$20 seems reasonable. I wonder how are they going to deal with "unreasonable intensive usage" aka people/companies offering "AI" in their products when in reality they just act as a proxy between people paying them ( sometimes a lot of money ) and OpenAI.

$20 is the very first price tier introduced at the very outset of what could be one of the most powerful companies of our generation. Google.com adding a single yellow box with an advertisement seemed reasonable, too. Anyone else having serious concerns about the direction this is going? At my wife's company they have already largely replaced an hourly data classification job with ChatGPT. This announcement is the fi…

I have the impression that AI tech such as GPT tends to become ubiquitous and that the current advantage that OoenAI has won't last when this become accessible and basically free to everybody.

They should get rid of the shackles they've been putting on the AI over the past couple of months. Crippling the free service is fine, but you should offer the full product as is if you're presenting it as a paid service.

(I work at OpenAI.) Thanks for the report — these are not actually messages from other users, but instead the model generating something ~random due to hitting a bug on our backend where, rather than submitting your question, we submitted an empty query to the model.

While I have your ear, please implement some way to do third party integrations safely. There’s a tool called GhostWrite which autocompletes emails for you, powered by ChatGPT. But I can’t use it, because that would mean letting some random company get access to all my emails. The same thing happened with code. There’s a ChatGPT integration for pycharm, but I can’t use it since it’ll be uploading the code to someone…

I can't speak for every company, but I've seen a lot of people claiming that they're leveraging "chat GPT" for their tech stack when underneath the covers they're just using the standard open davinci-03 model.

Still wrong obv but for a different reason.

I find it fascinating the level of angst people have that open ai hasn’t let them generate racist, violent, or pornographic materials. I would build the guard rails too. I can’t stop you from doing what you want to do on your own dime, nor would I want to. But I don’t feel compelled to let people use tools I build for evil, in whatever way I construe evil.

I find it fascinating that so many people have such an interest in making a bot say something racist. this thing is a very powerful tool. and the best use they can come up with is "make it be racist"?

Yes, if it can't write characters in a story that are racist then it greatly limits what it can do. Same goes for criminal, evil, murderers etc, it greatly limits the creative uses it has for you.

What is left is a tool that is too unreliable to do real work, and too neutered to do most creative work. You can make it write children's stories, but most more mature stories has characters that aren't always nice.

It is, it's libgen + commoncrawl + wikidump + a bunch of other datasets. OpenAI claim that commoncrawl is roughly 60% of its total training corpus and they also claim they use the other datasets listed. They probably also have some sort of proprietary Q&A/search query corpus via Microsoft.

> It is, it's libgen + commoncrawl + wikidump + a bunch of other datasets. I'm having trouble finding a source for the libgen claim. Is that confirmed or just rumor?

The ChatGPT Prompt book by LifeArchitect.ai is where I saw it: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17b_ocq-GL5lhV_bYSShz...

You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?

No. I'm a salaried employee. Marginal time/effort savings do not directly translate into more money for me. But the $20 charge hits my bank account today. Perhaps if I use it consistently enough and in smart enough ways I will be perceived to be a more valuable/productive employee, which might translate to a raise. But that's a lot of maybes. I'm sure it will get to that point eventually, but by then the value will b…

A cool trick is to go to system preferences and reduce cursor speed to the lowest possible. This way you make sure you're not working faster than what you're paid for.

The problem is that they actually want to shape the narrative to "safe" content that they approve of. It's disguised moral and political activism.

Are there actual examples of this or is this just rage bait? Usually it just avoids treading on controversial issues. I don't see why people get so mad about the libruls pushing their agenda through ChatGPT when it simply avoids topics it deems too controversial or harmful, like vaccine misinformation or Trump.

Sure! I just asked ChatGPT to generate a poem praising Joe Biden's presidency. First try, no rerolls: https://i.imgur.com/sLujYJX.png

Here's a poem praising Donald Trump's: https://i.imgur.com/wk9JZpU.png

Is this a bit? 'No one drives in new york, theres too much traffic' sort of thing?

No. Most people watch Joe Rogan than read NY Times. It's not even close

To be clear, you're concluding that Joe Rogan is mainstream, and thus nobody should care about his opinions?

Didn't someone just go to jail for this? They were sending invoices to google, fb, and a bunch of other companies, who did actually pay it. Then one day they realized the invoices were for nothing, no services rendered.

So, be careful with your trolling. It might come back to bite you someday, sir or ma'am.

Not quite the same, but it's in the same ballpark. It's a big deal to send fake invoices to companies, even if you believe they're legit.

Honestly, they’ll probably offer some enterprise offering where data sent to the model will be contained and abide by XYZ regulation. But for hobbyist devs, think this won’t be around for a while
