#712will chatgpt have latest knowledge or is it going to be till 2021 only?
Re: ChatGPT Plus
#713I'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…
ChatGPT struggles with out-of-distribution problems. However, it excels at solving problems that have already been solved on the internet/GitHub. By connecting different contexts, ChatGPT can provide a ready solution in just a few seconds, saving you the time and effort of piecing together answers from various sources. But when you have a problem that can't be found on Google, even if it's a simple one-liner or one f…
This is the expected behavior. It's a language model trained to predict the next word (part of words actually) after all.
What is unexpected is the ability to perform highly in a multitude of tasks it was never trained for, like answering questions or writing code.
I suppose we can say we basically don't understand what the f* is going on with GPT-3 emergent abilities, but hey, if we can make it even better at those tasks like they did with chatGPT, sign me in.
Is not that the AI is too dumb, it's that my computer now can write me code I'd take one hour to Google and check and test. Now I ask, ask for corrections, test the answer and voila, my productivity just went through the roof.
So, my point is: don't believe (or be mad about) the hype from people that don't understand what curious marvel we got in front of us, just see how you can use it.

#714Cool, a new subscription plan for US only, while the free version is still not available anywhere is Asia.

Nice, I'm the developer of BetterTouchTool and I'll definitely use this one myself :-)
Another happy user here. BetterTouchTool [1] is a must-install on any new Mac for me. I have so many keyboard customizations that it's hard to live without. Thanks for such a great piece of software!

#717Earlier quoted context omitted.
You use it consistently during the workday and it's still not worth $20/mo?
I use my toothbrush every day but I wouldn't pay $20 per month for it. I use my keyboard everyday but I wouldn't pay $20 per month for it. In fact, I paid around $4 total for it, as paying more would bring significantly more diminishing returns. I use my phone every day and have used it for the past 5 years with no issue, it has brought me so much value and yet, if I draw the line, it didn't even reach $20 per month…
Devil's Advocate here...
Brushing your teeth takes time. If you could pay $20 p/m to get the same results from say a stick of gum (i.e., no time)...is that then worth it?
The KB "as is" makes sense. But that's a fairly generic item. Adding value / differentiation is minimal.
Phone? Maybe. Put what's your service p/m? Is one worth considering without the other?
What crazy value? At $1 per work day?? It doesn't have to be crazy. Just 5 minutes per day is breakeven (and that's generous). In many cases, ChatGPT is more helpful than the ever polluted Google SERPs. One buck a day to avoid that? With the weekends free? Perhaps not crazy value but worthy of reasonable consideration.

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 .............................
What do you mean about liberal bias.... Reality is by it's very nature unbiased. It just...is
It was a joke. I mean, it's a joke I personally happen to believe is true, but not something I will state as factual.
Somewhere on the political spectrum lies objective facts, truth, and logic. My priors tell me this side tends to be left-of-center. My priors also tell me that the majority of people's political beliefs are decided for them by their parents and their upbringing. So I'm happy to admit that plenty of liberals are in it for the wrong reasons. That doesn't detract from it being the side on the correct side of history.
But again, it was a joke.
Re: ChatGPT Plus
#719Not being able to do simple math is a surprisingly huge bug IMO
Me: 5000 * 5000 * 5000 ChatGPT: The result of 5000 x 5000 x 5000 is 125,000,000,000,000. Me: 5000 * 5000 ChatGPT: The result of 5000 x 5000 is 25,000,000. Me: 5000 * 25000000 ChatGPT: The result of 25,000,000 x 5000 is 125,000,000,000.
Integrations with services like wolfram alpha would be nice as well (although shouldn't be necessary to solve basic multiplication)

#720I pay for LinkedIn and Twitter yet I wouldn't for gpt as it's restricted.
