ChatGPT: The Future of AI is Here!

[Jon]

For all you ChatGPT lovers out there, I came across this article which outlines some good ideas for case uses of this technology. It made me think of more ways I can take advantage of this excellent AI tool.

17 products you can build with ChatGPT

ChatGPT is on fire. It took it only 5 days to reach 1 million users and it shows no signs of slowing down. I did some diggin' around Twitter and Reddit...

I asked ChatGPT to come up with a funny slogan for this website. One of them was this:

"Microsoft Access: because Excel just wasn't complicated enough"

 

[Jon]

The previous link I posted had a funny example from ChatGPT. I couldn't stop laughing after reading response #1!

What you can find on the internet these days truly amazes me. But I must admit that this transcends most scatological humor I have previously encountered. Of course, there is a down side to all of this. It really sends the wrong message when in a bar trying to pick up a lovely young lady for an evening of fun.

 

[Jon]

I tried a new prompt based on the pooping theme, and although the answer was supposed to be serious, it still had me laughing!

It said its important to maintain good personal hygiene!

"Chatgpt doesn't currently have access to the internet" ? Huh??
WTF

Also I wish people would realize the best blogs have expandable images. If you embed an image on a blog article that can' be expanded easily (like with the magnifying glass), your article is about 90% more useless than one that does.

I like a few of the ideas, though. Others I thought were pretty dumb - like the Transitions for ad creators, those were at the level of a 10 year old and I would certainly hope anyone with a career in Creative Writing could do a lot better!
Here is an equivalent: The world is a really big place. and just like the world is a place. nord vpn has its place"...uhh c'mon.

I think people are definitely going to over-use chat gpt to where you can actually recognize when they've used it.

They are currently working on systems to make these neural nets live. The cost of training the neural net runs into the millions, and so they need a different way to integrate new material. But it is happening.

We have to remember that ChatGPT is based on GPT 3.5. GPT 4.0 is coming soon, and some rumours are that it might have multiple modality, or in laymans terms, images, text, audio and so on.

Not sure if you are aware, but DALL-E can turn text descriptions into images. You get a few free credits to play with it. It is at the openai site again.

I just tried this on it: "Impressionist painting of a community of people in fear of their artificial intelligence overlord"

 

[AccessBlaster]

You get a few free credits to play with it.

what does this mean?

 

[Jon]

It normally costs money to use, where you buy credits. Pictures cost you credits, and maybe some other featuers cost more credits. So they give you some to get started.

 

[Jon]

They have an AI that can turn natural language into SQL and also one that can create SQL queries. You can see some of these different bots here:

At the risk of being a bit harsh, sometimes when we get a question to be turned into something SQL-ish, the person posing the question doesn't fully understand the problem and therefore a natural-language query-maker will have as much trouble as we often do. How many times have we answered a question and later discovered that the asker thought they were asking something totally different?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

James Douma, an AI expert, and Dave Lee talk about ChatGPT on Dave Lee's YouTube channel.

Dave and James have had several previous discussions about AI, usually in regard to the Tesla self-driving AI.

With Dave's expert hosting and James deep knowledge of AI the discussions are always insightfully presented in layman's terms. The two gel well together and make for an entertaining, thought provoking discussion.

 

[Jon]

@Uncle Gizmo I just watched some of that video. Some interesting things in there, like explanations on how these AI's work.

It think 2023 will be the Year of The AI. Or, in other words, the year that AI really takes off with strong intelligence and increasing utility. It has been progressing quite well over the last 5 to 10 years, but with the launch of ChatGPT we are suddenly confronted by smart AI that can provide answers, create images, make up rhymes, do computer code and a host of other things. And it will only get stronger, and rapidly. I'm excited to see what GPT4 brings, which is just around the corner with some predicting its release in the first quarter of 2023.

I read that in an interview with a Microsoft exec, he said that what people thought will be coming in 2033 will be coming in 2023. I presume this is an opaque reference to GPT4's capabilities. Will it be conscious? [Will it have Free Will?]

I think as long as the tool is TRULY "interactive", this may be less of a problem, as the tool can refine iterations based on additional feedback and input.

This is one thing I noticed about chat gp and as a matter of fact I feel the word "interactive" ought to be more limited in its use.
When someone tells me a tool is "interactive", to me anyway, it gives me an expectation that I will be able to continue interacting with it throughout a multi-step, iterative process. Too often what the seller really meant is simply that the machine accepts a one-time input. If you aren't happy with the outcome, you can always keep trying different commands, but this is VERY different than the machine doing what I think would be much more useful: Generate an output, and offer the option to continue refining THAT OUTPUT--not a fresh new one--by interactive feedback.

 

[Jon]

ChatGPT is interactive. You can ask it a question. Then after the response, you can say things like:

- Summarise that in 2 sentences.

- Expand on that.

- But what about X?

And so on. It recognises context.

I've learnt today that you can that you can do something like this:

If I was starting a new website today, what advice would you give if you were a legal advisor?

If I was starting a new website today, what advice would you give if you were a successful startup founder?

If I was starting a new website today, what advice would you give if you were a marketing consultant?

Just giving ChatGPT a persona to adopt, you can get more specific advice!

 

[Jon]

There is of 3rd party Chrome extensions for ChatGPT:

ChatGPT for Google search

It displays ChatGPT results next to Google search results. I think it is best to set it as manual so you only click the button when you need a chat gpt response.

 

[Jon]

Thought I would try something on ChatGPT to see if it could help with structuring folders for a website project. It did a great job! It might mean more if you have created website in React and JavaScript, but I'm sure you can get the gist of it.

Edit: I clicked Regenerate Response a few times and it is giving different folder structures each time, all good suggestions.

Another good site for AI generated artwork is

Midjourney

Not sure whether its AI or not but I have an interpreter mode on my Google Pixel 7 and it is really good. Both parties speak into the phone and it will translate between the languages..
