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 .......
Reality has an inherent liberal bias. In all honesty though, the dataset it was trained on may have a liberal bias. This is _precisely_ the sort of bias you should expect from a large language model .............................
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…
You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?

$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 agree with you. It’s going to get wild. It will improve very rapidly, from openAI and other. The competition will be incredible this year. I think we are headed for a complete replacement of human work very soon. Those who can use AI will become manager of an army of programers, writers, etc. We will be able to do much more, quicker too. Then we will have more robots to do physical things: self-driving, farming, co…
The way this is going, we'll automate all the fun stuff and continue to do our laundry and cooking manually for the foreseeable future.

~~~ To the ChatGPT Team ~~~ I'm currently receiving answers FROM OTHER USERS with this new version from 30 Jan, completely unrelated to my question: Q: Why is it easier for me to do endurance training on an empty stomach? A1: There are several things you can do to reduce the chance of getting a yeast infection: regenerate response: A2: There are many benefits to using cloud storage solutions such as Google Drive, Dro…
(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…

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…
You own that monitor. Would you pay $20/month to rent that monitor with the potential for price increases and ads popping up on it occasionally? There's something to "owning" a thing. You can resell it and rent it out, etc. It's an asset. SaaS is not an asset. It's a service.

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…
Sure, but with some things, the increase in productivity pays off the price easily - you end up earning more, or working way less. $20/mo for a subscription of NYT, or Netflix is not one of those things. But ChatGPT in many cases can save whole days of work over each month, so - especially when you're a freelancer, it will pay itself off.
Entertainment is an expense.
Sure, there's wiggle room in each but in a nutshell, that's the framework.

Indeed. People in developing countries might learn what the public school system should have taught them, with a free private tutor that is ChatGPT or similar.
ChatGPT can't even reliably tell how many times a letter is in a word. I doubt it will be a reliable tutor

$20/month is too much? When I filled in the "pro" survey, I said I'd pay $200/month. This thing is a cheap-as-hell technical writer, fact checker, information cruncher, and more. It's like an employee, but for $20/month.
I agree that it's very useful, but I'd be careful about "fact checker". GPT is perfectly happy to confirm falsehoods as facts and hallucinate convincing lies. A good fact checker verifies from multiple sources and uses critical thinking, neither of which ChatGPT can do.
It strikes le that most people don't see that as fundamentally problematic.
