I already saw ml (dall e 2 and chatgpt and gpt3) as impressive.

But I actually played around with chatgpt just today and holy shit.

I never ever talked to a bot like I talked to chatgpt.

Is it perfect? Not at all but I already was able to use it for practical things.

It feels tremendously natural.

This is so close to everything I'm looking for in an AI that it shows all the potential already without much fantasy.

This will not go away.

It will transform every aspect.

I wish I would be in university right now. This thing can explain things.

This thing understands context.

And it's multilingual out of the box.

The coherence chatgpt already shows let me believe that it does create an internal model which is more than just doing basic statistics.

Alexa was great to experience because it showed me already how a voice interface feels like.

But Alexa and chatgpt?

Chatgpt trained on documentation!

Chatgpt / ml like this will be the universal knowledge library the Rosetta stone.

We are experiencing the creation of the Alexandria library.

Let's see how long it will take to combine dall e/Stabel Diffusion, got, chatgpt together with other things like voice synthesis and voice recognition.

It can explain things, but it gets a ton of things wrong, very wrong.

Using this is college would be a recipe for disaster, you'd ask chatgpt to explain a thing to you and you, being a student, don't know if it's getting the explanation correct or wrong. You don't know if it's reasoning is correct.

ChatGPT isn't telling you the truth or how the world is, it's just spitting out the statistically more likely next word.

It's far enough on this side of the uncanny valley so you think it's a conscious human unless you know enough about the subject to realize that it's not.

It's a text prediction engine, and clearly people are impressed. I suggest saving your statements here, like "This will not go away. It will transform every aspect. This thing understands context." and so on, and revisit them in a few years when the hype balloon has been punctured.

Perhaps "will not go away" will still seem plausible, but I think the rest will age poorly.

I asked chatgpt just an hour ago to tell me how to put a doc at the first position of the navigation with docusaurus (Facebook static page generator).

It told me the sidebar.js way.

I asked it to tell me another option which I can configure in the doc file directly.

Chatgpt got all of that right. If this is just a text prediction engine, it's crazy impressive how well it just works.

I don't even start designing the prompt to get what I need.

I definitely will follow all of this very closely and already have plenty of use cases for this 'text prediction engine '.

I'm hyped because I'm waiting for ml to break through for a while. Google for example has a huge us hospital under it's cloud platform with tons and tons of data.

We will see more and more expert systems.

Chatgpt will push for more investments.

This is not just a hype it's part of the journey we are for a few years now.

And in comparison to shit like crypto or nft there are already clear benefits.

Stabel Diffusion is fun to use and to explore.

Chatgpt is fun to use and to explore.

Not that this is any indication but the interest in SD was huge but the interest in chatgpt is much bigger. We had multiple internal talks about it and due to the interest in it, more got scheduled.

You will no longer search through documentation. You will just ask the product documentation what you need.

All of those real life use cases pushes more and more money into this topic
