What are peoples thoughts on this? Have you used it yet? What do you use it for? Any creative uses?

 

To date i only really use it for excel related queries, but curious if anyone has been more creative with it? 

 

Do you think the hype has been overboard?

Use it a lot at work (I’m a programmer) and find it very useful in giving high level explanations of concepts and basic templates to solutions. It’s just a tool

though and I don’t buy into the dystopian doomerism around it all. Just more sophisticated googling in my case, find it very useful, but got to be careful not to over rely on it it’s not perfect.

Yes, i believe this type of model just looks for language patterns and spits out answers, based off its dataset. Certainly not sentient like the one they have over at Google anyway...

 

Still handy for things like coding and trying to figure out why your formulas in excel arent working.

Never heard of the GPT.

I use it to create model writes for school. Saves me hours. Can ask it to add more adverbs or whatever I want. 

 

 

Be careful using it for anything important without checking its suggestions first.

 

As said above it basically just estimates what it should say next based on the question given and its previous output.

 

There's examples of it literally lying and doubling down when asked to clarify or challenged.

 

Trump GPT?

I'll use it for things like "write a first person account of a young man going over the top in Ypres in world war one. Describe the appearance and atmosphere using adverbs and precise adjectives." Then ask it to add or remove features as needed. 

 

I've notices it's shit at maths and if you ask it to generate a set of questions and answers you need to do the answers yourself. 

 

It's saving teachers loads of time but yeah fuck you pay me government!
