Just signed up. How long is the wait list?

Of all the places spreadsheet is probably the one place you don’t want AI generated content. Half the time it’s financial info so sorta correct simply isn’t good enough
Spreadsheets are used for _waaaay_ more than just finances. I don't think it's anywhere near 50% finances. I can't recall where, but I saw a study from I think the 90s saying most of the spreadsheets they found were being used as Todo lists. Maybe like 1 in my past 2y of many, many spreadsheets has been financing related. I think you might be overgeneralizing to an ungeneralizeably large group -- the set of all human…
"I need to input a number of variables and find their sum and average [or even more]. And I need to see how the outputs change if I change an input...".

It's the modern equivalent of creating a long queue outside your Apple store to generate buzz.
If the app isn’t growing faster than infrastructure can be provisioned, these mini queues are just making people wait for no reason.

You got it! After seeing a few tweet storms and articles that turn out to be GPT3 gibberish, I end up coming to HN more for my news because usually someone flags waste of time in the comments. The software would save people 80% or the work and most are lazy enough to release it as is, instead of fixing the remaining 20%. That laziness will end up forcing legislation to flag and eventually ban or deprioritize all GPT…
How would you go about classifying something as GPT generated? Let alone flagging/deprioritizing it via some draconian legislation?

I dealt with something similar. I was creating a large directory of childcare centres in Canada. I had thousands of listings with a url but no email address. I created a Mechanical Turk job to ask turkers to go to website and find an email address. Many came back with email addresses like admin@ >.com. After checking a few, I realized that the turkers were just guessing that admin@ would work and I'd approve their wo…
I wonder if those workers can be reported and fired.

That’s why you always set up layers of work with mturk, with other layers validating the first ones. Or give the same task to multiple workers and compare the results.
I would love to see a tool which uses GPT-3 to generate SQL from English. Like: give me a list of all customers from London who purchased in January a laptop with more than 16GB of RAM and used a coupon between 10% and 25%. Sort it by price payd.
Just ran your exact query through OpenAI's Codex (model: code-davinci-002), and this was the result:
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE city = 'London' AND purchase_date BETWEEN '2019-01-01' AND '2019-01-31' AND product_name = 'laptop' AND product_ram > 16 AND coupon_percentage BETWEEN 10 AND 25 ORDER BY price_paid DESC;
I'd say it's pretty damn accurate.

try to tweak the prompts so you get to the level of Katie Dee, KDizzle, Kdawg
I ... sort of got there. But then it rapidly escalated to extremely long and incoherent chains of hyphenated names with "money" and "$" and things all throughout.
The most sensible use for AI that I can see at this time is for supporting humans in their work, but only where the system is set up so that the human has to do the work first, with the AI system looking for possible errors. For example the human drives the car, and the AI brakes when it senses dangerous conditions ahead, or the human screens test results for evidence of cancer and the AI flags where it disagrees so…
So humans should do the work of image classification, voice transcription, text summarization, etc. before an AI gets involved? Makes total sense to me.
