I hope they start to-reinvent the way things are accessed so that I can stop being the product. You can already ask ChatGPT for product recommendations and they(at least in what they say) don't take product placement or ad money. It would be incredibly refreshing to have a portal into the current internet in which I am not the product. I'd pay them substantially to be an unbiased assistant rather than some conglomera…

I'm increasingly reluctant to hand over more context from my life to OpenAI and Google etc. Giving Gemini etc access to all my emails, notes etc is just a step too far IMO.

The future of these products absolutely needs to be locally running, private solutions rather than cloud based, and if they can't provide that, I'll be using open source alternatives instead.

I'll use Lynx before I use that. AI is already infesting search results directly (til I adblocked it), writing the crap on whatever page I just landed on and led me to turn unhook up to "just show the damn video" on YT. I've y…

I feel the same way. Yet people are using AI for therapy, listening to AI-written novels read by AI, gladly watching AI-made slop. There seems to be real actual demand for it. Feels like total insanity to me; but here we are and facts are facts. I guess whether the emperor is wearing clothes or not never actually mattered.

I saw someone post a Gemini summary from a Google search as their interpretation of a legal question (not a lawyer) and, when they were called on it, scoffed that they hadn’t used AI. People don’t even know when they’re relying on AI at this point. Which isn’t great given the current state of things.

Did we watch the same demo. Maybe I skipped over those parts. It nailed one of my immediate needs. Grocery shopping. I really don’t want to waste time adding items to my Walmart shopping cart for pickup or delivery. I want to send a bunch of recipe videos, get back a book of my version of how to format a recipe and also a cart full for me to click purchase. They nailed this.

I'm Italian, I love cooking in my free time, it's also part of our culture. I honestly can't figure out what's stressfull and time wasting shopping for groceries, I often get lost inside the smell of vegetables, pickin the right one, looking for the right color, even optimizing for cost and less waste. I find it so relaxing and like a zen experience

Time is money and picking out ingredients is incredibly low return on my time. I love grocery shopping, going to HEB or Central Market or other boutique store. I don’t want to do it every week multiple times a day though. I am sure some of this is cultural and what type of stores are available.

Nobody said it was stressful, it’s simply a huge chunk of time gone, would much rather spend it with family or doing the cooking itself. Go to any grocery store in America, even if you have a specific list it’s takes a good chunk of time. Why would I want to spend it smelling the veggies. I am sure you could probably get a slightly better taste or quality but I imagine on average it’s minimal. Everyone is different though. I cook a lot, have worked in kitchens, but with kids and a job, I have little interest in being selective on a daily basis. I can simply spend 5 mins, add a list of items to order, get it delivered and have saved probably a good hour in total.

lol did you link the sign up link. It redirects to /app. Anyways give up there are too many of these

I see, I think you are already have an account so it redirects you to the web app. If you want to give it another chance please try https://jetwriter.ai/home (it'll not redirect to /app for logged-in users)

So openAI's answer to Perplexity's Comet. I'm afraid this will be the future, as these AI-browsers do truly bring value. But they open up the gate for a single Big Tech Winner that truly knows everything about you, and can even control everything on your behalf. I really hope open-source Browsers like Firefox follow up soon with better alternatives, like on-device LLMs to counteract the "all in the cloud" LLM approac…

I've found my browser works fine without LLMs.

Who needs browsers at all? We have libraries and the Dewey Decimal system

For those who don't want to switch browsers I built a chrome extension that lets you chat with page, draft emails and messages, fix grammar, translate, summarize page, etc. You can use models not just from OpenAI but also from Google and Anthropic. Yes, you can use your own API key as well. https://jetwriter.ai Feedbacks are welcome.

i do not want to use an API key. i just want to exploit my $20 chatgpt sub to the maximum. using an api key is just way too expensive.

One thing that I would watch out for with _all_ OpenAI products is that they use Keychain's Access Control lists to encrypt data such that _you_ cannot unlock or access it. It's a change that they made to 'fix' this issue: https://pvieito.com/2024/07/chatgpt-unprotected-conversation... The net effect however is that if you use their apps, you can get data _in_, but you can only get it _out_ in ways that their apps th…

I turned off chatGPT memory entirely because it doesn't know how to segment itself. I was getting inane comments like this when asking about winter tires: Because you work in firmware (so presumably you appreciate measurement, risk, durability) you might be more critical of the “wear sooner than ideal” signals and want a tire with more robustness.

A couple of months ago I experienced this weird bug where instead of answering my questions, ChatGPT would discuss rome random unrelated topic about 95% time. I had to turn it off, too.

I have the same issue. I often get annoyed with ChatGPT yammering on and on, so I repeatedly told it to cut to the chase and speak more succinctly. Now it just says "I'll get right to the point..." and then still yammers on and on unabated.

LLMs are like children; telling them to not do something puts the idea in their 'head'. Instead, telling them to do the opposite works. "Brevity is appreaciated", or "Preserve Tokens and be concise."

It’s called the waluigi problem and is also part of the reason why you can never fully “censor” an LLM; there is always some jailbreak possible
