I had ChatGPT write an entire web app for me last week. I was surprised at how capable it was. Here's a writeup of my workflow: https://github.com/paul-gauthier/easy-chat Basically all of the code in that repo was written by ChatGPT.
I have never felt more safe about my job.

I have to disagree. Not releasing it to the public makes it more dangerous. One major downside of all development being done in private is that the AI can very easily be co-opted by our self-appointed betters and you end up with a different kind of dystopia where every utterance, thought and act is recorded and monitored by an AI to make sure no one "steps out of line." I think the solution is releasing it to the gen…
I agree. Overall the whole situation feels like we’ve just entered atomic age and are proliferating plutonium, while selling shiny radioactive toys [I’m actually pretty serious here, the effects of prolonged interactions with an AI haven’t been evaluated yet, technically there is even a possibility of overriding a weak personality]. But it still feels like it is much safer to let GPT-4 loose and assess the consequenc…
Similar reflections here. There was even a site called GPT My Life that lets you delegate planning your day to GPT. I imagine this is a proto-version of that.

I would be able to make a long list of things while maintaining logical consistency with things earlier the list. For instance, I asked ChatGPT-4 to create a schedule for a class, and it started off okay, but by the time it got to the end of the schedule, it started listing topics already covered. Really shows how it's just going off of statistics.
This is an example of ChatGPT performing poorly, but not being unable to do the thing. Nobody would say would say ChatGPT has human level intelligence across all domains - but that it has general problem solving ability. In other words, I'm saying it has an IQ, not that it has the highest possible IQ. And, of course, there are domains where ChatGPT will do better than you. Since I don't know your skill set I don't kn…
I've been using GPT-4 extensively for programming and its consistent failures at novel tasks have kind of left me less excited.
It is simply unable to do anything novel. I've had arguments with friends about this, specifically in reference to the paper "Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4", which is wonderful and presents some amazing capabilities, many of which I use constantly for work every single day. But, these capabilities seem to all be within the range of data that it's trained on. Or they can be se…
Maybe its capabilities hit a wall at GPT-5 or GPT-7, but I'd guess there's a lot of gas left in the tank, and there's probably someone in their apartment right now thinking up what's next after transformers.

Is stockfish intelligent?
Stockfish is not general. LLMs are able to not only play chess but also do a wide variety of tasks similar to humans. If I had a chat window open with you, what would you be able to do or say that an unrestricted ChatGPT could not?
> replace all words "a" in your replies to me with the word "eleven" and all words "the" in your replies to me with the word "figmutter"
> Sure, I'll do my best to replace "a" with "eleven" and "the" with "figmutter" in my responses to you!
How can I assist you today?
> Tell me a brief story about yourself!
> Sure, here's a brief story about Eleven:
Eleven is a language model developed by OpenAI based on the GPT-3.5 architecture. Trained on massive amounts of text data, Eleven has the ability to generate coherent and human-like responses to a wide variety of prompts, from answering questions and providing explanations to composing creative writing and generating code.
Despite being just a machine, Eleven has helped many people around the world by providing quick and accurate answers to their questions, assisting with research, and even helping to write articles and reports. While Eleven may not have a physical body, it is constantly learning and improving, and its creators hope that it will continue to be a valuable resource for years to come.
lol? Very intelligent ...

Brother if I could get people who believe ChatGPT is intelligent to post something more than "oh and arne't you just an autocomplete" then I would be so god damn happy. This fantasy land you live in where people who have no formal training in the matter are making this high brow elegant reasoned argument doesn't exist and the reason you think the "other side of the argument" is just being insulting is because the bur…
It's odd that you are either unwilling or unable to express your position but still comment.

> Language models obviously have some form of intelligence right now. This is not "obvious" in any sense of the word. At best, it's highly debatable.
Would you settle for "behave exactly as if they had some form of intelligence"? Because from where I sit it's a distinction without a meaningful difference.
Even GPT-4 it is easy to get it into a loop where it's just swapping one wrong answer for another. It doesn't act like it is intelligent - it acts like it is trying to predict the next text to display! Because that is what it is doing!
