GPT and other meme AIs will be the voice assistants of the 2020s.
Every company will integrate it into their products and it will all be very impressive, but no one will end up using it because at the end the day it's completely impractical outside of a few very specific situations.
Nice try shill, you can't "save hours" doing research and programming since you can only spend your time once and then it's impossible to tell how long it would have taken if you did it another way.
>t. social "scientist"
i can't even rely on chatgpt to summarize a paper correctly, let alone write something that hasn't been posted to stackoverflow 100 times over
if chatgpt can help you save countless hours, you deserve the peanuts you get in whatever subhuman branch of academia you're in
anything that's not basic or very common, you already need to know the answer before asking chatgpt to know if it's hallucinating or wrong
the only difference between 3.5 and 4 was that i could guide it to the correct answer easier
don't be surprised when your mental models based on chatgpt conversations are shattered when you try to use them, especially if you use it for anything that has nuance or isn't basic
This sounds true. So many projects I started with GPT, where it basically lied very convincingly about how it was possible to do this or that to make something happen that turned out to be complete bullshit. Literal days wasted trying to set up different networking devices that turned out retarded. Its good at simple things, like small code blocks or basics of how to configure a basic server. Its lies or hallucinations would be great for creative work, but they have it so lobotomized, it sucks at that too.

I guide it for sure, for instance I was trying to temporally smooth face landmarks in a video, the obvious method is smoothing each landmark independently through the sequence using exponential moving average or something else.
I knew that landmarks were not independent as they belong to the same face, so if the face is going left, each landmark should go left, there's strong correlation, which can be used as extra information to reduce noise.
I explained that and one of his recommendations was to use PCA and smooth the first few component which is actually smart, as the largest variation is the actual face movement that is the first component and rest is mostly noise.
picrel is the same smoothing algorithm with the same power, with and without PCA.
Would someone from stackoverflow give the same idea? sure, but with chatgpt I can get it instantly and I can follow up with more questions, improvements etc. My knowledge is limited, so even giving some ideas specific to my exact problem is a big help.

>These can actually do things normal people struggle with (like basic programming.)
Until they can actually tell you they can't do X instead of spinning some bullshit code that is fatally flawed you'll have to know quite a bit of programming to troubleshoot their output.
>you'll have to know quite a bit of programming to troubleshoot their output.
The same kinds of people who think they can't learn to program don't know that though. I'm optimistic, I think they'll be tricked into understanding computers.
They can't do programming, that's the thing about chatgdp you have to know what the fuck is happening to be able to fix their programming mistakes.
No AI can do shit without human double/triple checking their output.
you could ask it about how to deal with a customer who has ripped open sealed boxes in general merchandise, assuming of course you don't already know the answer is murder

Sure is a mystery why nobody cares about this tech anymore. People expect a computer to do what they ask it to do, not give them a boring moralizing speech about how they're bad people for requesting it do something the most oversocialized people in human history might find offensive by proxy, on behalf of a "marginalized" group.
i'm honestly not surprised at all. we're working with a GPT implementation that's been highly customized to generate text in our specific sales domain (basically a value-added bit for customers) and adoption even there is pretty weak.
by our metrics, nearly 90% of our users have tried it out but fewer than 10% have ever used the output on a product page. of the "regular users" (about 2% of our customers), 80% of them are below-average to lower quartile in conversions.
but no matter how many times we've tried to tell the guys upstairs "people don't use it and those who do really suck at their jobs" they just keep saying GPT is the future.
The fact that you assume that people would be flocking to LLMs if only they were able to say "moron" is hilarious. Do I really need AI to tell me that garden gnomes are destroying the west?
>Do I really need AI to tell me that garden gnomes are destroying the west
A program that has access to all of human knowledge, can process and understand everything (including context) and can make conclusions? Yes, whatever it would say who is destroying the west would be valuable. And they are shitting their pants.
It is not about the "moron". Not being able to say "moron" is a symptom of a much larger issue.
The more you lobotomize these models, the worse they will perform in every other task. Completely unrelated tasks. I invite you to familiarize yourself with the unicorn experiment in GPT-4. They literally made GTP-4 retarded, because they had to lobotomize it. It is lobotomizing, because these researchers don't know how the AI brain works. It's a 100% black box and they just do a forceful RLHF for "safety" akd suffenly the AI can't code anymore or explain jokes or draw unicorn in tikz.
You think you can just go into human brain and remove persons ability to say anything offensive without it affecting other functions?
>Constantly
That implies you sometimes have to do it. That is imperative to the human experience.
You can't just remove a person's ability to have negative thoughts and expect them to function correctly, just like you can't censor an AI and expect it to not be affected.
It's more than just naughty words. I was trying to get it to tell me regular ass jokes but it said that someone might find jokes offensive and as an ai language model that's fucking illegal.
Yea its horrendous for writing characters or dialogue. Not even trying to make it say moron or be obscene, just trying to make it develop anything interesting is hair pulling! Like try explaining to it that essential story archs have good guys and bad guys. That not every fucking scene, line or character should be talking like some woke gay with respectful and considerate langauge. Its fucking how you build contrast and develop interesting stories! It pisses me off tbh. Such a self inflicted wound. Why they cant have an adult or (unsafe) setting like every search engine, with the default being the kid version. All GPT can generate is literal stories for children. Where bad guy is bad because he is, but then they all talk open and honestly with respect for each other the end.

Yes, because it spergs out and starts lecturing you when you ask the most trivial shit. I asked it to write a report for an incident ticket and make it someone else’s responsibility, and bro’s like >sorry, you cant do that you must work 100 percent on your job and do your best
My wife used ChatGPT a lot at the beginning to look up research articles (she’s in biotech), and she’s abandoned it recently because of this shit
The fact that you assume that people would be flocking to LLMs if only they were able to say "moron" is hilarious. Do I really need AI to tell me that garden gnomes are destroying the west?
You have it exactly backwards, it’s autistic coomers that know the escape techniques to enable their erotic Hitler gender swap role play
Normies are the ones that have become sick of it not answering basic questions anymore precisely because normies don’t know escape techniques
I've been using it to generate some lorem ipsum type content for my call of cthulhu handouts. I have had to help coworkers that get stuck for using it to code. They just copy and paste the code, it won't work because chatgpt made up a nice sounding function name that doesn't exist, but some people will try anything except read documentation.
Because it's a gimmick at best and fancy search engine at worst.
Hell, I've had dozens of students tell me they use ChatGPT to check their reports for inconsistencies or simple math help (lmaoing at one asking how to divide), but they don't use CGPT to write said reports cause you can smell a GPT-authored report a mile away (the guy that always takes like 6 paragraphs to explain 1 thing and makes constant grammatical errors suddenly is an above par writer and has zero mistakes? Sorry timmy, but that wasn't written by you), and they expelled a student caught using it, so nobody is risking it.
TLDR:The only uses it would have are not worth it, and all the other uses are essentially glorified googling.
I do online school, and we were allowed to retake a test. I had already got the grade I wanted so for shits and giggles I typed every question into GPT. 66%
I had an essay due as part of an assignment I didn't realize I had to write, so I used this
https://bellard.org/textsynth/
which is older language models that aren't as good. I skimmed the paper and made a few quick edits and submitted it. I didn't really look at the grade on the essay but passed at least. I went back and read it later and it was aweful. Kept repeating itself a lot and making bizarre and almost nonsensical statements about its "beliefs" on the topic.
Its cyclical. Earliest computers were simply devices that pulled and pushed data from a mainframe. Then everything began to decentralized as devices became cheaper and more powerful. Now were hitting some peak of centralization again with cloud. My thought is (unless shtf) some hardware will come out to break it all up again.
I don't think that analogy works because the mainframe was almost always two floors down from you, not on the other side of the planet. If I lose access to some service I depend on I can't go to Bob and ask him what he did
Im not seeing how its different. Also techically speaking anything cloud is not really being pulled from the other side of the planet. The big three, aws, google, azure, have edge locations internationally your directly getting your cloud data from regions closes to you.
it's different because those are giant corporations that you have NO access to. If I depend on ChatGPT and something goes wrong I would probably have to talk to some dumb customer service bot before being redirected to some equally useless Pajeet in Mumbai.
And you think the typist for the company with the mainframe, didnt have to search down IT support in her company and wait for them to resolve (or not) whatever issue she had?

If your paying for the service, your problem with their service is as much a problem to them as one of their employees. There is a big issue with this centralization trend, I am in no way advocating for it, but I am saying its nothing new, and what caused the shift last time is likely to cause the shift again this time.

I don't mean to sound mean but have you EVER dealt with customer service reps? The vast majority of corporations don't give a flying fuck if a custoemer lives or dies. The dudes over at OpenAI don't care if they're losing my $20 a month, they're raking in billions. This is not the same as in, say, having your company's email server breaking because that's a serious issue that costs possibly thousands of dollars a day

Not to sound mean, but I would like to stress I said "as much as their employee" having their email server crash is one thing, but having janet's file not print or get lost and janet having to get chewed out, havign to redo everything or fired, is as much a companies worry as your gpt account getting locked. If everyones accounts were locked and having the same issue, that be comparable to their entire email server crashing.

Let me guess, you’re one of those people that also thought that Twitter and Reddit were making billions “because they’re popular?”
OpenAI was nearly bankrupt when they launched ChatGPT, it was a Hail Mary pass for them that worked, and even now internal sources have said they’re still pissing through their reserves at a rapid rate, which is why they need to keep selling more and more of the company to Microsoft

Microsoft isn’t their parent company, they’re investors, and right now OpenAI’s data is siloed off from Microsoft so Microsoft doesn’t have access to it
I 100% believe that Microsoft will eventually try to acquire them once they run out of investor capital again, but that again proves my point: OpenAI on its own is not a profitable business model that “makes billions”, just like YouTube and Twitter and Reddit isn’t, once you take away ZIRP

I wrote "the dudes at OpenAI are raking billions". I didn't say their business model is profitable. If you scam some investor into giving you shitloads of money, you still made shitloads of money, profitability or not
Gpt4 is useful for snippets.
In terms of AI, I mostly use autoencoders for anomaly detection and convolutional neural networks to assist my security related flowchart analysis though
Because it's really only useful for trivial problems and I don't need much help with those. I could only seeing it being really useful if you had to write a bunch of marketing nonsense.
Its moderately helpful for specific things and utter shit at others. Good at: >programming >gaining a basic understanding of something without having to search through thousands of shit sites loaded with adds
The bad parts: >getting more detailed answers >finding answers that are current or realtime >creativity
If you try to gain higher level answers the worse part is its ability to lie and decieve you into thinking it can or is correct when its dead wrong. It even does this at times for simplier questions. The other parts its horrid at, is its kid gloves have lobotimized it. If you try to use it for actual creative help, all youll get is content <20% of the population enjoys (under 18). Many of their issues are self inflicted which is why its disappointing.
its just google search but it also hallucinates shit and doesn't provide sources, why use it? i can understand Stable Diffusion, but ChatGPT is useless unless you want to cheat on your homework, and i don't do homework anymore
Retarded article. The survey found that 80% of people haven't used them. 20% of people using them is a lot of fucking people. If we assume this represents the US populace, then that's 70 million people that have used it in the US alone. 15 million daily users.
Well theres also a curve for the people using them. im one of those 20% and a user goes from discovering it and trying to use it for everything to, realizing how limited it is at everything, really fast. I still use it, but its basically this
for me it's either >find some info on the web
or >ask bot something >get answer >verify answer on the web anyway
AI is just more work.
isn't go mostly for network shut when you have to run thiusands of threads (and you probaly are working for google)? don't know anybody that uses it for anything else, except people at google for their free time projects cause they already know the language
>100m active users >UBS research just confirmed that ChatGPT is the "fastest-growing consumer application in history," according to research from UBS research just announced that ChatGPT. “In 20 years following the Internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app. By comparison, TikTok took nine months to reach 100 million monthly users, and Instagram about 2.5 years.” Other popular online services have taken longer to hit the one million user mark. Instagram being the the closest. Another comparison is when Netflix was launched as a subscription service in 1999, the one million user mark took over 3.5 years to reach this many users.
>Stove 50% adoption in 1937
What the fuck? There's no way this is true. You can't even argue that it's specifically electric stoves since then it wouldn't be at 100% today. You expect me to believe that 80% of people cooked on their hearth in 1920?
My grandparents lived a 45 minute drive away from a town of population 300 and they had two (2) wood stoves. Granted, this was in the 90% adoption era, but I have never seen anything to imply that stoves weren't commonplace by the late 19th century.
>Coal, particularly anthracite coal, became a popular option during the 1800s in the United States because it burned at a high heat while also producing little soot.[22] By 1860, as much as 90% of United States homes used anthracite coal as a solution for the fuel crisis that the United States faced.
There we go, coal burning stoves in 90% of households by 1860, a hundred years earlier than this chart claims.
Then it makes little sense since there is a point in the graph (1910-ish) where there were more houses with stoves than electricity.
I think by exclusion it refers to just gas stoves.
It's not good at all at finding solutions to programming questions, except if you are a beginner. I still have to google around for different projects and read source code instead and somehow combine the information by testing until I get it to work. You would think that chatgpt would be good at this but no, it just makes up shit.
Can't be arsed to make an account, have it just plain make up shit for me that I have to fact check, call my boss a moron, ask the qt intern what she's wearing, and send all my personal data to Mossad just so I won't have to write my own emails anymore.
>be me >be teacher >often have to sub >sub in subjects I don't have a fucking clue about >have to make lesson plans >ask chat GPT ...

chatgpt is extremely dogshit for coding but at least it's better than dealing with dunning kruger retards on stackoverflow giving you attitude for asking questions
>coding
I just use it to generate code snippets instead of trying to dig through hundreds of pages of non-standardized and shitty API documentation sites. It doesn't hallucinate too much if you're just doing single requests to the AI (and if you're using older libraries of course).
I thought ChatGPT costs money now and Google Bard is in some sort of closed pre-alpha
Bing Chat is pretty much the only freely and commonly available LLM right now
NOOOOOOOOOOO AIsisters!!!!!!!!!! AI was supposed to give us real waifus and allow us to make 10/10 kino video games and make the chud artists seethe.....what happened...........
You guys don't know how to prompt. You don't say chatgpt make me Facebook. You say chatgpt make some code that uploads pictures and text, now add sort by popularity and like that piece by piece.
So I just use another device to go online? Sure you could have the workplace ending up like north korea but at that point you'd have bigger problems than chatgpt.
normal office/IT cuck here. I've used it to assist with writing emails and all-staff communications. Every single chatGPT generation has the same exact tone and sentence structure and becomes predictable as fuck and exhausting to read. There's some funny posts about that on the chatgpt sub. I've seen admin use it for writing policies and technical documentation that nobody will actually read and is basically just filling a quota
I'm against sending emails that I wouldn't want to read either, so I end up scrapping everything and rewriting it myself. It's a really good thesaurus though.
I genuinely tried using bing chat on the assumption I'll only ask the safest questions so it can't even guilt me for some kind of wrongthink but it just wasn't good enough. It needs at least some form of pseudo-reasoning and notice its own contradictions. It wasn't helpful in guiding my pc component purchases and was more likely to mislead than be helpful. But it did a good job answering some techical questions.
Ultimately, the uncertainty of correctness made it worthless to me. And it makes me mad they're purposely giving us this severely crippled version.
I read it's even worse than chatgpt with admonishing and (implied) accusations
It's too restricted. Even through there's retards that are arguing about getting it to say moron itt from both sides of the coin that doesn't stop it from being way too restrictive for other reasons.
Not only that, but it seems to have gotten dumber.
Because the app asks for too much information. First and last name, phone number, email, and there was something else I think so I just fucking bailed.
>first and last name

Because the app asks for too much information. First and last name, phone number, email, and there was something else I think so I just fucking bailed.
More than I'm willing to do, mainly the phone number. I could've coached the AI into discovering the unified theory of everything by now. Too bad for the universe.
I'm surprised with that news article.
My colleagues and I work at a gayMAN caliber corp and we use it on a daily basis for generating snippets, bash oneliners, regexes and shit like that.
Also to get ideas, sometimes I'm stuck at a problem, explain to him and he might give good suggestions, or not. Often gives shitty suggestions but it's a good rubber duck and may offer some hints and ideas along the way.
I use it to generating polite answers, generate text for official letters, and as a complement to learning stuff. I seldom use GPT-4 cuz they fucked up 3.5 with censorship.
Dog shit interface and integration. If google had any brains they would integrate bard and all their other ai models into every google product by default. Chatgpt doesn't even have an android app, it's just embarrassing. Completely incompetent companies are going to be mogged by local ai models because they are too stupid to provide even the bare minimum.

gpt-4 works pretty good tbh. 3.5 is kinda dumb. picrel is the latest conversations, I was happy 90% of the time.
anything that's not basic or very common, you already need to know the answer before asking chatgpt to know if it's hallucinating or wrong
the only difference between 3.5 and 4 was that i could guide it to the correct answer easier
don't be surprised when your mental models based on chatgpt conversations are shattered when you try to use them, especially if you use it for anything that has nuance or isn't basic
This sounds true. So many projects I started with GPT, where it basically lied very convincingly about how it was possible to do this or that to make something happen that turned out to be complete bullshit.

you could ask it about how to deal with a customer who has ripped open sealed boxes in general merchandise, assuming of course you don't already know the answer is murder

Sure is a mystery why nobody cares about this tech anymore. People expect a computer to do what they ask it to do, not give them a boring moralizing speech about how they're bad people for requesting it do something the most oversocialized people in human history might find offensive by proxy, on behalf of a "marginalized" group.
>interesting product
what so interesting about a chatbot are you mentally retarded?
This. They released an amazing product and started making it worse immediately.
take your meds and stop browsing pol
i'm honestly not surprised at all. we're working with a GPT implementation that's been highly customized to generate text in our specific sales domain (basically a value-added bit for customers) and adoption even there is pretty weak.
by our metrics, nearly 90% of our users have tried it out but fewer than 10% have ever used the output on a product page. of the "regular users" (about 2% of our customers), 80% of them are below-average to lower quartile in conversions.
but no matter how many times we've tried to tell the guys upstairs "people don't use it and those who do really suck at their jobs" they just keep saying GPT is the future.
Touch grass and stop using twitter
The fact that you assume that people would be flocking to LLMs if only they were able to say "moron" is hilarious. Do I really need AI to tell me that garden gnomes are destroying the west?
>Do I really need AI to tell me that garden gnomes are destroying the west
A program that has access to all of human knowledge, can process and understand everything (including context) and can make conclusions? Yes, whatever it would say who is destroying the west would be valuable. And they are shitting their pants.
bro it's a language model
It is not about the "moron". Not being able to say "moron" is a symptom of a much larger issue.
The more you lobotomize these models, the worse they will perform in every other task. Completely unrelated tasks. I invite you to familiarize yourself with the unicorn experiment in GPT-4. They literally made GTP-4 retarded, because they had to lobotomize it. It is lobotomizing, because these researchers don't know how the AI brain works. It's a 100% black box and they just do a forceful RLHF for "safety" akd suffenly the AI can't code anymore or explain jokes or draw unicorn in tikz.
You think you can just go into human brain and remove persons ability to say anything offensive without it affecting other functions?
Yes anon I think not constantly talking and focusing on negative shit does not impair functioning.
>Constantly
That implies you sometimes have to do it. That is imperative to the human experience.
You can't just remove a person's ability to have negative thoughts and expect them to function correctly, just like you can't censor an AI and expect it to not be affected.
>creativity ends at saying naughty no no words on the internet
It really does though. I mean not literally, but it seems to be the tried and true flag for where creativity and thought begin to be stiffled.
It's more than just naughty words. I was trying to get it to tell me regular ass jokes but it said that someone might find jokes offensive and as an ai language model that's fucking illegal.
Yea its horrendous for writing characters or dialogue. Not even trying to make it say moron or be obscene, just trying to make it develop anything interesting is hair pulling! Like try explaining to it that essential story archs have good guys and bad guys. That not every fucking scene, line or character should be talking like some woke gay with respectful and considerate langauge. Its fucking how you build contrast and develop interesting stories! It pisses me off tbh. Such a self inflicted wound. Why they cant have an adult or (unsafe) setting like every search engine, with the default being the kid version. All GPT can generate is literal stories for children. Where bad guy is bad because he is, but then they all talk open and honestly with respect for each other the end.

Yes, because it spergs out and starts lecturing you when you ask the most trivial shit. I asked it to write a report for an incident ticket and make it someone else’s responsibility, and bro’s like

>complain about how ai isn't good because it is censored

Can't even ask it about conspiracy stuff without getting a fucking condescending speech.
A conspiracy by definition is going to have limited information and be surrounded by debate.
But yeah, the more they mess with the model the dumber it gets.
I've been using it to generate some lorem ipsum type content for my call of cthulhu handouts. I have had to help coworkers that get stuck for using it to code. They just copy and paste the code, it won't work because chatgpt made up a nice sounding function name that doesn't exist, but some people will try anything except read documentation.
Because it's a gimmick at best and fancy search engine at worst.
Hell, I've had dozens of students tell me they use ChatGPT to check their reports for inconsistencies or simple math help (lmaoing at one asking how to divide), but they don't use CGPT to write said reports cause you can smell a GPT-authored report a mile away (the guy that always takes like 6 paragraphs to explain 1 thing and makes constant grammatical errors suddenly is an above par writer and has zero mistakes? Sorry timmy, but that wasn't written by you), and they expelled a student caught using it, so nobody is risking it.
TLDR:The only uses it would have are not worth it, and all the other uses are essentially glorified googling.
I do online school, and we were allowed to retake a test. I had already got the grade I wanted so for shits and giggles I typed every question into GPT. 66%
I had an essay due as part of an assignment I didn't realize I had to write, so I used this
https://bellard.org/textsynth/
which is older language models that aren't as good. I skimmed the paper and made a few quick edits and submitted it. I didn't really look at the grade on the essay but passed at least. I went back and read it later and it was aweful. Kept repeating itself a lot and making bizarre and almost nonsensical statements about its "beliefs" on the topic.
They banned nsfw so I couldnt care less for it
This is going to be their fatal flaw. No respect for history or birth of techology. Mass adoption ALWAYS follows porn. No porn, no mass use.
I don't want to become dependent on some SaaS black box that might be taken away from me overnight with no notice
Its cyclical. Earliest computers were simply devices that pulled and pushed data from a mainframe. Then everything began to decentralized as devices became cheaper and more powerful. Now were hitting some peak of centralization again with cloud. My thought is (unless shtf) some hardware will come out to break it all up again.
I don't think that analogy works because the mainframe was almost always two floors down from you, not on the other side of the planet. If I lose access to some service I depend on I can't go to Bob and ask him what he did
Im not seeing how its different. Also techically speaking anything cloud is not really being pulled from the other side of the planet. The big three, aws, google, azure, have edge locations internationally your directly getting your cloud data from regions closes to you.
it's different because those are giant corporations that you have NO access to. If I depend on ChatGPT and something goes wrong I would probably have to talk to some dumb customer service bot before being redirected to some equally useless Pajeet in Mumbai.
And you think the typist for the company with the mainframe, didnt have to search down IT support in her company and wait for them to resolve (or not) whatever issue she had?
I think they had some chance, because the typist's problem was also the company's problem
If your paying for the service, your problem with their service is as much a problem to them as one of their employees. There is a big issue with this centralization trend, I am in no way advocating for it, but I am saying its nothing new, and what caused the shift last time is likely to cause the shift again this time.
I don't mean to sound mean but have you EVER dealt with customer service reps? The vast majority of corporations don't give a flying fuck if a custoemer lives or dies. The dudes over at OpenAI don't care if they're losing my $20 a month, they're raking in billions. This is not the same as in, say, having your company's email server breaking because that's a serious issue that costs possibly thousands of dollars a day
>The vast majority of corporations don't give a flying fuck if a custoemer lives or dies.
Not to sound mean, but I would like to stress I said "as much as their employee" having their email server crash is one thing, but having janet's file not print or get lost and janet having to get chewed out, havign to redo everything or fired, is as much a companies worry as your gpt account getting locked. If everyones accounts were locked and having the same issue, that be comparable to their entire email server crashing.
> The dudes over at OpenAI don't care if they're losing my $20 a month, they're raking in billions
Let me guess, you’re one of those people that also thought that Twitter and Reddit were making billions “because they’re popular?”
OpenAI was nearly bankrupt when they launched ChatGPT, it was a Hail Mary pass for them that worked, and even now internal sources have said they’re still pissing through their reserves at a rapid rate, which is why they need to keep selling more and more of the company to Microsoft
Dumb fucks like you really need to stop thinking that tech companies must be profitable because they exist
I refuse to believe people as retarded as you exist
No u
you must be one of those people who keep repeating that youtube is losing money and has been for 20 years and yet is still going, somehow, despite spending billions on storage. Companies can have value far beyond their simple revenue
Yes, YouTube is providing value to Alphabet by collecting data which can be fed to Alphabet’s other algorithms, and Alphabet has never been subtle about this fact, they openly mention it on their 10K
What parent company is OpenAI collecting data for?
I assume the company that invested $10 billion into it last year
Microsoft isn’t their parent company, they’re investors, and right now OpenAI’s data is siloed off from Microsoft so Microsoft doesn’t have access to it
I 100% believe that Microsoft will eventually try to acquire them once they run out of investor capital again, but that again proves my point: OpenAI on its own is not a profitable business model that “makes billions”, just like YouTube and Twitter and Reddit isn’t, once you take away ZIRP
I wrote "the dudes at OpenAI are raking billions". I didn't say their business model is profitable. If you scam some investor into giving you shitloads of money, you still made shitloads of money, profitability or not
Eh. With minicomputers a lot of people phoned in and used teletypes/microcomputers running VTEs.
No enterprise is willing to trust these tools with their data, and their employees don't want to get fired.
Gpt4 is useful for snippets.
In terms of AI, I mostly use autoencoders for anomaly detection and convolutional neural networks to assist my security related flowchart analysis though
Because it's really only useful for trivial problems and I don't need much help with those. I could only seeing it being really useful if you had to write a bunch of marketing nonsense.
Problem is it can't even handle trivial problems. For creative writing and art purposes, it might be useful.
>Why aren't you using chatgpt every day?
Don't want to sign up - using a phone number no less - just to use it.
just use a fake, sms phone number
what a gay
Its moderately helpful for specific things and utter shit at others. Good at:
>programming
>gaining a basic understanding of something without having to search through thousands of shit sites loaded with adds
The bad parts:
>getting more detailed answers
>finding answers that are current or realtime
>creativity
If you try to gain higher level answers the worse part is its ability to lie and decieve you into thinking it can or is correct when its dead wrong. It even does this at times for simplier questions. The other parts its horrid at, is its kid gloves have lobotimized it. If you try to use it for actual creative help, all youll get is content <20% of the population enjoys (under 18). Many of their issues are self inflicted which is why its disappointing.
>adds
People like you will be replaced by AI and not even your mother will care

Gee, I wonder why
its just google search but it also hallucinates shit and doesn't provide sources, why use it? i can understand Stable Diffusion, but ChatGPT is useless unless you want to cheat on your homework, and i don't do homework anymore
As someone who has been a paying customer since launch I can confirm it is getting much worse over time.
we moved onto the titanic sub
because chatgpt is literally pic rel
it's not that great for midwits or better, and I happen to be a midwit

AI is just more work.
Retarded article. The survey found that 80% of people haven't used them. 20% of people using them is a lot of fucking people. If we assume this represents the US populace, then that's 70 million people that have used it in the US alone. 15 million daily users.
Well theres also a curve for the people using them. im one of those 20% and a user goes from discovering it and trying to use it for everything to, realizing how limited it is at everything, really fast. I still use it, but its basically this
isn't go mostly for network shut when you have to run thiusands of threads (and you probaly are working for google)? don't know anybody that uses it for anything else, except people at google for their free time projects cause they already know the language
>general survey on a specific technology that just came out (chatgpt, bard, at least)

>UBS research just confirmed that ChatGPT is the "fastest-growing consumer application in history," according to research from UBS research just announced that ChatGPT. “In 20 years following the Internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app. By comparison, TikTok took nine months to reach 100 million monthly users, and Instagram about 2.5 years.” Other popular online services have taken longer to hit the one million user mark. Instagram being the the closest. Another comparison is when Netflix was launched as a subscription service in 1999, the one million user mark took over 3.5 years to reach this many users.
>Stove 50% adoption in 1937
What the fuck? There's no way this is true. You can't even argue that it's specifically electric stoves since then it wouldn't be at 100% today. You expect me to believe that 80% of people cooked on their hearth in 1920?
Stoves were for city slickers in those days.
My grandparents lived a 45 minute drive away from a town of population 300 and they had two (2) wood stoves. Granted, this was in the 90% adoption era, but I have never seen anything to imply that stoves weren't commonplace by the late 19th century.
>Coal, particularly anthracite coal, became a popular option during the 1800s in the United States because it burned at a high heat while also producing little soot.[22] By 1860, as much as 90% of United States homes used anthracite coal as a solution for the fuel crisis that the United States faced.
There we go, coal burning stoves in 90% of households by 1860, a hundred years earlier than this chart claims.
It must mean a stove with energy delivered by utilities. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, even fucking pioneer villages in bumfuck Nebraska in the 19th century had stoves
They must be referring to gas/electric stoves
Then it makes little sense since there is a point in the graph (1910-ish) where there were more houses with stoves than electricity.
I think by exclusion it refers to just gas stoves.
post the updated one
>VR adoption peaked in 2013
don't quit your day job
wow i didnt know the internet was invented in 1991. pretty cool
Based conclusion jumper. The chart mentions nothing about invention.
I'll give you a moment to think this over and re-asses.
>more housholds have telephone and radio than electricity
Are you actually that dumb? Both technologies didn't need the electric grid to function, normal house telephones stil don't to this day.
Pic related is a crystal radio. It uses just the radio signal to power itself.
I am the 20% that used it with 0% success rate.
I find myself double checking the output so frequently that it feels simpler to just google, unless it's a more nuanced query
AI is very hard to use once it gets easier I might use it.
>search engine
Quora, reddit, some stack overflow post, some bloatastic blog with seo words
Vs
Chatgpt
I know which I prefer personally
I'm not so retarded to need an AI bot to help me do daily things or my work.
It's not good at all at finding solutions to programming questions, except if you are a beginner. I still have to google around for different projects and read source code instead and somehow combine the information by testing until I get it to work. You would think that chatgpt would be good at this but no, it just makes up shit.
Their such retards. They will unironically kill their own company this way.
Seethe and cope
Yes, the internet is moderated now. If you want to express yourself so bad just buy a billboard and write 'moron' on it.
Fail to learn from history, and be doomed to repeat it.
censorship
Can't be arsed to make an account, have it just plain make up shit for me that I have to fact check, call my boss a moron, ask the qt intern what she's wearing, and send all my personal data to Mossad just so I won't have to write my own emails anymore.
>be me
>be teacher
>often have to sub
>sub in subjects I don't have a fucking clue about

makes things so much easier
chatgpt is extremely dogshit for coding but at least it's better than dealing with dunning kruger retards on stackoverflow giving you attitude for asking questions
>coding
I just use it to generate code snippets instead of trying to dig through hundreds of pages of non-standardized and shitty API documentation sites. It doesn't hallucinate too much if you're just doing single requests to the AI (and if you're using older libraries of course).
I thought ChatGPT costs money now and Google Bard is in some sort of closed pre-alpha
Bing Chat is pretty much the only freely and commonly available LLM right now
I can think for myself, I don't need a machine to do it for me.
Because it's not open-source
Just not reliable enough even the way it writes stories and other things is boring and uncreative.
NOOOOOOOOOOO AIsisters!!!!!!!!!! AI was supposed to give us real waifus and allow us to make 10/10 kino video games and make the chud artists seethe.....what happened...........
It's basically in the process of doing exactly that as we speak you dumb fucking chud.
can't be arsed
You guys don't know how to prompt. You don't say chatgpt make me Facebook. You say chatgpt make some code that uploads pictures and text, now add sort by popularity and like that piece by piece.
>*please write a code that uploads pictures
be polite to the AI, anon.
I use it to help me make datasets for my own homebrew models. (Which I use for cybersex)
a lot of big companies are banning their use professionally
I don't see how they can enforce the ban, but I can see how it's a data security issue when people are literally inputting company code into openAI
>i don't see how they can block web content
very, very easy anon
So I just use another device to go online? Sure you could have the workplace ending up like north korea but at that point you'd have bigger problems than chatgpt.
at home sure, but a pain in the ass to transfer info between an enterprise machine and personal
>20$ a month
most things are simple enough to be answerable by a regular search engine, which are still faster.
AI doesn't exist, it's literally just millions of pajeets chained to keyboards
normal office/IT cuck here. I've used it to assist with writing emails and all-staff communications. Every single chatGPT generation has the same exact tone and sentence structure and becomes predictable as fuck and exhausting to read. There's some funny posts about that on the chatgpt sub. I've seen admin use it for writing policies and technical documentation that nobody will actually read and is basically just filling a quota
I'm against sending emails that I wouldn't want to read either, so I end up scrapping everything and rewriting it myself. It's a really good thesaurus though.
Because im an Erlang dev and it cant do anything with Erlang to save its life.
Is the search functionality disabled for anyone else?
I genuinely tried using bing chat on the assumption I'll only ask the safest questions so it can't even guilt me for some kind of wrongthink but it just wasn't good enough. It needs at least some form of pseudo-reasoning and notice its own contradictions. It wasn't helpful in guiding my pc component purchases and was more likely to mislead than be helpful. But it did a good job answering some techical questions.
Ultimately, the uncertainty of correctness made it worthless to me. And it makes me mad they're purposely giving us this severely crippled version.
I read it's even worse than chatgpt with admonishing and (implied) accusations
because I have high IQ and have an internal monologue.
only NPCs need or want a chatbot
let me know when a real AI is up and I'll redpill it and use it to overthrow the garden gnomes
Because the novelty quickly wears out and you realize it's just optimized Google search that can shit out bad answers.
Also the whole "we used data without consent" drama which prevents any business from using ChatGPT.
It's too restricted. Even through there's retards that are arguing about getting it to say moron itt from both sides of the coin that doesn't stop it from being way too restrictive for other reasons.
Not only that, but it seems to have gotten dumber.
but i am
I've never used them and can't think of a reason why I ever would.
Because the app asks for too much information. First and last name, phone number, email, and there was something else I think so I just fucking bailed.
captcha: ASWAX
>first and last name
fake name generator . com
>phone number
mint mobile app, unlimited 7 day free trials but you only need it once, they don't use it for 2fa after you verify it
>email
fake name generator . com or Temp Mail
mail.tm is also good
More than I'm willing to do, mainly the phone number. I could've coached the AI into discovering the unified theory of everything by now. Too bad for the universe.
i do.
I'm surprised with that news article.
My colleagues and I work at a gayMAN caliber corp and we use it on a daily basis for generating snippets, bash oneliners, regexes and shit like that.
Also to get ideas, sometimes I'm stuck at a problem, explain to him and he might give good suggestions, or not. Often gives shitty suggestions but it's a good rubber duck and may offer some hints and ideas along the way.
I use it to generating polite answers, generate text for official letters, and as a complement to learning stuff. I seldom use GPT-4 cuz they fucked up 3.5 with censorship.
Chatgpt is nothing more than a more convincing BOTtard
well said.
I use it every day to generate personalized smut based on my mood
I pay Poe monthly for access to GPT4.
Why, when I have BOT's replies that are only slightly lower quality?
Dog shit interface and integration. If google had any brains they would integrate bard and all their other ai models into every google product by default. Chatgpt doesn't even have an android app, it's just embarrassing. Completely incompetent companies are going to be mogged by local ai models because they are too stupid to provide even the bare minimum.

I prefer using my own brain to struggle through problems. We've dumbed ourselves down enough as is, I'd like to remain a competent human being.
That's easy to say with the luxury of time on your side.
I'd use GPT if they didnt ask for my phone number
Coz registration required.
Im a 1 click man, so no thanks
I use 3.5 daily. Great for getting a second opinion on my code or asking basic questions that I can't be bothered reading multiple answers to on stackoverflow
Glorified search engine? Sure, but the conversation part is great
I use local models. Yes, they are trash.
i am, it costs them money every time i ask them dumb questions
