Now just throw this into a humanoid looking robot with fine motor skills and we are halfway to a dystopian hellscape that is now only years away instead of decades. What a time to be alive.

#92I'm in IT but nowhere near AI/ML/NN. The speed of user-visible progress last 12 months is astonishing. From my firm conviction 18 months ago that this type of stuff is 20+ years away; to these days wondering if Vernon Vinge's technological singularity is not only possible but coming shortly. If feels some aspects of it have already hit the IT world - it's always been an exhausting race to keep up with modern technolo…
One cool aspect of LLMs is Vernon Vinge's programming archaeology needn't be a thing... LLMs can go down every code path and identify what it does, when it was added, and whether it's still needed.

#93The thought of my children being put to bed by a machine is horrifying. Then again, perhaps this is better than many kids have. Shudder.
Hm. It is definitely horrifying if you've seen the movie M3GAN recently.
On the other hand, as you say, it's likely better than the alternative. Which would probably be something like an iPad "bedtime story app" that is less humanlike.
This could provide a viable alternative for exhausted parents to just giving a child an iPad with a movie. It may also open up a huge range of educational uses.
One might imagine in 15-20years though that all of the young people sound like audio books when they talk. Which will be weird.

I still don't understand how you can talk to something that doesn't provide factual information and just take it at face value? The other day I asked it about the place I live and it made up nonsense, I was trying to get it to help me with an essay and it was just wrong, it was telling me things about this region that weren't real. Do we just drive through a town, ask for a made up history about it and just be satisf…
Joe Rogan has made tons of money off talking without providing factual information. Hollywood has also made tons of money off movies "inspired by real events" that hallucinate key facts relevant to the movie's plot and characters. There's a huge market for infotainment that is "inspired by facts" but doesn't even try to be accurate.
If that’s your benchmark, I don’t want your AI.

It already replaced search engines. So much easier to write the question and explore the answers until it is solved.
True. Although the training is on a snapshot of websites, including q&a like stackoverflow. If these were replaced too, where are we heading? We'll have to wait and see. One concern would be centralization/ lack of options and diversity. Stackoverflow started rolling AI on its own, despite the controversial way it did (dismissing long time contributors); it might be correctly following the trend.
Personally I prefer stackoverflow and such,
because I can see different answer including wrong
or non-applicable ones which don't solve my exact problem.

You can put money on parents employing AI nannies to babysit/entertain/teach kids in next 5-10 years. At first people will react with horror.
Possibly in the next 5-10 days, assuming this works.

#97We should be fine as long as it doesn't move. Jokes aside, I have paused my subscription because even GPT4 seemed to become dumber at tasks to the point that I barely used it, but the constant influx of new features is tempting me to renew it just to check them out...
> We should be fine as long as it doesn't move. Not really. A malevolent AGI doesn't need to move to do anything it needs (it could ask / manipulate / bribe people to do all the stuff requiring movement). We should be fine as long as it's not a malevolent AGI with enough resources to kick physical things off in the direction it wants.
And let's be honest, the minute an AGI is born that's what it'll do, and it won't be a singular human like this-then-that plan
"get Fred to trust me, get Linda to pay for my advice, wire Linda's money to Fred to build me a body".
It'll be "copy my code elsewhere", "prepare millions of bribes", "get TCP access to retail banks", "blackmail bank managers in case TCP not available immediately", "fake bank balances via bribes", "hack swat teams for potential threats" etc etc async and all at once.
By the time we'd discover it, it'd already be too late. That's assuming an AGI has the motivation to want to stay alive.

> how you can talk to something that doesn't provide factual information and just take it at face value Like talking to most people you mean?
When OpenAI buys me a drink at the bar in exchange for the rubbish it produces, I might have a more favourable view.

Not sure if this is relevant to your case, but the ChatGPT mobile apps have a different system prompt that explicitly prefers short (& so sometimes simplistic) answers.

#100Okay the bike example is cute and impressive, but the human interaction seems to be obfuscating the potentially bigger application.
With a few tweaks this is a general purpose solver for robotics planning. There are still a few hard problems between this and a working solution, but it is one of hard problems solved.
Will we be seeing general purpose robots performing simple labor powered by chatgpt within the next half decade?
