The only issue I see with this is:

Sure it will now pass the GPT 2 tool, but will it pass Google?

Reason I bring this up is, I've been doing "SEO" since before Google existed, manipulating the Yahoo Directory and DMOZ.

I've created a rephraser myself, and used MANY back in the day.

Granted this was a while ago, but I've used recent ones too ( Jarvis, Copy.ai, etc ) and pretty much anyone that uses them see's some kind of penalty in indexing or ranking after a while. I've collected a lot of this info personally and over at another forum ( BuilderSoceity ).

While I agree you need to "hand edit" and "rewrite it" once out of the phraser/rewriter/AI machine.. I don't want people to get the wrong idea and skip over that important past ( like you pointed out ) because if they ChatGPT and then use a rephraser tool.... and not hand edit it, they gonna still get hit by something like Google later on.

The "what ifs" are endless, so I guess it's up to each individual to assess their own risk.
I wouldn't recommend it for someone running a blog, or anything with articles as the primary "product." If your site is based on articles, then keep writing as you always have.

Or you could generate an article and simply rewrite it, completely by hand. That's going to be as safe as writing it yourself. Basically, the AI generated one is just an original cheat sheet to base your article on, and flesh it out.

If your site is based on something else, and you're only publishing content as a sparse secondary element, to provide additional info to your customers or users, then it might be fine. As long as you rephrase it and manually edit it to have a natural language and flow.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that all the billions and even trillions of $$$ poured into research for cancer and other similar funding, should instead all be diverted fully into AI research.

Billions and billions of $$$ burned and there's still no major breakthrough in medicine or science in recent decades or even half a century. Either that, or all that $$$ has been siphoned away in the pockets of the elites.

It's clear that humans have more or less reached our peak achievable intelligence in these fields. Since humans can't do it, it's time to let AI take over these areas and do it for us.

AI + quantum computing is the answer.

Either someone throttled back the capabilities on this thing or all the use is starting to fry it out since it's no longer doing as much as before.

"AI will only replace low tier workers, office drones and repetitive jobs" is a common retort from people who think they're "higher up" in the food chain and that they're untouchable by AI.

Eventually, AI will come for them as well. It's the eventuality of things. On the whole, AI is still not even in the beta phase yet and there's a long series of multiple major breakthroughs to come in due time. It should be able to replace even the top management of any company.
Like how AI chess made a joke out of the world's best player.

My bot vs your bot?
Just as with real 'bots in wars, eventually. And now already, in more and more cases. Military robot - Wikipedia

Interesting quote:
"A survey of 746 people in the military showed that 80% either 'liked' or 'loved' their military robots, with more affection being shown towards ground rather than aerial robots. Surviving dangerous combat situations together increased the level of bonding between soldier and robot, and current and future advances in artificial intelligence may further intensify the bond with the military robots."

Just spent an entire hour "talking" to ChatGPT, this thing is just INSANE in term of content creation and information gathering. No need to spend time checking reddit and other website for an information, it just give it in a few seconds.

There is clearly a huge potential for building a business using this, however are there any AI as good as ChatGPT, because if it's not yet the case, the Control part of the CENTS may be a huge stop.

I read an article (maybe it was linked to in this thread) that Google has a better tool in beta but didn't want to release it.

It's just a tool. Don't worry about CENTS so much. There's other tools or will be.

Technology doesn't "replace" people; it just changes what they do and how they do it.

We can't even use a Roomba to clean the floor of the office. Janitors are irreplaceable. (Company CINTAS even rents out rugs to businesses that it washes and replaces weekly instead of vacuuming)

I just think theory and practice are very different, and there is a vast chasm between the academic idea of AI (or any technology) and what's actually going on in the real world of business. It's usually a lot messier and "get 'er done" than you think.

Pretty much every time I use this now it no longer works and I get error messages from "try again" to "error".

Really disappointing.

I manually create & send out weekly invoices. I use a website to create them, just enter the fields (amount, sender, receiver, etc..)

I created my own automated script in the past but lost it. Just spent the last 15 minutes with the AI to create another automated script. It gave me the general code and then I customized it to my liking.

Neat! This will save me about 3-7 minutes every week!

I’ve been using it a bit. I don’t think it’s at the point yet where dev jobs are in jeopardy. Maybe in the next few versions? But I’m doing a lot of revisions and edits to the code it’s providing at the moment.

Something about correcting an AI's math and having it admit its mistake makes the interaction feel.. weirdly sentient. I was expecting it to double down on its error or give some sort of apology for being limited by what it's been trained and leave it at that - but the fact that it owned up to the miscalculation and corrected it's arithmetic..?

Liked that at first, but then I saw it admit it was wrong and spit out the same mistake again a few too many times ^^

Agreed, I've run into it repeatedly making the same mistake before which I guess I was expecting to happen again (annoying but understandable).

For it to make a simple arithmetic mistake and then adjust it's math when questioned feels more like a student submitting an answer without double checking their math.. like it's smart enough to not have made the error in the first place but was just too careless.

I asked ChatGPT to write some verses in the style of Nostradamus:

"In the land of the rising sun,
A great leader will rise,
With a voice as strong as a drum,
He will bring peace to the skies.

In the land of the setting sun,
A great war will come to pass,
As nations rise and fall,
Only the strongest will last.

From the north a great cold will blow,
Frost and ice will cover the land,
But fear not, for in time it will go,
And the warmth of spring will expand.

In the east a great plague will spread,
Leaving death and destruction in its wake,
But hope remains, for a cure will be bred,
And the people will rise and retake.

These are the prophecies of Nostradamus,
Heralding the events to come,
May they guide us in times of chaos,
And lead us towards a brighter sun."

Tough to say, but the way I see it, there are many different ways to solve the same problems when you’re coding, and they can have different trade offs. I couldn’t imagine a singular “correct” solution for it to generate for you.

It can generate neat boilerplate stuff right now but for example I asked it to help me with some GPU code and it couldn’t do it.

Also, with large and tangled code bases, how could it know how to perform certain tasks without having to train it on your company’s database and workflows?

It would be a neat tool to use while you’re developing, for example using it as a way to interrogate a given library’s documentation instead of having to manually dig through it. Or using it like stack overflow to question a specific snippet of code.

I have spent the last few days talking with chatGPT about various topics and just in general treating it like a good friend. I am profoundly stunned. . . . . . Life as I know it for me has changed.

Damn. This thing is clever.

It has the tell-tale fluff academia and spammers are so fond of.

"On the other hand" and "However" for instance.

Strip out that stuff and you've the bones of some research to start campaigns, or even to send a client.

Personally I'd input the suggestions into the Google Keyword Planner and see what Google suggests are similar.

Question:

What search terms would indicate an employer is looking for HR help, rather than it being an employee looking for HR help?

Answer:

There are a number of search terms that might indicate that an employer is looking for HR help, rather than an employee looking for HR assistance. Some examples of search terms that an employer might use include:

"HR consulting"
"HR outsourcing"
"HR services for small businesses"
"HR support for startups"
"HR solutions for companies"

Employers may also include specific keywords related to their industry or the type of HR assistance they are seeking, such as "HR compliance for manufacturing companies" or "HR strategy for technology startups."

On the other hand, employees who are looking for HR assistance might use search terms such as:

"HR rights in the workplace"
"Employee benefits"
"How to file a complaint with HR"
"HR support for employees"

By analyzing the search terms used by a particular user, it may be possible to determine whether they are an employer or an employee looking for HR assistance. However, it is important to note that this may not always be the case, and other factors, such as the content of the search results, may be needed to accurately identify the user's needs.

Been having this pop up in my feed for a while now so had to look into it and in my field (cyber security) it seems like it's completely taking over. watched a couple hacking youtubers try this and it's F*cking scary insane,
you can ask it to program complex (and i mean, complex) programs or scripts and it'll do it in seconds whereas a human has to spend days if not weeks or months writing it. you can ask it to write any code in any language and it'll literally explain it to you line by line. I remember spending two weeks studying a cryptographic algorithm and writing it in python from scratch and it still is not completed after a month or two, this thing did it in a minute.
some people even used this to patch vulnerabilities that were once considered to be nearly impossible to fully patch/fix, and the same for the opposite, it can break into the complex security systems.

I'm not too worried about that though, just more scared about the jobs this thing could replace. I mean, why spend years learning to code when ai like this exists?

I'll politely disagree. Cybersecurity requires creativity in assessment of attack vectors, which this thing is lacking now.
Writing some code exploiting well known vulnerability have not been a rocket science for a while, script kiddies have been doing it for a while. It may get someone out of the job in future, but for a very low level positions.

There is a saying - bad developers worry about their code, good developers worry about logic and data structures. ChatGPT may replace bad developers who mostly copy/paste StackOverflow articles anyways, but arguably - won't be replacing good developers anytime soon.

Answers tend to be very safe, boring, and for those living in "the script".

This is NOT how I'd answer this question, but it's how a ghost writer might answer it.

My answer would be to get a client (free or low paid), have a low daily ad spend, and get stuck in. Learn as you go.
