How do you know the information you're getting is factual?

I will ask you the same question about the information which you read on the internet. Whatever your answer is, apply that to ChatGPT. It is no different.

Stochastic parrots don't give you the original source. In fact they make up sources on the spot.

That is worse than a search engine.

I have no idea what to do right now, I use ChatGPT all day while studying new concepts. It condenses time needed to understand complex new information by several magnitudes, and at this juncture studying without it seems pointless, it's rapidly become an extra layer in my brain.

> I have no idea what to do right now

Well, humanity has managed to "know what to do" for thousands of years but here you are, completely lost without ChatGPT. Achievement unlocked .

Please do not rely on these tools, they should not be a dependency of your thinking. My bookshelf have a 100% uptime!

Next you'll tell me I shouldn't use a calculator, or a computer at all. The conceptual level at which I work benefits massively from the recent developments in LLMs, and to stop training myself for the new meta means to drastically fall behind and possibly miss my goals. There is absolutely no reason not to evolve alongside this new technology.

The calculator is not a service but a tool. Until LLMS don't become just a tool don't rely on them too much or expect it be broken and have a workaround for that.

If you have an Apple Silicon machine, combine [0] with [1] for state of the art local code completion and general Q/A. [0] https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/WizardCoder-Python-34B-V1.0-... [1] https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

How does it compare to GPT4 these days? The article yesterday made it sound like it's getting close.

This post from today says that Llama 2 7b performs at the level of gpt-4, but 30x cheaper.

This is a level of dystopian helplessness I have a hard time wrapping my head around.

Oh come off it lol

LLMs are not a bad tool, provided you control them. Using Llama 2 deployed locally is far from dystopian.

Imagine that the calculator breaks, and you need to do some quick math. (Yeah, yeah, I know. Cell Phones and such.) It is good to know how to do math without a calculator for those edge cases where one is not available, or when you can't do the equations that you need with it.

Calculators are good. Calculators are useful. Calculators accelerate your workflow beyond what your ancestors could do. Not knowing how to do math without one is still a hindrance, hence why we still need math classes. You need to know the underlying theory of why the calculators do what they do in order for them to be useful.

It's the same with ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a fantastic tool that can benefit your workflow. I use it all the time myself. However, being 100% dependent on it for work is a dangerous game. If it goes down(like today) or the company behind it makes a change that makes it less useful, you still need to know how to do your job without it. That's why OP's comment is worrying. They said that they feel unable to work without it. It reminds me of that Avengers quote: "If you are nothing without the Iron Man suit, you shouldn't have it."

Yes, ChatGPT is down. https://status.openai.com/ Upon logging in, I noticed it suddenly downgraded me to free although billing is current. People are reporting they also lost Plus subscriptions and all chat history. https://community.openai.com/t/suddenly-downgraded-to-free/9... I also got blocked by Cloudflare, so am unable to post with my Ray IDs. People are also reporting this. https://community.openai.com/t/im-bl…

This happened to me two days ago. I was downgraded to free, but when I clicked the upgrade button, it showed my billing was up to date.

Logging out and back in fixed it.

I just use it to kick start my learning process. It's basically the quick summary of Topic. And I ask GPT to cite sources. Then you can jump into to more authoritative articles/etc. Can't trust it blindly.

This is the proper way to use ChatGPT. Relying on it as a source is a bad idea. However, it's handy for finding reliable sources to read further.
