Yeah that isn't reliable, you can ask mistral 7b instruct the same thing and it will often claim to be created by OpenAI, even if you prompt it otherwise.

Kind of like humans?

Have you used any of the Mistral 7b models? They're really good, I think the 7b model just shows what they're capable of. They also dropped an 8x7b mixture of experts model yesterday, that should be very interesting to try.

This is so untrue. Most high schoolers run a Google search for their queries first. Most of the time just looking for a Wikipedia page. Occasionally smart ones will Google and append "reddit" to the end of their search when looking for opinions but a lot of highschoolers barely know what reddit is. YouTube would probably be next up and then maybe TikTok. But Google is still 100% the first place to go.

It's fairly simple to estimate ram requirements based on parameter count: https://blog.eleuther.ai/transformer-math/

You aren't, but who's going to stop you?

I think this may be useful for people who are already interested in learning various things on the internet, however I don't think it would necessarily pull most people away from the highly addictive content they are already consuming. In my experience people who are curious will find the resources they need to satisfy their curiosity and it's very hard to get those who aren't curious to engage with anything.

I am currently in high school, you definitely are right that the majority of people my age do just waste their time on YouTube (I do too sometimes) but there are a few of us that really take advantage of it. I have personally spent a large amount of time on YouTube learning to program over the past few years, I have now become quite competent and built some pretty cool things on my own (search engines, chess bots, personal web apps, competitive programming, etc.) My brother older brother spent a lot of time watching videos about physics and math to the point where he is now doing a physics degree. A lot of my other friends have used it to cultivate other skills and knowledge for free too.

ChatGPT isn't just a ux change over gpt3 a lot of work was put into RLHF that makes the output so much better.

What I would like to do is ski race on the world cup circuit but since I am not good enough and don't have infinite money I'm going to need to find another option.

100% for the near term but a couple decades from now I'm not so sure. Chess computers beat humans every single time even the absolute best of the best and they keep getting even better even since they first beat a world champion over 30 years ago. Is it not likely that similar trends could happen in other areas?

To your point on working on projects and having a shared interest with your kid. My dad is a doctor and has been learning to code for the past few years for fun and to build tools to use in his work. I'm a highschool student and have been learning to code alongside him. I'm a bit more advanced than he is because I have more free time to learn so when he gets stuck I help him out. Helping him solve bugs in his code is really great bonding time and I highly recommend doing something like that with your child / parent.

The art of code is such a good talk. I've watched it a few times and enjoy it every single time.
