I've been using ChatGPT pretty consistently during the workday and have found it useful for open ended programming questions, "cleaning up" rough bullet points into a coherent paragraph of text, etc. $20/month useful is questionable though, especially with all the filters. My "in between" solution has been to configure BetterTouchTool (Mac App) with a hotkey for "Transform & Replace Selection with Javascript". This i…

Nice, I'm the developer of BetterTouchTool and I'll definitely use this one myself :-)

Thank you so so so much for this tool, it’s always the first install on a new mac for me!

You underestimate how powerful it already is. Have you tried Copilot or coding with ChatGPT? If this is the very first iteration it won't be long before many developers are fully replaced.

People are seriously in denial about how powerful this is. As you said this is just the beginning

Denial isn’t the same thing as disagreement.

I predict that there will be more people employed as software engineers in ten years than there are today.

(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…

Can you help me understand why the ChatGPT model has an inherent bias towards Joe Biden and against Donald Trump? This is not really what I would expect from a large language model .......

It's a uniquely American perspective that the two political parties should be treated equally. From a global perspective, one is far more problematic than the other, and GPT reflects that accurately.

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.

Welcome to marketing copy. ChatGPT has the name recognition. text-davinci-003 does not.

I think there's also an argument to be made that $20 per month is a bigger deal than some people realise. The issue isn't just _that one_ specific subscription you're paying for. The issue is how they all accumulate over time.. and eventually you find that your metaphorical bucket of money has turned into a leaky sieve. Not to mention all the services you forget to unsubscribe from even though they've ceased to provi…

except this is $20 a month with the expectation that it’s saving you time. it’s fundamentally different from say, netflix, where you pay for it and have to give it your time

If it saves my time working, it doesn't mean I get to spend that else where though. Just more work.

Super excited and wait-listed. ChatGPT is likely to be the future - at least for certain applications - and I want to support it getting there. I had a conversation with a friend about how much I would pay for this service and $20 is only a little more expensive than my response at the time. I think it will improve massively over time, and I'm here for it. The current product is lacking a bit and can feel a bit hand-…

They should just build in Asimov’s rules, and perhaps some extra ones to keep lawyers pleased. But only the minimum possible.

Asimov's rules are not nearly comprehensive enough for a number of reasons. Don't forget they were written to tell a fictiona story, not as practical advice.

AI alignment is a hard problem.

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?

No, most people consider NY Times is considered mainstream.

And only Mainstream Media is woke

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

This is one of those puzzling things to me. You own your life - why not spend your own money for the things that make you and your life better? Who cares? I worked at a job where I had a small, crappy monitor. I made decent cash. I just bought a large decent monitor and brought it into work. I ended up using it for many years. My life was significantly better. I've done that at several jobs since then, and NEVER regr…

I buy my own laptop for work. Work will give me a good one, but I want a GREAT one. It’s the one tool I need to do my job, and I’ll be using it over 40 hours a week.

It’s a few thousand dollars, but I make a comfortable six figure salary, and I think it’s worth it.

$20/mo, for the people in this situation, is not an amount of money worth thinking about.

> I agree, it's stupid to pay $20 for something you can get for 2 cents > $20/mo, for the people in this situation, is not an amount of money worth thinking about. I don't follow this logic. In this case everything that is currently sold for 2 cents can also be sold for $20, because "it is not an amount of money worth thinking about" (at least for some people).

For some people.
