Can anyone explain what "extra knowledge" means specifically? Is that like fine tuning? How much data can I give it to learn? How much can it retain? Can it be updated over time?

The demo just showed a file dialog box where they could upload a set of static files. What I'd really like to see is the ability to sync a source integration (for example into a GitHub repo or a notion account), and it would always pull relevant information using a RAG architecture.

"Example GPTs are available today for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users to try out including Canva and Zapier AI Actions." and yet as a paying ChatGPT Plus customer, neither the Canva nor the Zapier AI Actions link work for me, I get a "GPT inaccessible or not found" error for Canva or Zapier.

OpenAI is a sane company. They do rollouts for new features.

No, they just lie in their marketing

> Example GPTs are available today for ChatGPT Plus

or

> Starting today, no more hopping between models; everything you need is in one place.

Neither of which are true. I'm a paying user and I have access to neither. They do this _all the time_. They announce something "available immediately" and it trickles out a week or more later. If they want to do gradual rollouts (which is smart) then they should say as much.

Googles: Custom versions of Google. Anyone can easily build their own Google. No coding is required. You can make them for yourself, just for your company’s internal use, or for everyone. Creating one is as easy as starting a conversation, giving it instructions and extra knowledge, and picking what it can do, like searching the web, making images or analyzing data. The whole point of ChatGPT was go to one single pla…

> The whole point of ChatGPT was go to one single place for all your knowledge needs. That's just your own perception. OpenAI is trying to build AGI. You entered into the storyline at a specific junction and jumped to conclusions based on the limits of your own imagination, or something.

Right. All I'm sayin is I want the God level AGI, the king of kings of AGI.

Allowing me to customize ChatGPT is the same itty bitty intelligence, like putting a new mask on ChatGPT.

OpenAI changed their values to 'AGI Focus'. This seems like OpenAI losing focus.

Some use cases are still valid I hope. E.g. content generation on a massive scale. An example of that that I'm tinkering with: https://meoweler.com

Can I ask what the goal is here? It's cool to be able to spin up a nicely designed website (and it is nicely designed and has a good aesthetic), but isn't the content going to be semantically empty? I don't want to be negative but it feels like cheap plastic imitation of a real thing, and the web is already full of spammy low quality content. Aren't you in danger of your products having a very short life cycle and en…

Many startups have started over the past few years, trying to build infrastructure (shovels) for companies to integrate LLMs, or specific chat copilots trying to cater to a specific usecase. Most are dead in the water once OpenAI subsumes their feature set.

... is what people who don't understand positioning will parrot time and time again. Jasper isn't having a good time, but you'd think the fact anyone can produce better output than they did after spending millions of dollars in GPT-3 based pipelines for $20 a month would mean they're dead dead. But instead they went and changed their positioning, changed who their target market is, adjusted the UX, the messaging, and…

Isn’t that the crux of the conversation? Jasper had to fight to survive because they were a wrapper.

I bet if you combined GPT creation with Zapier integrations you could help a lot of people and companies.

So many zapier integrations are half baked. A lot of them are good for reacting to events but not for searching for data (i.e. you can use zapier to react to a jira ticket change but can't use zapier to query jira for ticket info)

You can, just have to use JQL. Zapier can create a conditional trigger if the JQL criteria are met and pool on a set cadence, such as 15 mins.

What other LLM will compete with GPT-4 Turbo (+ V)? At most you're hedging that Anthropic releases a "Claude 2 Turbo (+ V)": is complicating your setup to such a ridiculous degree vs "zero effort" worth it for that? If things change down the line the fact you invested 5 minutes into writing a prompt isn't going to be such a huge loss anyways, absolutely no reason to roll your own on this.

> If things change down the line the fact you invested 5 minutes into writing a prompt isn't going to be such a huge loss anyways If things change down the road such that your tool (or a major potential downstream market for your tool) is outside of OpenAI's usage policies, the fact that you invested even a few developer-weeks into combining the existing open source tooling to support running your workload either aga…

Let's go back to my very first comment.

> If you want to be independent for academic/personal reasons, sure you can.

If your goal is to be in business, or to get some sort of reach, or anything other than "have fun tinkering"... wasting developer weeks on "could be a win" is how to fail.

I don’t understand why more people aren’t creating digital doubles of their brain..? You train your own LLM for practically free and have your own digital double to maximize any and all productivity. Why is there not more of this?

Try it and let us know how it works out?

I think you'll find that "maximizing any and all productivity" is both harder than you think and not really something worth striving for.

Plus as neat as these advancements are, they are nowhere nearing the ability to create a "digital double of your brain" of yourself. There is a vast ocean from where we are are today to the possibility of replicating a brain digitally (if it's even physically possible).

So i guess the next wave of startups has been killed. I'm not even sure what kind of startup still makes sense as a gpt thin wrapper?

It was (is) basically a smash and grab. You can spin up a site and a payment processor so fast nowadays that it just takes a weekend of work to go from idea to "Click here to subscribe and get 200 [AI generation] a month!"
