From one of the replies: “This is awesome. I also love how 20% of the zip codes are wrong. Messy AI future seems really fun and chaotic.”
Only they aren't. Check the video again, they come out fine.
Edit: Oh dang, you're all right, several of them have wrong digits. :l
51s -- "We are truly grateful", says the heartfelt thankyou card that was written by an algorithm in a spreadsheet.
The amount of 90% sensible, 10% ridiculously wrong computer generated crap we’re about to send into real humans’ brains makes my head spin. There’s truly an awful AI Winter ahead and it consists of spending a substantial amount of your best brain cycles on figuring out whether a real person wrote that thing to you (and it’s worth figuring out what they meant in case of some weird wording) or it was a computer generat…

Do I understand that correctly? When I have to create a spreadsheet like this, there are 2 options. Option 1 I write a table zipcode to state and use this table to generate my column. If I carefully check my table my spreadsheet would be okay. Option 2 I ask GPT3 to do my work. But I have to check the whole spreadsheet for errors.
Now wait for =deep_dream() or maybe =stable_diffusion() as a graph-generating function! (Graphs plotted with this function will of course zoom in infinitely but the further you go the more eyes and shiba dogs you'll notice in the corners ...)

It depends on how people use the tools. For example the thank you note one -- if someone just prints off the output of this and sends it, yeah, that's bad. But if someone uses this to do 90% of the work and then just edits it to make it personal and sound like themselves, then it's just a great time saving tool. I mean, in this exact example, 70 years ago you'd have to hand address each thank you card by hand from sc…
> But if someone uses this to do 90% of the work and then just edits it to make it personal and sound like themselves, then it's just a great time saving tool. This is still way too optimistic. Reading through something that's "almost right", seeing the errors when you already basically know what it says / what it's meant to say, and fixing them, is hard. People won't do it well, and so even in this scenario we often…

What about subtle formatting differences (Country, Territory, Postal code is the norm. Doesn't have to be.). What if we applied this to hand written addresses? (Adding an OCR component). I'm sure the USPS is already doing this and more, and if not, there's probably some AI jobs lined up for it :)
Yes, USPS has Remote Encoding Centers (REC) to handle handwritten address that can't be recognized with OCR. So AI is already there, just that humans are for harder and tedious jobs ;-)
Increasingly less so ;-)
