I am surprised there aren't any post on here regarding it. Looks to be a game changer. If you haven't already, I highly recommend you guys check it out https://chat.openai.com/

It is highly trained in dialog, so you can talk to it like a human. A couple of examples.

I'm a dummy and don't fully understand the implications.

But at face value without any additional research, that seems like a massive leap forward in productivity/efficiency for any number of work tasks…

Yeah, I have been playing with it a lot this week and it does seem like a massive leap forward. I have seen some complaints that is does give incorrect answers at times, so things need to be verified. But I have been using it to get quick cooking recipes, even asking it to simplyify the ingredient list when it gives me too many for a dish. Also, have told it a few items I have in the pantry and ask it to give me a recipe/instructions limited to only those items.

As far as coding goes, I have asked to to rewrite functions in some code bases to be more efficient, follow better styling practices, or add a mundane feature (ie, random color generator that omits very light and very dark shades). It does make errors, but it does give me an extra set of eyes to maybe attempt a problem from a different prospective).

I have also asked it to re-write text in marketing materials to be more engaging. I don't always like the results, but again another set of eyes.

I've also been playing with it this week. But mainly to do things like write rap songs dissing ducks…

The Aggie football song it wrote for me. In the style of ac/dc
Quote:

Verse 1:
Aggie football, oh so bad
Never seems to win a game
In the stands, we groan and sigh
As we watch them fumble and fall behind

Chorus:
Aggie football, such a shame
We thought you had a chance to win
But once again, you let us down
Aggie football, you're the worst in town

Verse 2:
The other teams, they all rejoice
As they watch you crash and burn
Your defense is weak and slow
Your offense can't score a single point

Chorus:
Aggie football, such a shame
We thought you had a chance to win
But once again, you let us down
Aggie football, you're the worst in town

Bridge:
We'll keep on cheering, even though it's hopeless
We'll support our team, no matter what the score
We'll keep on believing, that one day you'll turn it around
Aggie football, we'll never give up on you

Chorus:
Aggie football, such a shame
We thought you had a chance to win
But once again, you let us down
Aggie football, you're the worst in town.

Well, I just had it rewrite a few scripts I've written for work, expanded their functionality, then converted them from Python to c++ in about 45 seconds. And they work.

Holy crap.

This is what I'm talking about. Even if it makes mistakes, it seems like it will be many orders of magnitude faster than humans slogging through the same process.

Wtf. I gave it a prompt to write a short code for excel similar to something I wrote at work the other day, and it spit out a VBA code almost identical to mine in about 2 seconds. Took me like 20 minutes to do it at work.

I had it write a story about A&M's offensive coordinator search based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory…important stuff!

Once upon a time, Texas A&M head football coach Jimbo Fisher was on the hunt for a new offensive coordinator. He had heard rumors of a mysterious coordinator who was the best in the business, but no one seemed to know where to find him.

After months of searching, Coach Fisher finally received a letter from Brian Kelley, the eccentric head football coach of LSU and the owner of the Wuhan Virology Lab. The letter stated that a golden ticket had been hidden inside a box of Aggie-brand cereal, and whoever found it would be given the opportunity to become the new offensive coordinator for the A&M football team.

Determined to find the golden ticket, Coach Fisher searched high and low, finally discovering it hidden inside a box of cereal that he had purchased at a local grocery store. Excited by his good fortune, he followed the instructions on the ticket and arrived at the gates of the virology lab.

Inside, he was greeted by Coach Kelley, who showed him around the facility. Coach Fisher marveled at the workers who were tirelessly producing covid tests. However, as they went about their work, they constantly ranted about their political beliefs, much to Coach Fisher's annoyance.

As they continued their tour, Coach Fisher and Coach Kelley came across a room filled with footballs made entirely of the latest generation of covid test kits. Coach Fisher was in awe, but Coach Kelley had other plans. He revealed that the real prize was not the test kits, but the opportunity to find the secret genius Oompa Loompa who was the best offensive coordinator in the business.

Coach Fisher accepted the challenge, and with the help of the Oompa Loompas, he searched the virology lab for the secret coordinator. After hours of searching, he finally stumbled upon the Oompa Loompa who was not only an expert in offensive strategies, but also a brilliant scientist who had developed a new treatment that would give the players superhuman strength and endurance.

Excited by his discovery, Coach Fisher offered the Oompa Loompa the position of offensive coordinator for the A&M football team. The Oompa Loompa accepted, and together they worked to create the most unstoppable offense in college football.

The team was on track to win the national championship, but just before kickoff, evil Joe Biden and Anthony Fauci ordered a covid lockdown, halting the game and crushing the Aggies' hopes of victory. Despite this setback, Coach Fisher and the Oompa Loompa continued to work together, determined to bring a championship to Texas A&M.

In the end, their hard work paid off, and the Aggies finally won the national championship. Coach Fisher and the Oompa Loompa were hailed as heroes, and they lived happily ever after, their partnership hailed as one of the greatest in the history of college football.

Tell me about the Artemis mission in the form of a limerick.
Quote:

Here's one possible limerick about the Artemis mission:

NASA's got a new plan,
To land on the moon again,
With Artemis, they'll go,
And explore where no one's been,
To help pave the way for a moon base, they'll know.

If I tell it George is shorter than Larry, it can list them in order of height.

If I tell it George is shorter than Larry and that Dave is the second tallest, it's stumped when I ask it to list them in order of height.

You don't really have to worry about formatting, just type the question and use ctrl+shift to paste the code on the line below. It's a chat bot too, so you can ask it follow ups or if it does something wrong, or you want it to write a unit test for the code it just gave you, you can ask it as follow-ups.


The only gotcha so far, is sometimes it won't complete the answer if it is kind of long. Just type "continue..." and it will. the "..." are necessary too, lol.

I was trying to write an android app to retrieve json data from an api and display it. I'm a C/C++ programmer and haven't programmed on the android before, and just learned that they use a language called Kotlin. I've been trudging through youtube videos over a few evenings to try and get it to work, but no luck.

Then comes chat.openai.com

OMG....
I just ask it how to do something and it gives me code. There's a part of it I don't understand, so I ask it to explain that part. Unlike most chatbots, this remembers what we're talking about and gives me a detailed explanation.

It doesn't quite work at first, so I give it the specific json format of the data I'm using and it updates the code example it's given me to use that specific data, and that fixed it.

The code is now able to retrieve data from the api. And so I continue developing in Kotlin to process the data, and if I need any examples of how to do something in kotlin, I just ask, and it gives me working examples, like "in kotlin how do I get the next word after a substring"... bam, there's the code. Or I ask it "in kotlin how do I make a callback that is called when a class member variable changes?"... Bam!

After a couple hours I now have an android app that reads, processes and displays data from an api. I'm just stunned.

The first time I pasted it in and had it add a few things. It didn't have an issue at all.

The next time I just told it what I wanted the script to do and it wrote it from scratch. It was damn close to what I wrote, but a little neater. Then I just told it to convert to C++ by literally typing "convert it to c++". Honestly, I had no use for it to do that, I just wanted to see what it could do.

Assuming this becomes the big thing that can replace google, I wonder how you monetize it. If you don't go to websites anymore since the ai just tells you the answer and websites shut down due to lack of ad revenue, does it still have access to the information?

Still waiting for OpenAI to become publicly traded. It'll probably never happen.

Isn't it owned by Microsoft? I'm guessing they'll charge developers and businesses to use its api, but that seems a little short sighted and I'm sure there are other ways they'll make a killing on this.

I believe Microsoft is only an investor and not an owner. I might be wrong on that.

Looking into it more, it looks like it's a partnership between them since Microsoft runs Azure through OpenAI, but I don't think it's owned by Microsoft.

Insaw a tweet earlier that they were going to give it access to the Bing search engine. My guess is that if Elon is an investor, it will get rolled into twitter at some point.

Elon was asking about the cost per chat and it was in single digit cents which is quite expensive so they'll need a way to monetize it eventually.

He mentioned that it was originally supposed to be open sourced and non-profit, but that is no longer the case. It had access to all of Twitter's data, but Elon has said he has paused that for the time being, since it no longer will be open source and non-profit

I guarantee you that my company would pay for this, if we could train it on our own internal knowledge bases and have the results be returned to an internally authenticated user. There is your monetization strategy.

The site is getting crushed today after going viral yesterday.

It was nice while it lasted.

It reminds me of Google first being released and everyone instantly recognizing it was a step change in technology. If OpenAI goes public, I'm going to invest a ridiculous portion of my savings there.
