Chat GPT

SilentProf said:
AI is going to make a lot of jobs redundant but it will also solve a lot of the world’s problems. It’s a matter of time and processing power before it’s replacing teachers and medical professionals and it will do a far better job than both. Imagine a 24/7 instant access GP who can learn about new conditions and treatments the instant they’re discovered by any other GP in the world.

I can't wait until somebody puts it in a box which can be put on the mantlepiece, it can understand spoken word and speaks itself - our lass will love arguing with it and I can just stick my headphones on and leave her to it ..

Our lass argues with Alexa all the time, and has done for about 5 years :LOL:

I think there is already a way to communicate with ChatGPT with a plugin verbally, and it can talk back too, from what I've read on twitter. It's like speaking to an expert on anything (with >98% accuracy and getting better), whereas Alexa probably has the conversational level of a 5-year-old, or is more like a narrator who doesn't know anything about the topic.
 
I said to a friend about 4 years ago that the next 'big breakthrough' in technology would be AI. We were talking about how drastically and fast technology has developed in our lifetime. (I'm 46).
However, I was thinking of AI in terms of virtual and augmented reality.
I've had a play around with ChatGPT. This weekend most recently. I asked it to create a simple football quiz based on premier league players for the season 22/23 for my 6 year old lad to answer. He loves football and loves football questions.
It gave me 8 questions. The second one of which was ...
"who did Lionel Messi play for during the 22/23 season. a) Tottenham b) Manchester City c) Leicester City"

I was a bit gutted that it had messed up as I wanted it to be 100% accurate and perfect. Until I looked to the end of the text where the answers were and it said "Messi didnt play for a premier league team"
It gave me a trick question...!!!! Wowsers.

See post #15 above - it's a Chrome extension called Voice Control for ChatGPT It gives you both audio and text input and output

Is this form of AI a form of google, Alexa, Siri mixed into one but just displayed in a more human kind of response? I can see schoolkids loving it, I haven’t got my head around how criminals may use other developing new technologies yet, all sounds a bit scary how quickly AI is developing, probably because I am still in the AI dark ages somewhat.

Is there an argument, however, that in the same way movies made us terrified of sharks, they have made us terrified of AI? Possibly.

I used it a few times a few months back, when it was using pre-2021 data, and it was ludicrous then, probably one of the most impressive things I've ever seen, or impressive in how things actually changed so quickly. Since then it's had an update and is now using current data I think. I've not even used Bing or Bard and they're meant to be even better in some ways.

I started re-learning programming before using chat GPT, and it seems beyond excellent at creating code (I think it uses codex which has been about for a while). It was far better than I ever was when I could actually code, back in the day, and a thousand times faster (and can do what I want in 100 different languages). With a bit of hand-holding, you can really do amazing things, but the people who will get the most out of it are the trained people and experts who can keep it on track, as it just saves a ludicrous amount of time. It would be hard for a novice to use it with code (instantly), as they wouldn't know what to ask it, and how to keep it on track. But the crazy thing is a novice can actually use it to learn, and for this, it is incredible when paired with other learning tools.

Once I get through my current to-do list, which is very long, I'm basically going to create a few programs to effectively replace what I do at work, or 75% of the time-intensive but relatively simple tasks, which will allow me more time to focus on the 25% where the money is actually made.

To me, for running a business, using AI will help me get ahead of the competition, in the same way that building a website and using Google AdWords both did back in the day.

Took me about 10 minutes of using it before I realised this is really going to change the world, and extremely quickly, it was like first using a search engine, but with 100x the power, and then knowing next year it's going to be 1000x, and so on. It's just going to improve the efficiency of anything which has any involvement in tech, which is just about anything.

ChatGPT writes decent bioler plate code, no more than that. It is very poor at writing efficient code, real-time code and anything that requires specialist knowledge. There are better resources at the minute for learning or indeed stealing code. It isn't a replacement for github.

Bing is slightly better and has access to the internet.

I am not even sure ChatGPT can be called an AI. It understands natural language and does a good job at fooling you into thinking you are taking to something sentient.

To be fair, it did pass the turing test, but most computer scientists don't think this is a good test.
As I said above, it doesn't understand the world ot how it works, despite having a huge index, nor will it, in my lifetime.

to be fair, its knowledge base stops in 2021. I think that's probably the last time all 3 where simultaneously ambulant.

It's an application based on a large language model (LLM) called GPT3.5. The 'P' stands for 'pre-trained' and the training dataset finished in 2021. You can get versions with direct access to the internet e.g the paid-for chatGPT or Bing Chat in 'creative' mode. Both use GPT4.

We open a window.

We have indoor cats so isn't really an option but a window isn't particularly effective at extracting moisture from a bathroom after a bath or shower, hence people have extractor fans, and without automation or a "smart" fan, it needs turning on, leaving for a time to run, and then turning off.

It's now controlled fully by either presence or the conditions in the room.

It's quite good at correcting its own code if you show it the errors. You can use it like Alexa if you install a Chrome extension - Voice Control for chatGPT. One of my Chinese students showed me this - she uses it to practice conversational English.

I dunno I've had it give me the code wrong several times in a row. I find it useful to see how things work but I don't fully trust it, but it sounds like it knows what it's doing. It'll then say "looks like this is wrong; try this" so why tell me it in the first place 😂 I've seen instances where it's made up citations as well.

I do find it useful to get started etc but it won't outright write the code for me. But if I have a starting point it will explain what I need to change.

Have you tried github copilot? I've just signed up for a free version (education accounts but I've not used it yet. Here's a comparison which suggests that copilot might incorporate chat in the next version (Copilot X)
 
I am hoping its smart enough to work out capitalism is a dumb unfair monetary system and proposes or imposes something fairer for all. Surely the people who have most to fear from ai are the establishment.

Sure, it may not be as efficient or as clean code, as a guy on 50k a year, spending two months on it, but it can get 90% there with an hour of back and forth, which is basically how my coder mates use it, and they use it for apps, websites, databases etc, they all love it. It's getting better all the time too of course. Clean code or code which is the most efficient as it can be is largely overrated too mind, for the vast majority of uses anyway. No point trying to write the most efficient thing ever and taking 6 months on it, when you could have something functional in a week, and then spend the next 5 months making it better. It's just another very good string to the bow, which when combined with other resources just makes everything better/ more efficient.

I suppose it's best used with a minder, but also opens the door to amateurs to crate basic functional programs with very little experience or knowledge.

Whether it is true AI or not doesn't really matter to most, if it acts like it does etc.

99% of people don't understand how the world works, and they never will, maybe nobody ever has.

I can see it playing havoc with the current education system, it'll be doing every kid and students homework.

It will get to the point (it's probably already there now) where you can learn 10 subjects enough with AI help in the time it takes you to learn 1. You don't even need to remember everything, just scratch the basics, learn and dump and move on, all the simple things just get filled in over time and you can re-learn them back at any time.

There's probably not much point in learning every nook and cranny in a topic if you have the best reference tool by your side to explain something, and it gets better at explaining it every year. You can basically spend more time on the key harder bits that you will need to know, it will basically just save masses of time.

It will probably end up being allowed to do kids homework (or be the end of homework), that should be the aim of it, and those who get the most out of it should get the best grades. It's a waste of time doing homework on basic tasks which anyone could do with AI help etc, and it should allow more weighting to be put on actual in-person tests, without the use of AI.

I've read about that a couple of months back, not used it but it looks very good, again something else which is moving on extremely quickly.
