard to find an actual use for LLM in mainstream Applications. So far little progress has been made

Hard disagree. ChatGPT is already useful for work. I regularly see it used for legal and technical questions.

open world video games with lots of npcs

Theoretically yes idk about reality. Could be just as bad as a procedurally generated wasteland

I hope someone is vetting those answers.

They could replace Siri with one on the level of OpenAI, that would be a good start.

It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when and how?

Apple version of GPT-n will certainly find its way to users, but will most likely have some serious bumpers that will take time to roll out.

If Apple has shown anything it’s that they are ruthlessly patient

A trick I do with ChatGPT 3 is type in student questions.

One thing it is generally bad at is recognising bad questions. Someone who knew the frameworks would probe a little and figure out that the student was looking up a dead end.

I think it’s great, and sometimes good enough for me to use as the basis of my answers.
