What do you use it for?

I went for a walk and had a conversation about Rademacher complexity and VC-dimension of a classifier, then I asked it to quiz my understanding based on what we talked about. It's almost at the level on "Her" but you have a very knowledgeable tutor to ask who won't judge and is always available.

Thats a pretty neat use of chatgpt. My sister is prepping for USMLE. Wonder if she can do something like this too.

When you have a question, there's no answer on Google and you don't know who else to ask.

what an example of a question only chatgpt knows ?

Obscure command-line invocations, some specialist topic that's not discussed much online. Usually I Google something first and if I can't see any straightforward answer in a couple of minutes I'll ask ChatGPT.

For example I don't know much about electronics so I asked it how design a circuit for a problem I had and it came up with a useful answer.

Not sure if it’s related or not but I noticed the UX has changed on the web interface and when I ask for code, it now defaults to running it through an interpreter with a hidden view by default. This is very annoying to me as I want to mostly read the code, not have it be executed without any context

On the bright side, in some cases at least it includes a test case, runs it, and if it fails then reads the error and tries to fix the code, all in a single run.

are you writing Python code? I wonder if this behavior just applies to Python as I recall code interpreter is Python only.

The value it haves for you may exceed or not its price. But "you" is an important part of that equation.

What value does a procedural text generator provide?

I’m a little perplexed at why you feel the need to refer to it in reductionist terms like this? It seems to provide a lot of value considering that it has 100 million weekly active users.

I regularly find myself using it a dozen times a day. I feel like the only reason someone wouldn’t find it useful is if they weren’t ever doing anything new.

Depends on where it sits on a spectrum between, say, a dumb Markov chain, and a human like you and me. GPT-4 is definitely closer to the latter than to the former.

> GPT-4 is definitely closer to the latter than to the former. That’s a seriously dubious statement.

If you think about how people use and perceive the technology, it’s not that dubious.

I don't work in tech and I use LLaMa. It is great for writing overviews of a subject which I use to make sure I have most of my bases covered (and helping me see which of my ideas are more original), getting more examples, along with other creative tasks. Getting it to compare two subjects to see what they have in common is usually quite helpful.

The issue is i tried using these types of tools for a while and each response is inaccurate. It becomes annoying to constantly ask it to correct it or having to doubt the output. Works well for what is statistically likely to be abundant in information but you know that’s usually of little value.

what would a ordinary person use all these for beyond curiosities? I pay for but i only use it handful of times after i remind myself to use it .

But free chatgpt or bard work good enough for most of such questions

for me it’s really worth it, and use it as a starting point rather than spending time sifting through garbage google results. I am using it to study math, to ask about css frameworks, about api best practices, SQL dialects, and so many more things. Then i can drill in and go to source documents if I want to. It took me a while to see the value, however now i feel i have a “generalist” assistant and use it as much as i can.
