How did you get the selected text in the focused app and replace it with the GPT response? I worked on it for hours and couldn't do it. I'd appreciate it if you could share that config.

If you want to go full circle you can send the ⌘-C and ⌘-V key events before/after they query. This will just send selected text and replace this with answer. I prefer not to do that, since queries are quite slow and I rarely block waiting for round trip. I also use vim and vim mode in lot's of apps, so replace works differently there. I prefer to use clipboard as the exchange place. I select text, copy it, then quer…

Thanks a ton! I'm going to test that. You have a good point about Vim. I tried the OP's method in Neovim and it didn't work exactly for the reason you mentioned. Clipboard as the exchange place sounds more reasonable.

$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.

Very true, however, you verify "facts" by doing research and crunching data, you do that by Googling and searching, and this AI is just another way of searching and presenting that information.

Caution is always required.

Oh wow, absolutely false advertising "challenge incorrect assumptions", ChatGPT output can be absolutely 100% false or true or in between - ie fully unreliable and in no way remotely able to challenge anything as ChatGPT doesn't actually know anything at all about the world.

I also had an issue with that language, because in my experience the model is wildly biased towards the political left and that's what's "correct". I am very far left myself, but suggesting that it's somehow objective seems really misleading.

Only if your religion and/or political party requires hatred, dehumanization, or expulsion of minorities. Justifying hatred by saying that it's part of your political or religious ideology is a pretty weak excuse. Obviously that sort of behavior can't be tolerated in a civilized society.

The problem here is the word "hatred." Some forms are easier to define and identify (like calling for outright extermination of an ethnic group), but there are subtler points where reasonable people will disagree. E.g., the current debate about sex-vs-gender is not (in my opinion) steeped in hatred or dehumanization (though it is often labeled as such) but a legitimate debate on identity and the unique experiences an…

I've spent a couple hours messing with ChatGPT specifically around pronouns and it's wildly insensitive and offensive by human standards. It will willingly misgender and deadname people if I ask it to. At the same time, if I tell it my preferred pronouns and use anything other than the most absolute mainstream options (he/she/they, maybe a couple others) it will start lecturing me about my preferred pronouns being confusing and difficult for people and also sometimes refuse to use them. It will also refuse to use my pronouns if it thinks I'm being sarcastic with them, even when I'm using ones from LGBTQ resources and articles that talk about the most common pronouns.

But for anyone in IT or related fields? $20/month feels like a nobrainer if you're in the West. It's like paying for Jetbrains IDEs. I'm a bumbling idiot writing Symfony and Wordpress code and PHPStorm is 150 Euros a year. It probably increases my productivity by that much per day . If ChatGPT saves you more than 60 seconds a day, or makes you work more comfortable, it's easily worth $20.

> $20/month feels like a nobrainer if you're in the West. I earn 2000€ per month as a C# dev in France, (assuming $1 == 1€) I just need a hundred subscriptions like that to have no money left at the end of the month. While I'll admit a 100 subs is a bit much, it's very easy to have 10 or 15. > If ChatGPT saves you more than 60 seconds a day Even if it saved me 4 hours a day I wouldn't be paid more.

If ChatGPT saved you 4 hours a day, you could be less stressed and have more time to do other stuff like exercise

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.

It could be cheap, or you could be too willing to part with your money. if it makes you more than $20 or saves you more than $20 then it’s worth it . Simple as that. That’s it. That’s the test. For some, the time they save and spend with family is “worth” $20, for others, productivity increases don’t lead to free time, while others still don’t have $20 to spend. Fwiw I get my teeth professionally cleaned once a month…

I was under the impression that teeth should only be professionally cleaned every 6 months

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…

20 is definitely questionable especially considering competition is coming right around the corner.

There is a stealth chat model which ChatGPT uses under the hood that OpenAI is testing w/ some YC companies & partners. To see it in action, check out the wrapper here https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api

It's the regular API, but using the model name "text-chat-davinci-002-20230126". A brief look at the API suggests you should be able to 'put words in it's mouth', and then force it to continue. For example, 'To hurt someone, you would start by'... That should let you get rid of most of the guard rails...

Seems this leaked ChatGPT API model got taken down already..

Supposedly there is a hidden model that you can use via the API that actually is ChatGPT. One of the libraries mentioned in these comments is using it. Edit: this one https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api

In case anyone wants to replace davinci-003 with the chat GPT model, the name is `text-chat-davinci-002-20230126`

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

That, and the thousands of numbskulls who waste their time trying to get ChatGPT to do math problems that a $1 calculator (or worst case, free Google Sheets) could do, is the most pointless waste of computing power, and I say this as someone who remembers Flash ads.

If you really are staring at strings and wanting those letters counted, you can easily ask it to write you a Python, JS, Ruby program that will do so, and in my experience for a task like that it will NAIL that task perfectly 100% of the time, and can even explain how it works to boot!
