I had a weird effect with it: I played around with it for about an hour and was pretty impressed - I can't really wrap my head around how it can do some of the things it does. Then I started to see the patterns, and got repeatedly disappointed by having to adjust and refine my prompts. Then I got downright nonsense back from it and gave up. Either I made it to some kind of uncanny valley, and it would get better if I invest more time, or most people who get amazed don't make it that far.
At this point I'm mainly concerned about the unimaginable heap of garbage it will release on the world - good enough to impress decision makers at first glance, annoying to deal with if you actually have to work with it.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoI feel like it’s state can be corrupted and it ends up in some weird rut. Often by telling it to try again I can unwedge it but sometimes I have to reset the entire state and start the convo over again. Each time is slightly different. These seem like bugs that optimization heuristics can overcome (like maybe replaying the same convo repeatedly and choosing the highest information next prompt to present? Who knows. It’s basically magic and I’m waving coconuts hoping the planes will land)
- fhd2 4y agoPretty much! It probably sounds lame, but the main reason I enjoy programming is that I can, if I take enough time, reason about everything that's going on and use that knowledge to build, fix and improve systems people get some value out of. For me, the magical part is the possibility to understand the magic. I find it even hard to reason about models I have full access to, downright impossible if it's some blackbox on someone else's severs. Maybe I'm outdated, I suppose time will tell.
