ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

[WillHurtDontCare]

I suspect because running AI at scale is hardware intensive. Maybe some computer science experts can point out.

That's part of it, but the other part is because it's more expensive to use these tools if you don't know what you're doing.

People who know how to use a particular model well for specific circumstances will be able to save companies thousands, likely millions of needlessly incurred costs.

And they will also be able to get companies who are afraid of losing money from ignorance to try it.

And there are things like pre-processing data (IE trimming a document down into key pieces of information) before passing it to the model that can reduce costs and improve results.

Lots of opportunity.

I'd wanted to learn more about atomic physics for a long time. But I'd constantly have to go back, digging through Feynman's lectures, watching YouTube videos about Maxwell's equations, trying to understand some of the implications of the quantum mechanical models, and it was always two steps forward, one step back. I would easily get distracted and confused.

I'm now reading a very dense physics textbook with many topics that I know too little of or nothing at all about. The book is open-source and the pdf available online.

I've been using ChatGPT to interrogate the book as I'm reading it in real time. Any section, in any chapter, that I don't understand, I ask ChatGPT to summarize more simply. Sometimes I ask it to explain with analogies or metaphors.

With ChatGPT I've been able to learn 10x faster than I would otherwise.

The way it can add the analogy to simplify things is impressive

Normally I'd hit Google for this and it would take me 20 searches and 1 hour to find the answer.

With ChatGPT ... it took me 20 seconds.

If you want to use AI to write code, github copilot is awesome. It saves me an hour or 2 of googling every day.

Yeah, I'm totally using it as a coding assistant now. It even helped me find an obscure bug in one of the ios core libraries last week (google + stack overflow had nothing).

Haven't tried co-pilot but gpt is awesome for this. Any particular advantages of co-pilot (@WillHurtDontCare)?

 

[Sujith_7]

Thank you for the thread.
Even though ChatGPT is smart like Google algorithm, I don't think it is going to replace Google. May be we will witness a healthy competition and co-existence. I truly think ChatGPT can never be a search engine like Google. One advantage this conversational bot has over Google is that, it present the results in absolute form. Unlike Google it shows the top answer for your query, but not a series of website pages.
Anyway this ai services smart application will make million's life and job easier. I think ChatGPT is going to be another or an alternative one stop solution, rather than a Google replacement.

Copilot has the advantage of being trained on code, specifically for coding. ChatGPT is more generally trained. I've found that the recommendations I get out of Copilot are far better than the ones I get from ChatGPT. Plus, the integration in (most of, Xcode extension when, Github?!) the IDE tools is super helpful.

I've heard of ChatGPT before, but some of these responses to your queries are CRAZY! I didn't realize just how sophisticated it is.

Have not seen huge improvements with the few things I have attempted, but some minor ones.

Thought that multimodal would be an interesting aspect, but it seems that will be limited to images in prompts and image modifications ... but since it is still a topic they study, they don't seem to offer any of these capabilities yet.

Where I saw some improvement was when I prompted it to start writing a novel and requested the first 200 words. It does sound more like an actual start of a novel, not like the summary on the back of the book. It could also come up with actual arcs for characters instead of telling me in a completely abstract way what characters arcs would be about. But I still was not impressed with the tell don't show tendency.

There seems to be zero improvement when I try to use it to tackle more complicated / complex coding projects.
Song lyrics have not gotten more sophisticated either, still very basic boring rhymes.

Then again, I did not test any of this systematically yet.

So despite all the hype and figures given by OpenAI, ChatGPT4 is not going to replace 50% of the global workforce yet....

Is there anything this can help a - normal business - do?

We manufacturer stuff, we have dealers, we ship containers of goods.
No coding, no content generation on social media, no APIs.

We just make stuff and ship it.

--
Can it help me:
- write job descriptions?
- hire / screen people
- do bookkeeping / financial auditing inside of an ERP?
- do demand planning inside of an MRP?
- Help find new logistics partners @ lower cost (or make the process easier).
- Answer customer questions and inquiries?


For a normal business, is there any reason I should be interested?
Or should I keep ignoring it like I ignore all social media, traditional media, crypto, NFTs and all that?

Those have never added any value to my life, despite what every single person has said, ever.

A handy simple trick is to get longer customer emails and ask ChatGPt what is most important here?

It saves a few minutes of reading longer emails that have dozens of different bits of random information.

You can also ask it to make them a professional reply (and give it a few key bits of information) and it does a decent job.

It is not a game changer but it does save 10-30 mins a day on basic admin work.

It would be pretty fine for this/definitely save time.

- hire / screen people
You'd have to make sure your prompt was spot on but you could easily feed it 100s of CVs/Resumes and cover letters and have it compare those to your list of requirements and have it give 'recommend' 'not recommend' replies. I've automated various similar tasks to this.

- do bookkeeping / financial auditing inside of an ERP?
- do demand planning inside of an MRP?
They give some tax example in their video but I guess this would depend on your exact use case/what format you can export your data in etc. This is an area I haven't explored fully yet, just seen their official example.

- Help find new logistics partners @ lower cost (or make the process easier).
Depends what your process is here/how you normally do this but if it's a big project/something someone is always working on/researching it could definitely help as long as the information is available on the web (you have to connect it to the web via your own code/scraper etc).

- Answer customer questions and inquiries?
This is a larger project as naturally customer contact is more important than the items above that are less 'real time' and can be checked before acting on them. despite the prompt limits you can give it almost unlimited amounts of data using embeddings which then allow only the relevant parts of say your FAQ, previous answers to common questions etc etc - whatever you put in the data - to be fed to the model along with the customer question to provide an answer. Some SAAS providers have gone further and have taught it to actually execute customer instructions based on plain text eg 'add this customer to the database as a lead, do this do that' and it can do that from this kind of training/set up. It may also involve fine tuning your customer support bot to answer in the way you'd like but this is an ideal use for these models if you get enough customer inquiries to make it worth doing/would save enough human time etc.

Man he must have struggled to make that so difficult to understand.

"If you start letting AI you don't completely own and control privately train on proprietary data, all a competitor will have to do to rip off everything you have is to ask the AI to rip you off for them."

Basically, own your own robots and don't let anyone else talk to them.

I asked ChatAI a bunch of stupid shit today after using it to make a FAQ for a business site that I have and then I got timed out. Asked me for a seven dollar monthly subscription.

You at the right place? A ChatGPT subscription is $20/mo, I paid it without thinking twice, and I paid it as a "thanks" to the problems it already solved.

I've been using ChatGPT quite extensively over that last week or so and I'm blown away. Today I spent a few hours with ChatGPT4 and it's scarily effective.

It made me think.

If ChatGPT4 can summarise information so succinctly and efficiently, what does this mean for books? If I can use ChatGPT4 to provide me with the main themes and teaching of a book, do I need to read it?

The majority of business books and self development books are 90% padding and fluff. If I can cut that crap out and get to the good stuff quickly then why would I bother reading the book?

I do like reading as a past time and I think the additional fluff can sometimes add another perspective but time and life is short and I'd rather squeeze as much out of a book as efficiently as possible.

What do you guys think?
