ChatGPT anyone try it?

[olbriar]

My son was telling me about ChatGPT. I checked it out briefly tonight. Here is what Google has on it:
ChatGPT is a chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3 family of large language models and has been fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. Wikipedia
Initial release date: November 30, 2022
I interacted via text not having a mic on my PC. I understand the verbal interaction is interesting. I was curious if anyone has given it a try and their impression.

I've used it pretty extensively. It can be a really powerful productivity tool!

For example, I used it to summarize a news article about the Oppo Find N2 which I posted in our tech news section: https://androidforums.com/threads/oppo-find-n2-reviews.1346481/

And I also used OpenAI to build my own website called Quickapedia:

Quickapedia

quickapedia.com

The idea is that it is like a mix between Google and Wikipedia, giving you quick and accurate answers to your questions. I figured rather than Googling things and giving Alphabet all my data, why not build my own little resource of content from my queries?

It has some bugs but 100% of the code was written by ChatGPT. I asked it how to create a WordPress plugin, told it what I wanted to accomplish, and kept prodding it until I got something that worked!

The hype about its evil personality and secretly wanting to escape is so dumb: a bunch of clickbait journalists manufacturing the story rather than reporting it. The technology isn't perfect... after all, it is based on millions of pieces of human written content, which obviously has errors. ChatGPT simply uses that database of content as the example, and based on what you tell it, tries to predict what might come next of the text already existed.

FAIL!!

This is NOT Chinese censoring, this is the OpenAI/chatGPS service denying access.

FYI I did try your webiste, but keep getting this error warning.

I'm using Astrill VPN, or your site won't load at all. Browser is Firefox on Mac.

I see most of the Colleges are trying to ban it because students are using it to do their Homework.

I spent my chat session asking how to do this and that on my phone. The answers were far better worded than my help posts. I can see how it might impact the education system. It will be interesting to see where AI takes the human race. I read somewhere, though a free service now, the speculated cost will be $20 a month. I didn't have a spare Jackson when I was going to college.

Yeah, I've been asking ChatGPT how to fix it but it keeps sending me in circles lol... need to find some time to work on that at some point but it's more of a random fun thing than anything else.

Every time I try ChatGPT it keeps telling me the same thing ... who's this Sarah Connor that I'm supposed to kill?

me:
tell me a story about androidforums.com


chatGPT:
Once upon a time, there was a website called androidforums.com that was created by a group of passionate Android enthusiasts. They wanted to create a space where people could come together to share their knowledge, experiences, and opinions about Android devices and apps.
The website quickly became popular, and many users from all around the world joined the community. They shared tips and tricks for getting the most out of their Android devices, reviewed the latest apps and smartphones, and helped each other troubleshoot any issues they encountered.
As the community grew, the website evolved too. The moderators and administrators worked hard to improve the site's user experience, adding new features and functionalities to make it easier for users to find what they were looking for. They also established strict rules and guidelines to ensure that the community remained respectful and helpful to all members.
Androidforums.com became not just a website, but a community of people who shared a common passion for Android. They formed bonds and friendships that extended beyond the website, and even met up in real life to attend Android-related events and conferences.
Over time, androidforums.com continued to thrive and remained a go-to destination for anyone looking to learn more about Android. And so, the story of androidforums.com became a testament to the power of community and the importance of passion and dedication in building something great

curious anybody upgrade to the plus plan? its $20 a month. i'll wait a few months and see.

 

[olbriar]

It's cool... no doubt about it. I'm not sure it's worth that to me however. Now in Rob's case it could easily be justified as he cited earlier. I'm sure it will be worth the cost to many.

Didn't think my heart would grow heavy when I started reading your post... but WOW. That's actually really, really sweet. And accurate.

I've been playing with GPT3 (the underlying 'intelligence' behind chatGPT) here: OpenAI GPT-3 Playground | Discover AI use cases
It's free to use but you'll need to register.

I think the fear over that had a lot to do with the infamous Microsoft chat bot Tay a few years ago:

Why Microsoft's 'Tay' AI bot went wrong

Less than a day after she joined Twitter, Microsoft's AI bot, Tay.ai, was taken down for becoming a sexist, racist monster. AI experts explain why it went terribly wrong.
