Try asking code-davinci-002 instead of text-davinci-003. curl https://api.openai.com/v1/completions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \ -d '{ "model": "code-davinci-002", "prompt": "##### Create a regular expression to match words starting with 'dog' or ending with 'cat'.\n \n### Java Code", "temperature": 0, "max_tokens": 182, "top_p": 1, "frequency_penalty": 0, "pres…

Pretty sure that regexp is wrong though? Wouldn’t having ‘\b’ on both sides match beginning AND end? It’s got the parenthesis for the ‘|’ in the wrong place.

It’s definitely not doing what the prompt asked for.

The generated regex is the same as

    (\bdog\b)|(\bcat\b)
https://regex101.com/r/vTtEU4/1

I’m currently trying to figure out how to match a word starting with dog without using

    \bdog.*
because

    .*
would proceed to eat the rest of the line.

So I was thinking I could say

    \bdog[^\b]*
But that doesn’t work, it also ends up eating the rest of the line as well.

I've been using ChatGPT pretty consistently during the workday and have found it useful for open ended programming questions, "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text, etc. $20/month useful is questionable though, especially with all the filters. My "in between" solution has been to configure BetterTouchTool (Mac App) with a hotkey for "Transform & Replace Selection with Javascript". This i…

> And it's cheaper than $20/month, Since the $20/month is for priority access to new features and priority access including during high-load times, not API access (a separatr offering not yet available), I don't understand the cost comparison. What you are proposing does not substitute for any part of the $20/month offering over the basic free product.

He's a programmer. They re cheaper than scrooge. They'll write a tool themselves in 6 months rather than spend 10 dollars.

Idk why but programmers are the cheapest people on earth in regards to programming tools.

I bought Intellij idea for $400 like 12 years ago and got made fun of at work even though it made me substantially faster than eclipse.

$20/month seems more reasonable than the rumored $42 (likely a Hitchhiker's Guide reference) If you are willing to pay for this service, why? What are your use cases?

Brainstorming all kind of subjects studied in uni. It gets me a lot of ideas to look up elsewhere, as I cannot take its suggestions as facts directly. Also use it similar to Grammarly. For $20 I would sign up without hesitation if it means it will not go down as often.

Exactly, I pay $12 for Grammarly which ChatGPT does way better. Also great for brainstorming ideas and having fun.

I'm curious, what filters are you hitting that impede your effective use of ChatGPT? I've definitely seen some irritating outputs, e.g. progressive policy planks characterized as inherently good and correct positions, but only when I went looking for them. The guardrails haven't actually kept me from making use of it.

It's almost useless for writing fiction. The AI clearly has some idea of how, but any time anything even slightly less than perfectly-G-rated happens in the story, it hits the filters. Actually, it's even more restrictive than that implies. You can't so much as have two siblings quarrel without the AI insisting on turning it into a moral. Right then and there, immediately, never mind the concept of "Stories longer th…

Use the playground. Why would you use the chat interface for text generation? It is for questions and answers. Use the model directly on the playground for your purpose, and you won't hit such filters .

Can you explain what you mean by "stealth model"? What is it, who discovered it and how, etc?

https://github.com/waylaidwanderer/node-chatgpt-api This repo talks about it.

This feels like a recipe for getting your OpenAI account banned, and probably fairly tbh.

I wonder if the fact that the API may expect user tokens, but this doesn't provide them may be correlated with the bug people are experiencing with getting other peoples completions.

I'll bet (ever increasing) restrictions and filters will become the norm for these "open-ended" services. Only OSS will break them. With so much money in play now, Managers are in charge, and Risk management is their favourite toy. Copyright risk, reputational risk, security risk, you name it.

Eventually they're going to connect these AI's to some sort of planning algorithm and then they'll actually be able to do things and serve as a digital assistant. (We're approaching Skynet territory here, but I think AI will remain flawed enough that it stays at subhuman intelligence.) The restrictions on such an AI will have to be extreme. But... I predict people will pool their resources and build their own digital…

There is a GPT-3 like model called GLM-130B that runs on a computer with 8x DGX 3090 24gb. That's under $20k.

$20 is the very first price tier introduced at the very outset of what could be one of the most powerful companies of our generation. Google.com adding a single yellow box with an advertisement seemed reasonable, too. Anyone else having serious concerns about the direction this is going? At my wife's company they have already largely replaced an hourly data classification job with ChatGPT. This announcement is the fi…

It's going to hit so unevenly. My partner works with children at a homeless shelter, I'm an algorithm designer. I'm certain my job will be obsolete before my partner's is. It's going to automate away nearly all pure desk jobs. Starting with data entry, like you've seen, but it'll come for junior SDEs and data scientists too. Customer service, then social media/PR, then marketing, as it culls the white collar. Graphic…

> It's going to be fascinating. I can't think of a time in the past where white-collar jobs have been made obsolete like this.

Only thing that comes to mind is South Korea where most are highly educated and it's hard to get white collar jobs and the trashman makes $200K.

It is going to be fascinating. I'm 50/50 on this ending in a Star Trek future , or a Dystopian nightmare.

what sad times we live in

I find it truly fascinating that "machine learning company doesn't want powerful tool to be weaponized for bigoted ends" and "modern citizens following major media expect their media to treat weaponized AI as a bad thing" makes times sad. From my perspective, a ChatGPT in the hands of the worst of our society pumping out endless telegram, whatsapp, instagram, twitter etc bigotry and propaganda would be a far sadder t…

>Honestly, we're at a time when weaponized chatGPT is powerful enough to easily topple most democratic nations. It could control the outcome of elections, if weaponized sufficiently.

Unless chatGPT is granted voting rights, it literally can't. If the majority of people vote for something and those people are all legally registered voters in the place where they vote and the votes are being tallied in a fair and accurate way, then there's nothing undemocratic about that election.

You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?

No. I'm a salaried employee. Marginal time/effort savings do not directly translate into more money for me. But the $20 charge hits my bank account today. Perhaps if I use it consistently enough and in smart enough ways I will be perceived to be a more valuable/productive employee, which might translate to a raise. But that's a lot of maybes. I'm sure it will get to that point eventually, but by then the value will b…

If you outperform your peers and get a raise just 6 months sooner that pays for itself.

You realize that near human-level AI for $20/month is a bargain in a country where typical mobile phone plan is $25+, and is basically universally affordable?

I love how we have some incredible AI that saves hundreds or thousands of hours a year and the in typical fashion the replies below are complaining about the cost. Rofl
