Feels like we are going see the bring your own AI/LLM going forward. There will be tools lke Github copilot, ghostwriter and what not. One is not going to pay for all of them and specially when they are going to be powered by the same thing in the backend.

So, more like there would see a marketplace of these tools which you can connect with your api/subscription to power them.

I would enjoy a world like that.

I don't really see the issue. You are using a service called GhostWrite which uses ChatGPT under the hood. OpenAI/ChatGPT would be considered a sub-processor of GhostWrite. What am I missing?

How are they using ChatGPT - is there an API? Or is this simply abuse of TOS?

They're not using ChatGPT, they're using GPT-3, which has an API. There is a ChatGPT API coming but it's not available yet.

It is infuriating how everyone is describing all GPT models as "ChatGPT". It's very misleading.

He's a programmer. They re cheaper than scrooge. They'll write a tool themselves in 6 months rather than spend 10 dollars. Idk why but programmers are the cheapest people on earth in regards to programming tools. I bought Intellij idea for $400 like 12 years ago and got made fun of at work even though it made me substantially faster than eclipse.

Was IntelliJ Community Edition free at the time?

I think so but I wanted some of the paid features. Even still, if you look at the costs it's NOTHING. Lets just say it's $400/year. That comes out to about $1.5 a day. I'm earning at that time $284 per day.

It probably reduced my work stress by 20% so this was incredibly cheap. And even then I used that license for 2 years, so it was really 75 cents a day. Developers will spend $5 on a bagel but not $5 a day for tools, it's pretty wild

Off topic, but my favourite thing about GPT is the way it shamelessly lies, sometimes.

I asked "What is GPT3" and it told me it was developed by Microsoft. I asked what did OpenAI have to do with GPT3, it said "nothing". I pinned it to the wall with a link to the Wikipedia page and it acknowledged Microsoft invested in GPT-3....

Asked again just now, being honest now.

(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. That's why you see just the answers and no question upon refresh — the question has been effectively dropped for this request. Team is fixing the issue…

Do you send an invoice for 700K to everyone who looks at and reads your "works" and then remembers them?

If you don't, you're supremely hypocritical.

ChatGPT is, for most use cases, a simple conversational wrapper around GPT3.5 which is available via API. You can make your own ChatGPT by giving the following prompt to GPT3.5: The following is a transcript between a helpful AI assistant and a human. The AI assistant can provide factual information (but only from before mid 2021, when its training data cuts off), ask clarifying questions, and engage in chit chat. Tr…

I've been trying to figure out how the ChatGPT UI manages to keep the conversation context when it's over the limits of what the model can ingest. I even tried asking ChatGPT :D

Its context window is quite large -- 8192 tokens, where a token is about ~4 characters. But it's quite possible they are using GPT itself to summarize the older parts of the conversation so they can fit more in by only keeping the important bits.

Our plans for the future We plan to refine and expand this offering based on your feedback and needs. ChatGPT, suggest plans and refinements to ChatGPT. I wonder what the recursion level limit is.

# ChatGPT, suggest plans and refinements to ChatGPT. As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or desires. However, some possible ways to improve or refine ChatGPT could include: * Fine-tuning the model on specific domains or tasks to increase its accuracy and relevance for those areas. * Incorporating additional data sources and knowledge bases to enhance its understanding and responses. * Using techn…

> As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions, but I can observe that some users may find it distracting or annoying if I provide moral or ethical lectures in my responses.

Wait wait wait. Why does it say "observe"?

Like, for everything else in the answer I kind of get what the generation process is, but why does it say "I can observe"? Its text corpus is a few months/years old AFAIK, it hasn't been trained on any of the discourse about people being annoyed about ChatGPT's filtering.

Maybe the same reinforcement learning that makes it use the first person and say lots of stuff about how it's been programmed also makes it "pretend" that it knows what people have been saying about it?

I dunno, maybe it's a fluke, but that word choice in particular puzzles me a bit.

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…

If you outperform your peers and get a raise just 6 months sooner that pays for itself.

Or as you used a non sanctioned tool in a corporate environment with murkiness around IP and copyright and quite likely exposed confidential information to a 3rd party you get disciplined or fired.

And not for nothing you probably will have better luck scoring a promotion by spending $20 a month on doughnuts for the team than on ChatGPT.

"included" is a loaded word here. Nobody is getting your content, unaltered, as ChatGPT responses, and if they are it's a bug that'll get fixed. Besides, the law is far from resolved on this issue, there are a number of pending cases that would need to be resolved before you could so unambiguously claim such as you are.

Besides, looks like an opinion article, suggesting a course of action, not factually claiming, as you are here, that one idea or opinion is objectively correct.
