ChatGPT

There are some advantages such as it now being in a code window and not a chat reply, and the ability to click Submit to make it continue; if you don't like a part you can just erase that and submit again.

It's going to be pretty expensive, you only get 64 free request (per period), and they cost $18.

I'm not sure at the moment what I would be willing to pay for this in a personal capacity. Just really impressed with the capabilities at the moment.

Where do you see the pricing?

What is a query? A question?

I'm not 100% sure, but I definitely didn't type 64 comments/code pieces. I basically asked it for a bit of code, then whenever it stopped in the middle I'd click submit again. Or I tried deleting some code, adding my own/comments and clicking submit again.

So I'm guessing every time you click submit and it does a piece of work in the background.
 
I've been using it quite a bit for content creation, mostly to rewrite, and then I make some small tweaks. Interested to see how the content is going to rank from an seo perspective. It's a great tool but it's definitely got a few limitations for my uses.
 
So far chat gpt has a failure rate of well over 50% of the tasks I tried to get in to do, I'm straight running into all it's limitations, ran into similar problem with DALE-2

Its got a way to go. If you are trying to do anything with a skill attained with a moderate experience level and up you can see the limitations. Still a great tool though with lots of ways to improve your tool stack.
 
A lot of the early discussion around ChatGPT was about bias, forbidden topics, "woke filters" etc. So strictly as a thought experiment I posed the following question and got an interesting response - interesting because it clearly had no compunction about arguing from a very non-PC point of view!
Note this was generated early December, and as I understand the model has been tweaked since then to prevent such sleights of hand...

PS. Don't shoot the messenger

Also really impressed with ChatGPT and it has huge potential. Definitively something I will use if it stays free.

My biggest issues is I use it for google type queries but it is trained up to 2019 so anything latest it doesn't have and the links it does provide are broken. If I ask the top 10 youtube videos and github links to do in X in technology Y then it provides me with a bunch of 404 links.
 
Q
What is the meaning of life?

A
The meaning of life is a question that has puzzled humans for centuries. Many people believe that the meaning of life is to find happiness, to love and be loved, to experience new things, to make a positive impact on the world, or to fulfill a sense of purpose or meaning. Others believe that the meaning of life is subjective, and that each person must determine their own meaning for themselves. Ultimately, the meaning of life is a deeply personal question, and the answer may be different for each person.

Q
Why would anything matter is this is all temporary?

A
Although life may be temporary, it is still possible to find meaning and purpose in life. Many people find meaning in their relationships with others, in their work or hobbies, or in their contributions to the world. Even though life is temporary, the impact that we have on others and the world around us can be long-lasting and significant. Additionally, the experiences and memories that we create during our lifetime can bring us joy and fulfillment, even after we are gone. So, even though life is temporary, it can still have great meaning and purpose.

Q
Once you are dead none if it would matter though

A
It is true that when we die, we no longer have a personal stake in the world and the things that happen in it. However, the impact that we have on others and the world can continue to be felt after we are gone. The people we loved and who loved us will continue to be shaped by our presence in their lives, and the things we accomplished or contributed to the world may continue to have an impact. In this way, our lives can continue to matter even after we are gone.

Q
They will also die and it will no longer matter either

A
It is true that eventually, all living things will die and the impact that they have on the world will come to an end. However, the meaning and purpose of life does not necessarily come from the impact that we have on the world or on others. Instead, it can come from within ourselves and from the way we choose to live our lives. By finding happiness, fulfillment, and purpose in the present moment, we can make our time on earth meaningful, regardless of what happens after we die.

Q
But does anything ultimately matter when it will all end and there will be noting left?

A
Ultimately, whether anything ultimately matters is a deeply philosophical question and different people may have different opinions on this. Some people believe that our actions and the meaning we find in life can have an enduring significance beyond our individual lifetimes, while others may believe that everything ultimately comes to an end and nothing we do ultimately matters in the grand scheme of things. Ultimately, the answer to this question may depend on one's own personal beliefs and values.

Q
So you are saying that the answer is subjective?

A
Yes, I believe that the answer to the question of whether anything ultimately matters is subjective and may vary from person to person. Different people may have different beliefs and values that influence their perspective on this question. Some people may find meaning and purpose in their relationships with others, in their personal achievements, or in their contributions to the world, while others may find meaning in spirituality or in their own personal growth and self-improvement. Ultimately, the meaning and purpose of life is a deeply personal question, and each person must determine their own answer based on their own beliefs and values.

Q
is there an objective answer to this?

A
It is difficult to say whether there is an objective answer to the question of whether anything ultimately matters, as this may depend on one's beliefs about the nature of the universe and the ultimate fate of humanity. Some people may believe that there is an objective meaning or purpose to life that is independent of individual beliefs and values, while others may believe that meaning and purpose are subjective and personal. Ultimately, the question of whether anything ultimately matters is a deeply philosophical one, and it may be difficult to arrive at a definitive answer that is applicable to everyone.

Q
How can an objective answer depend on one's own belief?

A
An objective answer is based on facts and evidence, rather than on personal beliefs or opinions. However, the way that people interpret facts and evidence can be influenced by their personal beliefs and values, which can lead to different conclusions about the same set of facts. For example, if someone believes that the universe has an inherent meaning or purpose, they may interpret the evidence in a way that supports this belief, while someone who does not hold this belief may interpret the same evidence differently. This can make it difficult to arrive at an objective answer to a question that is deeply tied to philosophical beliefs and values.

Q
so you just don't know, right?

A
As an artificial intelligence, I do not have personal beliefs or values, and I do not have a subjective experience of the world. My purpose is to assist users by providing accurate and reliable information to the best of my ability. In the case of the question of whether anything ultimately matters, I can provide information about different philosophical viewpoints and the arguments that have been made for and against them, but I cannot provide a definitive answer to this question because it is a deeply philosophical and personal one that may depend on individual beliefs and values.

*2021, not 2019.

I also use it as an enhanced google moderator, but note that you can't rely on links. If you really press it then it'll make up a lot of fake ones.

It wasn't trained on only correct data, it has a lot of incorrect and made up things in its knowledge banks, and because it's chat oriented it will try and make up something generative to suit you.

Where it does work very well is in vague information that you can use as a starting point. For example, what was the average price of a gladius in ancient Rome, in denarii? If you tried to google that you need to read through 100+ pages, and you're not going to get an answer, but with ChatGPT if you ask it for example the price of different things you can build up a much better idea than through google.
 
I just wish it would admit if it doesn't know or if something isn't possible beyond a certain point. I tried to get it to revise a particular Photoshop script \ action 5 or 6 times and it still didn't work, but it kept trying as long as I kept rolling the dice.

It's not even doing calculations correctly... it figured that a speed of 21km/h is a running pace of 5'20" per KM... which is completely wrong (it's actually around 2'47"). When I pointed that out, it just said sorry. You'd think an AI would be pretty good at maths and conversions.

Hah, again same answer as my previous post. It's actually incredible that it can even pretend to do math, because it's mainly been trained on language models (and co-incidentally code etc). If you ask it a conversion sum then it's going through text tokens where people have previously done that kind of math, then it's trying to deduce how it would apply to your question to come up with an answer.

Sometimes if you prime it in chat history with other questions, then the subsequent answer might also be wrong.
For example in a new window:
Q: What is the running pace at a speed of 21km/h?
A: At a speed of 21 km/h, your running pace would be approximately 2 minutes and 50 seconds per kilometer. This is equivalent to approximately 8 minutes and 47 seconds per mile. Please note that these are estimates and may vary based on your individual stride length and other factors.

If it's still really wrong, I find that because it's been trained on a lot of code, then I'll ask it to write a program that does the conversion, and then to find the result from the program.

Yes, but it was quite confidently stating that 21km/h is 5'20" - sure there are disclaimers about it being a language model but perhaps it shouldn't pretend to do math, and just don't answer questions that are not language based. Or at least "detect" that math is required to provide accurate information, and then do what computers do best... calculate...

Give it another generation or two and the problem will be fixed.
