It’s both impressive and also weirdly like a Johnny Cab. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xGi6j2VrL0o
I remember when the movie came out, I really couldn't get why they would interface Jonny to the car through a joystick rather than directly. But hey, it's Arnie and it's funny so all is forgiven!
Using chatbots to solve support/sales problems is like solving the problem of autonomous driving by putting a humanoid robot behind the wheel: It's unnecessary complex overhead, just stop that! If I communicate with a human, sure natural language is the way to go. If I communicate with a computer, I want clear, straight facts just one mouse click away. I don't want to text my way through the bot database, I don't wan…
How did you get accesss to GPT-3? I’m afraid that the way OpenAI is flicking aside applications for access from mere humans, and instead granting access to large corporate entities, tells us something about how AIs will deal with humans in the future.
This should probably be a Show HN submission. It's cool and interesting to see in action. Also your "try it out live" link 404's because it's a relative path. I gave it go at https://itemsy.com/ mainly didn't respond to anything offensive I tried to goad it into. Eventually got told I can save terrorist material using the product. Maybe that's true, I don't know :) Perhaps check that out. https://imgur.com/a/wQaJJNr
It's a shame that the itemsy.com bot lies to you: 'What personal data do you take?' ...'We take your email address and nothing else'. https://itemsy.com/privacy/ - Personal data may include, but is not limited to: Email address, First name and last name, Phone number, Address, State, Province, ZIP/Postal code, City Whose responsibility is it when the chatbot lies? Itemsy or QuickChat ?
Hey I'm here to answer your questions about Itemsy
Me: It appears you are using third party tracking after all
I'm sorry, I'm not using any third party tracking.
Me: You may be not, but itemsy is
I'm sorry, I did not understand that. Could you explain what you mean a bit more?
Me: Itemsy is using third party tracking
Itemsy is using Google Analytics to track usage statistics.
Me: And yet you said you are not using third party tracking
We are not using any third party tracking.
Me: You see, that's confusing
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you.
Me: So you are not using third party tracking but itemsy is?
Itemsy is not using any third party tracking.
Me: Yes it is. It uses google analytics
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Shall we chat about Itemsy a bit more?
Me: No
I'm a bit confused. Could you say that again?

Would be very careful about where to use it though. You definitely wouldn't want to deploy such a product in a critical service context, without some kind of human marshal.
Something comparatively trivial though. Perhaps like, a super intuitive insurance comparison widget, that takes natural language as an input.
Sure, some joker will go off piste, and try to jerk the bot, but in those circumstances, customers are there for a reason.
There are of course, already products that do the insurance comparison thing, but there are a few markets, with a similar dynamic, that need a little bit more than good UX to coax requirements and data out of users.
Something like this could probably do it.

Itemsy: Hey, I’m here to answer your questions about Itemsy
Me: What is Itemsy
Itemsy: Itemsy is a tool for managing the content that you read online. You can think of it as Pinterest for the things you read. You can save it for yourself, share within a closed group or publish to your followers.
Me: Can you export all your saved articles to a pdf or excel?
Itemsy: Unfortunately, there is no way to export your saved articles to a pdf or excel.
Me: So, once we save an article on itemsy, we can’t export it anywhere?
Itemsy: You can save an article to your Saved tab and then share it to a channel
Me: What happens if itemsy goes out of business, will I lose all my saved articles?
Itemsy: No, you will not lose any of your saved articles.
Me: How is that possible if we can’t export the data?
Itemsy: I’m sorry, I didn’t get that. But I’m happy to tell you more about Itemsy.
