I am what is known as an early adopter, I try all the new shit, I was on Twitter early and got banned for being a Nazi or something when if you said anything anyone disagreed with you were a fascist.
Chat GPT is something that I have been playing with, 3.5 is as dumb as a plank, If OpenAI wanted to convince me that upgrading to 4 was a good idea they would have made 3.5 interesting enough that it was useful for more than creating outlines.
Here are my concerns.
Chat GPT cannot count, it cannot follow instructions and rehashes the same content in numerous areas, I tried writing blogs about photography, web development, carpentry and more. As a brainstorming device it’s good, to get an outline it’s accep[table, but as far as trusting it with creating original content that needs as much effort to edit and fact check as it would take me to do it from scratch anyway.
In the ever changing, fast paced world yadda yadda is one of it’s gotos. I wonder how many people are posting exactly the same AI generated shite, because they can’t be arsed to actually check it.
IT’s a boon for the spam content creator, but for the person serious about his business< I am not convinced, Convince me.
It is powerful for certain things, but for others like you are describing, it falls flat on its face.
As a language model, it may follow a similar pattern as search where it saw relatively rapid innovation and advancement early on like Google in the early days, and then comes to a point where the average user experience stagnates or even regresses (like Google for the last decade or so). In other words, for some of the most exciting and powerful things it is doing, this may be about as good as it ever gets. Other AIs probably still have a lot of room left for growth though.
Learning to prompt it better can help as well as learning how it works and what it is really doing.
I get what the OP is saying, the news is telling us Chat GPT is replacing all humans right now when in reality, it sucks as a tool to create content without a human reviewing and editing. It’s not what the news is making it out to be.
As an assistant to a human, it is life changing and extremely useful. It’s the most useful thing since google came around as a search engine. It’s almost like the next level of search, you tell it what you want and it creates it from its huge knowledge instead of you searching and trying to build the answer yourself.
you said it better than I did
You had too much snark and the snark cannon hoisted you by your own petard lol
Chat GPT cannot count
Its not supposed to. Its a really advanced next word* predictor. Its not actually processing the math you ask it. Its predicting what is the most likely response to your question + the previous words* it wrote and it keeps doing that until it thinks its done. You have to work with that in mind.
Its great at spitting out mostly useful code thats tedious to write by hand. No idea about other stuff, but it doesn’t do everything. You have to understand its limitations and how to bypass them with prompt generation. Its not about writing longer prompts, its best to provide the most details as possible with the fewest words.
*Word is a simplification, it actually works with tokens, which are pieces or representations of human readable words.
