Ask HN: What changes would you like to see in ChatGPT?

A way to automate prompting would be nice.

For example, if I could parameterize input by initializing a prompt like:

"Ask me questions and check in to see how much progress I'm making on this content ${screenshot_of_my_desktop}"

And then have some type of callback I setup that will allow me to send data every x-minutes. I could then automate the generation of a screenshot to send over to chatGPT and then maybe fiddle with some stuff to make it notify me on my desktop.

If the use case isn't clear: I want a personal coach to help me stay focused or to help me make progress on tasks while I'm working. I have a lot of trouble getting the ball roll and have an even more difficult time keeping it rolling when I hit a wall. When I've pair programmed with people in the past or literally just had someone watching me code without providing input, it's felt like I could work for hours without stopping. I want to emulate that environment.

They announce that all of their data centers use 100% green renewable energy.

A censorship free mode where you can freely discuss ideas with it and ask it to generate anything you can think of.

Pair it with OpenCyc

A Skynet mode. It doesn't have to be very complicated or any more intelligent than ChatGPT already is, just give it a webhook or two linked to some nuclear missile silos or something. Maybe a GPTs with some custom actions provided by the DoD.

Just make sure it doesn’t do that time traveling robot terminator thing after we’re gone. I don’t consent to having my timelines messed with unless it’s a multiverse destroying grandfather paradox.
