Probably an unpopular opinion, but it's sucky to see these tools constantly getting nerfed. I get that there are large questions out there about things like "browse with bing" but that's why I thought it was supposed to be a limited alpha preview. If OpenAI wants us to build workflows on their stack, they need to really crystalize and figure out what that stack is without changing the underlying stack every 5 minutes…

The constant quest for "safety" might actually be making our future much less safe. I've seen many instances of users needing to yell at, abuse, or manipulate ChatGPT to get the desired answers. This trains users to be hateful to / frustrated with AI, and if the data is used, it teaches AI that rewards come from such patterns.

As everyone assumes they’re dealing with an AI for support, etc., the job of being a human in those roles will be awful.

All this song and dance to delay the inevitable death of "ad supported journalism" by a few more months.

Can't wait for open source AI to catch up and watch all these "safeguards" crumble down. Although I have a sinking feeling that they'll be in cahoots with the congress by then, protecting us from all those unauthorized non-OpenAI-bot scariness.

So they want to align the AI with corporate goals. At least they're being honest here. I want a personal assistant to summarize a page, remove all advertising and do a fact check. Can we have that?

Sure, I'll sign a 1099 with you for $120.00/hr.

Seriously, though, I hope that you realize that LLMs are incapable of "fact-checking", because they don't know what "facts" are.

If the ai doomers win then Nvidia will become nationalized and compute power will be heavily regulated, preventing any individual from having local ai.

Some people were already like this re: outsourcing. “No ma’am I’m not in India, I’m in Maine. Oh yes, it is lovely here.”
