my main issue is the people making hiring and budget decisions aren't 3D artists, they're managers. my work might be objectively better than GPT's, but is that going to matter when my boss compares the cost difference and decides GPT is 'good enough'?

When your boss gets fired for delivering garbage it will matter

Which they won't, because the market naturally optimizes towards the most awful, shitty garbage possible that's still barely fit for purpose. This will only accelerate the trend.

It is good when people lose their jobs, actually!

That wasn't my point. It is bad that they will lose their jobs. But that doesn't mean we should keep those jobs around.

No, but perhaps we should take some responsibility and provide people with alternatives before destroying their lives.

I’m waiting for SiriGPT, and frankly I’ve wondered why its taken Apple so long to figure out how to do even the most basic of voice powered commands from my iPhone.

I don’t think this is what you are looking for, but there are many IOS shortcuts that front end the OpenAI api with Siri, using Siri for voice input and output. You can even ask ChatGPT how to create a shortcut like that.

I know this tech is terrifying to actual 3D artist who don’t want be a “prompt engineer”, but as someone who has never used Blender, I think its cool that I can create something using tools like this and use them in my projects, ex background animation on a website hero section.

It just raises the bar so that 3D artists who are only capable of reproducing the same boring things they saw in YouTube tutorials are no longer considered proficient. The more I think about this trend, the more I think it might be good. Bootcamp devs are no longer good enough for junior roles since a GPT could replace them. Digital media people who learnt via YouTube and have no real talent are no longer skilled eno…

I don't really care how or where someone learned something, so long as they learned it well and can apply it.

My experience in the software industry (20 years now) showed me that the best ones were the ones who got into it out of genuine interest. They tended to write software as a hobby.

There was no shortage of CS grads who couldn't be nearly as productive.

The self-taught ones, or the ones with genuine interest who also completed a degree program were the best.

I wouldn't discriminate against "boot camp coders" or people who learn things from YouTube.

There's a lot of people who live in a different world where an expensive college/university education is not an option.

Please someone build the same thing for JetBrains, where the AI has access to the full context of my project, and I can tell it "add a feature here" and then review the code before committing.

Unfortunately the context window is too short. I have been wanting this also. I think there may be a place for microtraining whereby the model weights are re-trained with your new data. It can include everything in your organization.

In the long run I think that continuous training will be obvious with new models rolled out on a very high frequency if not continuously.

this is cool, but hm, how should I put it... Ultimately there's a relationship between the preciseness in which you want to control something and the underlying information, as conveyed in language, to describe such precision. Whether you use plain english, or code - ultimately to do things of sufficient precision you will have to be equally precise in your description. I'm sure someone with more time and more knowle…

With a shared vector database and semantic search plugin you can see bunch of prompts other people have created.

with a search plugin you can have it find the api docs and have it output interesting parameters and how to use them with examples.

with a python REPL plugin you can have it generate 10 variations and run the code for each.

with GPT4 and plugins you could describe the output you want to midjourney or something and give the prompt to it to generate it in blender(feed the outputs to some image similarity vector to compare) and have it search through parameter space(or vector space of the prompt) until it finds something pretty close to what you want.

given your budget of course.

The JEE exam in India is very advanced, I doubt most Europeans or US students could pass it, even after a year or two at university. So those who enter IIT are already quite good very early.

India's high-stakes exams are also plagued by cheating.[1] So just because someone ostensibly "passed" an exam doesn't mean they actually did. Of course, India's education system is far from the only one where cheating is rampant, which is just one reason to look on credentials and accolades everywhere with a skeptical eye.

This is something that a year ago, if you saw it in a movie, your eyes would roll.

I think real CSI "enhance" is coming also although i'm sure all kinds of details will be imagined and interpolated

Yea, that is the real worry with this technology. You'll be able to zoom in on a blurry image of speeding car taken at night and get a perfectly clear license plate, but there is no way to guarantee that it is the correct license plate that was actually photographed. It'll just be the most 'probable' license plate based on some inscrutable probability distribution that is locked inside black box that even the developer of the software cannot explain. I fear explaining that to a jury could be really hard.

"The generated code might not always be correct. In that case, run it again lmao" is the best documentation I've read all week.

I've been building a ChatGPT project this week and this explanation is so true it made me actually lol. Sometimes it's impressively flawless, sometimes it gets stuck in broken patterns... Even if the inputs are identical.

"Monkey around with the prompt and pray" has replaced unit testing.
