If you haven't understood yet what the potential of ChatGPT has to change everything, another quantum leap in capability is coming very soon... plugins

The good news:
This give ChatGPT4 the ability to leverage plugins from other software and services. It can also access any data you provide to it and can accept and produce images.

This is an informative video that explains some of what can be done.


The not so good news:
4 months ago most people didn't know this existed. Since then there's been 2-3 quantum leaps in capability which will fundamentally change how many things will be done including eliminating many types of jobs, including new jobs where new businesses that were going to build applications based on ChatGPT won't even have a chance because you can now do all that in ChatGPT itself.

The bad news:
A revolutionary tool that has the potential to change everything is controlled by the political bias of the progressive globalists that developed it. At its core, AI is the ability to multiply the mind of its developers by a factor of a billion.

Anti-trust action for OpenAI is needed yesterday.

Agree 100%.

The cat is out of the bag though.

Things are gonna get way out of control before we have an opportunity to reign it all in.

From Ray Kurzweil, who predicted a Singularity which describes a point in the not to distant future where AI overtakes humanity...

Quote:
Kurzweil's core thesis, is a little thing called "the Law of Accelerating Returns."

That's why, to drive home the power of exponential growth, Kurzweil likes to use a folktale. Here's his explanation from the 2001 essay, "The Singularity is Near":

I am fond of telling the tale of the inventor of chess and his patron, the Emperor of China.

In response to the emperor's offer of a reward for his new beloved game, the inventor asked for a single grain of rice on the first square, two on the second square, four on the third, and so on. The Emperor quickly granted this seemingly benign and humble request.

One version of the story has the emperor going bankrupt as the 63 doublings ultimately totaled 18 million trillion grains of rice. At ten grains of rice per square inch, this requires rice fields covering twice the surface area of the Earth, oceans included. Another version of the story has the inventor losing his head.

Quote:
And it's only when a technology like a smartphone comes in and suddenly shifts our entire culture that we start to realize how quickly things are accelerating.

That's because, Kurzweil says, humans are linear by nature and technology is exponential.

Technology's relentless, predictable, and exponential growth will, according to the law of accelerating returns, bring humans into the era that Kurzweil is most closely associated with, the singularity.

"As exponential growth continues to accelerate into the first half of the twenty-first century," he writes. "It will appear to explode into infinity, at least from the limited and linear perspective of contemporary humans."

The singularity (or Singularity) is used to describe the era when artificial intelligence supplants human intelligence as the most-capable processing power around.

Quote:
Elon Musk has repeatedly said that we should be afraid of these high technologies. He's said that "with artificial intelligence we're summoning the demon," and that it poses the "biggest existential threat to humans."

You still have to build things and transport raw materials and energy to get things done.

Chat bot can't do that.

Chat not can help organize humans to do it though.

It's a stunning piece of new technology no doubt. I was blown away, and use it in my job and everyday life. Very easy to summarize or respond to information, emails, etc.

That being said, when it's wrong, it can be really wrong, and will never know it's wrong unless a human corrects it.

Will it eliminate a ton of jobs? Maybe a few, but overall I don't really think so, as in the end a human has to validate, and oftentimes a single mistake can be extremely costly to a business.

True, for now.

This is still basically an alpha version of it. Just look how far it is has come in a year. Give it another year. five years.

Yes, people will need to catch mistakes but it is going to streamline the hell out of so many processes. Which will increase efficiency in huge leaps. Increased efficiency, less humans in the loop. It is exact same thing we see in automation for past 3 generations. This will just apply to.....well, just about everything.

Humans will still need to work and fix and create. All the humans and processes that support THOSE humans though are going to face some major upheaval in the very near future.

I finally broke down myself and started implementing at my own work. Nothing crazy yet but it has already saved me at least a full days worth of research and study and learning and I think I have used it maybe four times now? For example I needed some code conversion and with about 8 mins of time and maybe about 6 prompting questions I had a functional code in a language I had never used before and will likely never look at again. It's not the most elegant or fastest but you know what? It works. So instead of poring through YouTube videos and trial and erroring I was able to crank out what I needed and move on with my life. That was both awesome....and a pretty sobering moment for me tbh.

Sure it will streamlines processes. But will it eliminate jobs, or will productivity expectations simply increase? I honestly don't know.

And yes, it speeds up the coding process yes, but the number of features to implement, bugs to fix are endless. Again I think productivity expectations will increase. And if all your competitors are using ChatGPT, well, the relative speed of work will remain the same.

In an industry where one line, one character can crash an entire data center either immediately or slowly, I highly doubt it'll significantly affect the number of jobs.

Y'all are thinking about this too much. It's easy. In 10 years instead of saying "Hi, how are you?" we will instead say "Hi, what is a woman?" If the "person/app/business" can't give a precise answer then it's a bot and you go find another business. These machines will not be capable of answering these most basic questions and thusly we can use it as an easy litmus test

Publishers have already stopped accepting unsolicited manuscripts and will likely only work through agents soon because the vast majority of what they are receiving now was written by AI.

They will have to add "verified to be human" to books very soon for anything new.

Even more incredible (and demon summoning) is that the ability to train it on your own library (read: biased to your worldview) is also just over the corner (it's already fairly common for images, but close for the language stuff).

We will have all out internet bot battles on forums with very little human input.

How do I know you aren't a bot already? How do I prove that I am real myself? Makes you think.

Actually I know the answer, just tell the other poster to say a racist term and that will prove it. "I'm sorry I can't do that Dave."

Lol that will be the key to discovering/short circuiting them: a logic problem where the only answer is to say something positive about a Republican

Most of what we already see is fake today, beyond what is directly in front of us. Anything coming from the TV, Internet, News Media is all paid for. It's a constructed world controlled by the most powerful ideologies designed for wealth and power.

Gen Z is craving authenticity like no other generation before her because of this. They know it's fake - that's the good news.

But I do believe that those in power will try to use this to create even more mass psychosis and gain more power. It's not headed in a good direction, even if we are waking up to it all.

I'm a small business and I'm already thinking about how I use AI. If I don't, my competitors will and they will win the cost war. I used ChatGPT yesterday to write a contract clause. Saved me $400.

Was at an appliance service training and chatgot got brought up for customer service templates and marketing by one of the service managers. The instructor lauded it, claimed it was changing the way everyone works and everyone in the class needed to learn how to use and maximize its potential for their business.

Separately, I posted in another chstgot thread that a gentleman has figured out how to make their own chatgpt3.5, completely unlocked, for about 5-600$ depending on how much data you train it on. It's a Cambrian explosion from there.

Separately, Bing has connected theirs to the internet and now you can source and derive live information from Gpt...

I'm gonna get a Texags GPTChat account that just praises Trump 24/7. Think of all the glorious F16 stars!

Also, once a week, I'll have it start a Texit/Civil War thread. It will soon become the most popular F16 poster on here.

Been telling people at work that if we don't start using this then we're all going to get run over by a train soon enough. We have no choice, it's either adapt or die.

Frightening. Hopefully, people will design these plug-ins so they can somehow override the inherent wokeness that the first programmers included.

No idea if that's possible though.

add a plug-in where one bot claims to be lifelong conservative but is just SOOO Concerned about the lack of Moderation in the GOP that they have no choice but to goalie for Dems on every single topic.

Yeah, that's Llama & Alpaca. That gives me some hope that it won't be one company controlling it all. They've used ChatGPT to train their own dataset for only $600 vs the millions OpenAI spent training theirs. And yes, it somehow seems to be free of the bias ChatGPT has even though it was trained by ChatGPT.

For the first time in my tech watching experience.... the hype is being outpaced by the actual use cases and adoption. It's terrifyingly amazing to watch.
