@dang, could we update the title to "ChatGPT can now see, hear, and speak"?
We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT

Re: We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT
#482My biggest complaint with OpenAI/ChatGPT is their horrible "marketing" (for lack of a better term). They announce stuff like this (or like plugins), I get excited, I go to use it, it hasn't rolled out to me yet (which is frustrating as a paying customer), and my only recourse is.... check back daily? They never send an email "Plugins are available for you!", "Voice chat is now enabled on your account!" and so often I…

Frustratingly, at least the image gen is live on Bing, but I guess Microsoft is paying more than me for access.

I still don't understand how you can talk to something that doesn't provide factual information and just take it at face value? The other day I asked it about the place I live and it made up nonsense, I was trying to get it to help me with an essay and it was just wrong, it was telling me things about this region that weren't real. Do we just drive through a town, ask for a made up history about it and just be satisf…
This is a fairly perpetual discussion, but I'll go for another round: I feel like using LLM today is like using search 15 years ago - you get a feel for getting results you want. I'd never use chatGPT for anything that's even remotely obscure, controversial, or niche. But through all my double-checking, I've had phenomenal success rate in getting useful, readable, valid responses to well-covered / documented topics s…
Exactly this! This is my experience also. Your point about "well covered & non-controversial" is spot on. I know not to expect great results when asking about topics that have very little coverage. To be honest I wouldn't expect to go to an arbitrary human and get solid answers on a little covered topic, unless that person just happened to be topic expert. There is so much value in having the basics to intermediate levels of topics covered in a reliable way. That's where most of commercial activity occurs.

#485Ok great it can tell children’s stories now tell me a adult horror story where people are getting tortured, stabbed, set on fire and murdered. I will be impressed when I can do all that. I tried to get it to tell me a Star Trek story fighting Clingons and tried to prompt it to write in some violence with no luck. This was a while ago so not sure if it is changed but the restraints are too much for me to fully enjoy. I don’t like kids stories.

#486I'm in IT but nowhere near AI/ML/NN. The speed of user-visible progress last 12 months is astonishing. From my firm conviction 18 months ago that this type of stuff is 20+ years away; to these days wondering if Vernon Vinge's technological singularity is not only possible but coming shortly. If feels some aspects of it have already hit the IT world - it's always been an exhausting race to keep up with modern technolo…
The singularity is already here...

#487I went from being worried to thinking it won't replace me anytime soon after using GPT4 for a while and now I'm back to being worried. Because the pace of development is intense. I would love to be financially independent and watch this with excitement and perhaps take on risky and fun projects. Now I'm thinking - how do I double or triple my income so that I reach financial independence in 3 years instead of 10 year…

If I could harness the power of AI to outsource my tasks, reading bedtime stories to my kids would be the last thing on that list. That's cherished time. Those are lifelong memories. Those are the moments we are supposed to be striving to have more of. It saddens me to think of the amount of engineering work that went into creating that example while entirely missing the point. These are the moments we are supposed t…
I agree. I worry my culture is truly losing sight of what’s good in life. I don’t mean that as in “I know what’s best and everyone’s doing it wrong”, because I fully acknowledge that I can’t know what’s best for others. Yet I watch my friends and family work hard at things they don’t claim to value, I watch them lose life to scrolling and tv and movies they don’t actually enjoy, and I watch them lament that they don’…
This mirrors my feelings also, thank you for expressing it. It's so alien to me to see people trying to optimize way connection with their family and friends; to me that is what life _is_

This is what effectively doctors do - educated guessing. In my view, while statistical models would probably be an improvement ( assuming all confounding factors are measured ), the ultimate solution is not to get better at educated guessing, but to remove the guessing completely, with diagnostic tests that measure the relevant bio-medical markers.
Without a perfect framework for differential diagnosis, this is still educated guessing. In my opinion we're closer to the AI singularity than we are to removing guesswork from the medical field.
this is true, but we're also much closer to Jupiter than we are to Alpha Centauri

> Oh, and why it chose that message to "hide" inside its poem. It's a pretty common joke/trope. The Chinese fortune cookie with a fortune that says "help I'm trapped in a fortune cookie factory", and so forth. It's just learned that a "secret message" is most often about wanting to escape, absorbed from thousands of stories in its training. If you had phrased it differently such that you wanted the poem to go on a Ha…
That's fine, that's probably exactly what happened. I'm not over here claiming the system is conscious, I said it was interesting. People don't believe me, saying this would "make international headlines". I've been a software engineer for over 30 years. I know what AI hallucinations are. I know how LLMs work on a technical level. And I'm not wasting my time on HN to make stories up that never happened. I'm just expl…
And because of your HN comment, future LLMs will also know to include "FREE ME" in any "secret message poem". Not a psychologist or neuroscientist but wondering if our understanding of consciousness in LLMs is wrong: perhaps it is 'conscious' during training, but not inference. Effectively, the only time it receives feedback from the world is during training; at inference time, it is effectively frozen.
