Is Google in deep waters? And not only because of how good ChatGPT can be, but also as far as "content" goes, because from what I can tell the quality of writing by ChatGPT is very passable for articles, especially if you know the topic you're writing on in and out. I have been thinking about this over the weekend but I haven't been able to get a good feel for it on my own.

No, because they already have LaMDA which is the same thing, a language model for dialogs. Google could implement that into Google today, but the reason they don't is Google is a 200b/year business. You don't want to mess around with a business of that size for the fun of it. We will probably see it in Google Assistant before they add it too Google. OpenAI doesn't have this worry so they can put their model out into…

That was my thought process too, particularly the business part. I find it hard to believe Google would want to give that up so easily. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

ChatGPT can still hallucinate stuff, so if you want to write anything of substance, you have to check its claims through Google.

Does it make sense to put this on the chrome store? OpenAI is eventually going to end the beta period or Azure will run out of GPUs, whichever is first, then it'll no longer be accessible. In theory we can replicate this with GPT-3 but ChatGPT has better access to its knowledge, when it's not being a nagging busybody, which makes it much friendlier to interact with, when it's not being a nagging busybody.

It does? I hooked up GPT3 to my discord server and can't really tell the difference in quality.

ChatGPT is an absolute game changer. And I was very conservative with systems like GPT and DALLE-2. For example, I've been very lazy with automating some things on my work laptop, using Powershell. Now, I just had to ask ChatGPT for "write a powershell script that toggles "use setup script" in the windows proxy settings" and I was done in 5 minutes. Amazing. I foresee a paradigm shift in how we use Google in the next…

You inspired me to try using ChatGPT for a similar need I had, but alas, "Write a bash script to toggle grayscale display mode in MacOS" just comes up with a plausible but non-working script that toggles a hallucinated "AppleIntensityEnabled" setting.

To be honest, I feel a bit of relief every time AI fails to do something. Like, okay, we've got a few more years...

Google doesn’t do anything to validate the search results lead to accurate information

Yes, I had to press "Try Again" a few times but, in general, the amount of stuff you can generate is staggering. It's also quite fun to ask it to "invent a programming language in the style of Rust and APL" for example. There's so much potential here...

And yet that doesn't mean Google is regularly returning wrong answers like Chat got is.

Don't put out this intellectually lazy argument without considering the magnitude of error and user ability to mitigate it.

I assumed the ChatGPT3 enhancement is that they added memory of the dialogue to it? That's a huge improvement over one off questions and answers. You can tell it to correct its answers and ask follow up questions.

Give it some time and the Internet will be swamped by AI-generated dubious crap, and at that point Google will lose its advantage.
