Clicked on the second one and was immediately presented with a course to teach me how to use this fancy new AI-powered technology to revolutionize my business! Puts a certain taste in my mouth.

That's all twitter is these days. People writing content to drive engagement with some silly hook to sell whatever it is they're selling.

I scrolled down. I shouldn't have scrolled down.

Yes you can cherry pick things that work very well, in the meantime it still can't rhyme in French, which is 12 years old type of intelligence It's wrong > 50% of the time for anything semi complex and semi niche, that's not AGI, no one in the field of AI argue it's AGI, only people on twitter and reddit with absolutely no background in tech and/or AI argue it's AGI It's a very very very good chatbot, built with very…

I can't rhyme in French either. A lot of these comments just remind me of that Alan Kay quote: “Artificial intelligence is what we don’t know how to do yet.” In the past year we've got models that can draw, write poetry and code better than a significant percentage of people, and now the goal posts are moving so fast they're even hard to see. I'd probably agree that we're still a few breakthroughs away from something…

I have a really really really hard time thinking we're even remotely close to AGI when I see stuff like:

You must have a really convoluted definition of AGI to come to the conclusion gpt is AGI when it proves times and times again it quite literally have no understanding of what it writes

This current moment is super impressive, but the output of the models is still mediocre. I worry that over the next 12-24 months, we'll be overwhelmed with autogenerated content (docs, apps, games, news) that gets a B- or C. Once the novelty wears off, no one wants to play your [terrible] autogenerated asteroid clone. There are a lot of startups that are two LLMs in a trench coat, and they will not be able to improve…

Your BAD autogenerated asteroid clone. "Give it time" people will say, but how does one prompt ChatGPT to make a game fun, or a story actually interesting?

There are a lot of bad hobby games out there already. Telling human programmers "make this fun" doesn't reliably work, because being able to design good games is a skill with very little overlap with programming. If anything it has overlap with UX design, and we all know the stereotypes about programmer-built UIs. It's certainly possible to learn both skills, but taking away the need to be good at programming won't decrease the average quality of games made.

How are people using this? Is there a public beta or do they have special API keys? To avoid spam, regarding the comment above - it all felt "surreal" to me until I realized how wrong ChatGPT is most of the time. Not only that, but I am writing in Python now (a language I don't use) and realize that while ChatGPT can give hints, it's definitely nowhere near replacing mid devs, let alone seniors and architects and I c…

chat.openai.com, create an account and upgrade it to plus ($20/mo). There’s currently limits on how many messages you can send. There’s also an API.

Does Plus give API access? Last time I looked it didn't, I think the waitlist is still the only option.

We are hearing about new, improved parrots on an almost daily basis.

And no matter how many W16 you put in a bugatti veyron it will never be a space shuttle I don't get how people, especially here of all places, fall for such things

Are you not familiar with the process of software engineering?

Replacing parts until you get a space shuttle is exactly how systems are evolved.

see it's already passed the Turing test:

It's so bad that I feel nauseous each time I see a tweet with the "finger pointing down" emoji indicating "thread below".

I agree. The use cases are still far too limited to be of use at the scale beyond Canva or something. They will pay to automate the creation of social media graphics and emails, because nobody wants to work on those. But then what?

I'm not saying humans consistently make good games, but we do know that humans can make good games. The question is can ChatGPT. If it's supposed to reach a the ranks of a general intelligence, it should be able to. I'm not sure how it can.

> they will not be able to improve faster than people's expectations increase. I've never read a better explanation for why "we will never have AGI." As the objective quality of AI output increases, we simply value it less.

Quality is objective, value is not.

Can Midjourney copy DeviantArt/ArtStation to levels far beyond mine? Yes.

Does the market value DeviantArt/Artstation output to any level? No.
