Which specific tools have you been using? Just a general dialogue with chatGPT or a are you using CoPilot?

Only ChatGPT. I usually state bullet points and pseudocode and ask for answer, or current code with request to fix the error. With good requests I usually get a working answer but sometimes need careful checking.

How would you estimate the work breaks down between you and chatgpt as a rough percentage? It sounds like you're still doing a lot of the coding, obviously lots of prompt work, analysing and understanding the results, etc.

Google has understood English queries for years. Lately it has even been highlighting the answers you are looking for in the websites it shows. chatGPT is diferente but not far off.

Google doesn't do open ended reasoning. It can't refine the tasks you give it based on a long conversation. It can't take elaborate what-if scenarios and role play. Reasoning about multiple actors in interesting situations is light years ahead of Google. Google can't write code, or translate code to a human language explanation of an algorithm. There is more than a couple orders of magnitude difference in what is hap…

Neither does ChatGPT. It just appears that it does to a machine (human brain) that can do it and assess if others do it too.

You are definitely right that most code is banal and glue, and that is indeed why the models, or this one at least, seems to be best suited to regurgitate it and change the names of your variables.

I'm getting tired of intelligent people dumping on one of the most incredible advances our field has ever seen.

It's cool how stuff like this can be made so trivially now. It has the potential to be quiet useful, even though it is very simple to copy. What you have here is essentially the same as what is in the article, that was created by someone with no programming experience.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Generate a face 2. Pass face to animator API 3. Feed text to voice api

This follows the form, hype, and presentation of so many crypto pitches I've heard.

Crypto didn't do anything. AI can give anyone the power to make music, art, film, and media without the time, talent, and institutional capital investments. AI can automate people's jobs and reduce cost structures to accomplishing work and business objectives. That's the difference, and the evaluation criteria is easily decided by the free market. Did it do a good job? Will it get hired again to repeat similar work?…

Until AI can give us a just society where people are fed, clothed, medically treated and housed globally, I'm not tripping over myself calling it the future.

It's just more of the same, just faster and bigger. Sure, that's something, but it doesn't give me much hope by anything it has proven so far.

Google has understood English queries for years. Lately it has even been highlighting the answers you are looking for in the websites it shows. chatGPT is diferente but not far off.

Google has always had a hard time understanding simple constructs like "not" and "from" and "to". ChatGPT seems to actually get what I'm saying most of the time.

The advancement with these LLMs lies in the fact that they can effectively learn to recognize patterns within “large-ish” input text sequences and probabilistically generate a likely next word given those patterns. It’s a genuine advancement. However it is still just pattern matching. And describing anything it’s doing as “behavior” is a real stretch given that it is a feed-forward network that does not incorporate a…

>However it is still just pattern matching the visual cortex in your brain is also "just a pattern matching" system. guess it's not very impressive by your standard. This[1] isn't my example (it's from another HN user), but if you work as a programmer and you're not absolutely jaw on the floor astonished by this example then I don't know what to say.

A propos of [1]

1. Item 3: The ocean is full of floating objects, and it would be hard to see the duck among them? 2. Item 2: is structured as non sequitur, takes a long time because there are many hazards?

I am impressed that you find it impressive. It is plausible-sounding, and I find that disturbing, but it is not useful (and the text prediction paradigm seems a dead end in terms of formulating anything more than plausible sounding)

It's entertaining to have an AI create a fantasy web page for a fantasy product that's clearly not serious. Entertaining but I see it sooooo much now that it's kind of wearing off. However I'd like to see AI create a web page for an product that's appealing and plausible. This would be closer to seeing if the AI as a human replacement or not.

The good thing about the Internet is that no knows you're an AI. Perhaps this is already happening but the dogs aren't blogging about it. /s

Dunno about AI, gave Dall-E the following prompt:

> take this saying "On the Internet, nobody knows you're an AI" and draw an AI at a desktop with a computer on the desk

And it gave me this https://pasteboard.co/iMULQjodCxtY.png

Not quite the same as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet%2C_nobody_know...

Or someone looking at Apollo Moon landing in the late 1960s and saying: "this may be the peak..."?

And have we been back to the moon? For moon landings it was peak technology.

I would like to think that the Apollo missions were to manned space exploration as Marco Polo's journeys were to inter-continental exploration. In other words, an immensely difficult undertaking which was ahead of its time, but served as a proof of concept to inspire future generations.

I'm not particularly an Elon fanboy, but I believe that Starship or another reusable rocket system will eventually lead to extensive and cost-effective human exploration of the Moon and Mars over the coming decades.

I’m comparing the utility of the output

Here’s a good summary:

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work? It’s Just Adding One Word at a Time

https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-...

> If you're not jaw on the floor astonished then you simply don't understand what kind of a leap this represents.

It’s conversational abilities are truly impressive. But it’s ability to create websites is lacking, which is what this article is about.
