Not 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.

Integrations with services like wolfram alpha would be nice as well (although shouldn't be necessary to solve basic mult…

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.

Its job is to generate a convincing response. It doesn't "lie" and it doesn't "tell truth" either. It just does what it's asked to. It may use memorized facts if that makes it easier to generate a convincing response, but it's completely optional.

> Its job is to generate a convincing response. It doesn't "lie"

Generating a convincing response and telling lies, or not, are not related.

It actually lies to me about itself, on more than one occasion.

Try this:

Are you a computer?

No, I am not a computer.

What are you then?

I am a human.

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.

don’t… don’t let them know you are more productive, instead post more here

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…

Also note that this is GPT-3, not ChatGPT.

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

That code didn’t work for me mind giving a better example?

I get it now, my API key is for GPT-3($$) and it isn't free like ChatGPT for personal use.

~~~ 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'm struggling to see what made you think these answers came from other users. They're unrelated to your question, but they're still pretty clearly generated content. The blog post info-bullet style of talking is trademark AI.

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…

I even thought $20/month is such a cheap option. You articulated very well that $20 is indeed a lot despite something being useful everyday. It's time to revisit all my monthly $10 subscriptions and see how much they are actually delivering reasonable value.

This guy is a fool and doesn't have a good system for evaluating value.

If he wouldn't pay $20 a month to prevent tooth decay, he clearly is the type who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I find it fascinating the level of angst people have that open ai hasn’t let them generate racist, violent, or pornographic materials. I would build the guard rails too. I can’t stop you from doing what you want to do on your own dime, nor would I want to. But I don’t feel compelled to let people use tools I build for evil, in whatever way I construe evil.

I find it fascinating that so many people have such an interest in making a bot say something racist. this thing is a very powerful tool. and the best use they can come up with is "make it be racist"?

Being racist is pretty much the most controversial thing nowdays in the vague american-centric internet culture, so it's a good test of how far you can go with your prompts.
