So far the most intuitive, killer app level UX appears to be text chat. This interaction with showing it images also looks interesting as it resembles talking with a friend about a topic but let's see if it feels like talking to a very smart person(ChatGPT is like that) or a very dumb person that somewhat recognise objects. Recognising a wrench is nowhere near as impressive as to able to talk with ChatGPT about history or make it write code that actually works.

OpenAI is killing it, right? People are coming up with interesting use cases but the main way most people interact with AI, appears to be ChatGPT.

However they still don't seem to be able to nail image generation, all the cool stuff keep happening on MidJourney and StableDiffusion.

Old hat. This was done in 2009. ;) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Milo Milo had an AI structure that responded to human interactions, such as spoken word, gestures, or predefined actions in dynamic situations. The game relied on a procedural generation system which was constantly updating a built-in "dictionary" that was capable of matching key words in conversations with inherent voice-acting clips to simul…

OpenAI's demo on the linked page stars a kitten named Milo. Easter egg?

I know there are shades of grey to how they operate, but the near constant stream of stuff they're shipping keeps me excited. The LLM boom of the last year (Open AI, llama, et al) has me giddy as a software person. It's a reach, but I truly feel like I'm watching the pyramids of our time get made.

Its truly an amazing time to be alive. I'm right there with you, super excited about this decade. Especially what we could do in medicine.

Statistical diagnoses models have offered similar possibilities in medicine for 50 years. Pretty much, the idea is that you can get a far more accurate diagnosis if you take into account the medical history of everyone else in your family, town, workplace, residence and put all of it into a big statistical model, on top of your symptoms and history.

However, medical secrecy, processes and laws prevent such things, even if they would save lives.

I don't see ChatGPT being any different.

We need the API to keep up with consumer front end.

From the article:

> Plus and Enterprise users will get to experience voice and images in the next two weeks. We’re excited to roll out these capabilities to other groups of users, including developers, soon after.

OpenAI is also releasing DALLE-3 in "early October" and the images they chose for their demos show it demonstrating unprecedented levels of prompt understanding, including embedding full sentences of text in an output image.

We should be fine as long as it doesn't move. Jokes aside, I have paused my subscription because even GPT4 seemed to become dumber at tasks to the point that I barely used it, but the constant influx of new features is tempting me to renew it just to check them out...

> We should be fine as long as it doesn't move.

Not really. A malevolent AGI doesn't need to move to do anything it needs (it could ask / manipulate / bribe people to do all the stuff requiring movement).

We should be fine as long as it's not a malevolent AGI with enough resources to kick physical things off in the direction it wants.
