I’m thinking that even ChatGPT is overrated - to simplify it’s a query(smart/ai/algorithmic) to a very unstructured database (although translated to structured along the processing).

I think it could be game changing in many ways, but I can also see both of these falling apart. Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri were thought to be g…

Measuring how useful something is by how much money it makes is like measuring a life by how intelligent it is.

When I ask ChatGPT a question, it explains it's reasoning and gives me concepts I can follow up with googling to learn more. When I use Google for research, I get articles written for SEO to push products and often have to refine and refine and refine to get something useful, which I then can follow up by googling to learn more. With difficulty. Honestly I don't know how much I'd use ChatGPT if I had the internet of…

Careful, It explains but both answer and explanation are sometimes completely hallucinated, it sometimes looks like a plausible answer, but actually it completely made up. And this happens way too often for me to take it seriously for now.
