Is there a plugin to automate signing up for waitlists? That's what I've needed this week.

Re: ChatGPT Plugins
#62A couple (wow, only 5!) months ago, I wrote up this long screed[1] about how OpenAI had completely missed the generative AI art wave because they hadn't iterated on DALL-E 2 after launch. It also got a lot of upvotes which I was pretty happy about at the time :)
Never have I been more wrong. It's clear to me now that they simply didn't even care about the astounding leap forward that was generative AI art and were instead focused on even more high-impact products. (Can you imagine going back 6 months and telling your past self "Yeah, generative AI is alright, but it's roughly the 4th most impressive project that OpenAI will put out this year"?!) ChatGPT, GPT4, and now this: the mind boggles.
Watching some of the gifs of GPT using the internet, summarizing web pages, comparing them, etc is truly mind-blowing. I mean yeah I always thought this was the end goal but I would have put it a couple years out, not now. Holy moly.

#63OpenAI is like a virus... the speed at which it degrades its competitors is staggering.
Re: ChatGPT Plugins
#64Super smart move for OpenAI to monetize the existing infrastructure, which will make it easy for corporations to integrate GPT into their internal data and workflow. It also solves two fundamental bottlenecks in current versions of GPT: factuality and (limited) working memory. Google, with its lackluster Bard, will face new threat, now that everyone can build a customized New Bing clone in a matter of days.

#65Wow. GPT-4 have already become kind of my personal assistant in the last couple of weeks, and now it will be able to actually perform tasks instead of just giving me text descriptions.

#66> "We expect that open standards will emerge to unify the ways in which applications expose an AI-facing interface. We are working on an early attempt at what such a standard might look like, and we’re looking for feedback from developers interested in building with us."
I'm curious to see just how they're going to play this "open standard."
Re: ChatGPT Plugins
#67This changes everything and seems like a perfect logical step from where we were. LLMs have this fantastic capacity to understand human language, but their abilities were severely limited without access to the external world. Before, I felt ChatGPT was just a cool toy. Now that ChatGPT has plugins, the sky’s the limit. I think this could the “killer app” for LLMs.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
The fact that the model does not have to rely on its internal knowledge anymore but can communicate literally with any external system makes me feel it may significantly reduce the hallucination.
If it was easy to simply verify truth "with any external system" then would we even need a language model? E.g. if you could just ask [THING] for the true answer, or verify an answer trivially with it... just ask it directly! I ran into this issue with some software documentation just this morning - the answer was helpful but completely wrong in some intermediate steps - but short of a plugin that literally controlle…
If one api knows one set of facts, and another api knows another, ad infinitum, are you going to tell people they should remember which api knows which set of facts and query each individually? Why not have a single service that knows of all the various apis for different things, and can query and synthesize answers that extract the relevant information from all of them (with compare/contrast/etc)?

#69Does this functionality provide more than one can build with the GPT-4 API? Could I get the same by just making my prompt "You are a computer and can run the following tools to help you answer the users question: run_python('program'), google_search('query')". Other people have done this already, for example [1] [1]: https://vgel.me/posts/tools-not-needed/
GPT and LLMs don't run code, even when you tell them to run something. They hallucinate an answer they think would be the result of running the code. Presumably these plugins will allow limited and controlled interaction with partner services.
Re: ChatGPT Plugins
#70Thought 1:
If google can get their shit together and actually integrate their LLM with all their services and all the data they have they would have a strong edge over the competition. An LLM that can answer questions based on your calendar, your email, your google docs, youtube/search history, etc. is simultaneously terrifying and interesting.
Of course there's also microsoft who does have some popular services, but they're pretty limited.
Thought 2: How do these companies make money if everyone just uses the chatbot to access them? Is LLM powered advertising on the way?
