Anyone else slowly realizing that GPT4 is nothing but a glorified google search? Everything it spits out has factual errors in it and dont get me started on code. It codes likes a third worlder.
Ive sobered up in recent weeks. Its shit.

Are you using the chat or the playground? On the playground you have to input your own system prompt which has quite a big effect on the quality of the responses. If you are using the chat then the system prompt is hidden probably just some generic dogshit along the lines of "you are a friendly, helpful assistant. dont say the moron word"
You have to be exact for it to spit correct code
Write a method that does x,y by doing z etc.
Basically treat it as an even higher level language.
It really helps when you are not very familiar in the language you are coding in.
I've had it produce useful scripts but first I typed the prompt in notepad by saying
1. do x
2. then do y.
3. then z
etc.
It just speeds up a lot the process since I would have to look up every step on stack overflow (cause I don't know the language) but it's like having your own personal stack overflow
It's just faster productivity, it doesn't perform miracles
A useful tool
How's that different from being more exact with your google searches?
because google search doesn't work anymore
Use yandex
It's better, more precise, more customizable
It's google (stack overflow) on steroids
If it connects with the internet, google will be obsolete
Seriously the minute they announce internet connectivity I'd short google
>Everything it spits out has factual errors in it and dont get me started on code. It codes likes a third worlder.
yup. about a month ago i caught it in a dead wrong error about stock manipulation. provided it with source. After apologizing it doubled down quibbling over semantics. The way it speaks, it was like getting into a argument with a first year young gay collage grad, pretentious ben shapiro type after you caught him cheating.
It is like getting into an argument WITH A FUCKING garden gnome.
I gradually came to hate them
>it doesn't remember yesterdays argument
imagine starting an argument with a fucking chatbot and blaming the chatbot
do you also start arguments with chairs and walls?
>It codes likes a third worlder.
well, we just deprecated the third world
if that doesn't impress you, nothing will.
>if that doesn't impress you, nothing will.
not him but, wrong.
Yeah, it's a nice glorified google search though.
I'd rather use it and troubleshoot incorrect outputs than deal with "Why would you want to do that? This (janky) solution (that doesn't solve your problem) is better" or find a post that has no answer to what I'm asking.
the best ones are some dickhead's 50 line javascript function using jquery to do something that can be done with a CSS property
no not at all. it's not perfect but it's far more advanced than that
>CIRCUS TRICKS!!! EVERYONE SEE THE NEWEST CIRCUS TRICKS FOR A DOLLAR!!!!
lol
who are you quoting bro
Using GPT-4 is like an IQ test.
If you're too dumb to use it to its best potential you're not gonna make it.
Simple as.
And IQ test you obviously failed
I'm sorry anon, you're getting left behind out of your own volition. It's not my fault you're a brainlet.
I think the biggest issue is that usage of chatgpt requires translating problems into language problems, which requires high verbal IQ, and you're clearly too retarded to even type words correctly.
In every technological "revolution" people who talk like you are the first to lose everything. Cant wait.
Give a single example of what the fuck you're talking about. People like you are the same as 'experts' in 1995 claiming they know for sure the consumer internet will be a flop.
You have to be a serious dumb fuck to not see the value in this technology. Literal animal IQ tier.
Anyone with half a brain can tell things like Crypto and Quantum computing are vaporware, but throwing these in together with those is a sign of brainletism.
>I'm sorry anon, you're getting left behind out of your own volition.
I disagree. If he can't even recognize the choice, he doesn't have the agency to make it. We should probably treat people like him with more empathy. Emphasis on the word probably, because I'm not completely sure.
elaborate
>elaborate
no, read.
>no, read.
i think you misspelled "I am a retard"
Do you feel better about being made obsolete by a "glorified google search" codemonkey?
I don't remember the last time I google searched a specific GUI layout and elements and google returned it for me but ok maybe I just don't know how to use it.
You've clearly never used it for fetish roleplay.
You are using it wrong. This is because you have adapted to years of treating computers like computers. You expect them to be rigid but perfect. What this is is intelligence on demand; to get it to actually be correct about shit you will need to hook it up to sources of knowledge, but what it's actually good at is stuff a human would usually do. Literally treat it as if it were an intern. GPT-4 is about as smart as an average person that's read every book ever written.
Jobs are not done by interns, coffee is served by interns.
I have yet to find any personal use for the technology. I program very simple games (Visual Novels) so I don't really need anything on the programming side, the work is just in creating the art and text. I experimented a bit with story generation, basically I pretended I hadn't finished a storyline and asked for various suggestions to see if ChatGPT could suggest something that would surprise me and be better than what I wrote, but all the suggestions were super simple and bland. Perhaps because of the nature of the tool, which tries to seem human in the way it communicates, the suggestions seemed to me like what average "normal" people would do. Maybe I don't know how to make the AI communicate properly, but for now I'd say it's not useful as a source of inspiration except for very basic things
GPT-4 is the single best machine translator in the world, and the only properly context aware one. It actually, properly, truly understands basically every language. If you can't see the value in this you're a moron.
It has value just not nearly as much as people think, especially the neutered version people have seen. As another anon pointed out, it tends to be very bland and uninteresting once you've exhausted the gimmicky low hanging fruit (do X in the style of Y). The situations where it appears to out-perform google on information-finding tends to be useless unless you can quickly find independent verification of what it tells you. Thats before you hit the obnoxious and constant censorship to fight.
I asked it to write a python script for faking a 3 finger swipe that would work with wayland, which seems fairly niche to me and I couldn't figure out where to start. It got about 90% of the way there, but the best part was when it gave me a command to use to listen for events from a device after I told it that the script didn't work. I then remembered weylus can do those inputs properly, so I used that command to figure out the correct event structure to send in order to make it work. I then plugged this in to a script I was messing around with for hand tracking. I think using it alongside google after it gives you a starting point is pretty good.
Stfu, you dork. How are people like you even real. You bore me to death.
If it even gets close to code monkey quality of code it will make alot of indians jobless
Yes but it's really really really good at being a Google search
Much better than Google by a factor of 50
That's why Google and bing are rolling out their AIs
If you couldn't devise a prompt smart enough to make it pay attention to you instead of feeding you filler replies it means you didn't pass
