Am I the only who think this is incredible!? If you would've told me a year ago when we would have an ai that can code based on normal human language prompts, I would've said maybe in 2025 or 2026, but its 2022 and it already exists! Man, if this what we have now, imagine what we will have in 2025 or 2030! I just hope this doesn't end up killing search engines and personal blogs, since no one needs to search for anything anymore. Also Ai generated replys are definitely an Extinction level threat for forums and the independent internet in general, let's hope OpenAI can find a way to make chatgpt replies easy to filter out.

This is a tool that I think openai originally made and seems to give you a probability that a sample block of text was or was not generated by openai. I pasted some of my own writing in there and said definitely not AI-generated. At this point, I don't know if I should be insulted by that or not. ;D https://huggingface.co/openai-detector https://huggingface.co/openai-detector

  Seems to have an issue with false positives: https://wandering.shop/@janellecshane/109464780848248093 https://wandering.shop/@janellecshane/109464780848248093

  502 bad gateway. Followed a link to the wayback machine but that page didn't do anything.

    Still works for me.

In the current state, everything the AI knows is stuff that people have written on the internet. It doesn’t seem to come up with new insights or judgements on its own. If people stop writing, AI won’t learn anything new (unless you turn it into AlphaZero for $DEVTOPIC). ChatGPT certainly saves time, but it becomes useless roughly at the same point where I would remain stuck after exhausting what Google Search turns up. That is, knowledge or conceptual topics that are hard to find on the web. At least for technical topics, ChatGPT doesn’t expand the scope of what you can find out without it, it merely speeds up the process.

  It doesn't come up with anything new, but it can combine two existing things when there's no good Google results at the intersection of them. I've been using ChatGPT to help learn WebGPU. There's basically nothing on the web about WebGPU except a couple of shitty half finished tutorials that don't explain anything. The spec is still changing so half the code in them is wrong. ChatGPT can take a current code example from code using WebGPU (which it has completely incorrect knowledge about since the spec has changed since the training data cutoff), and explain it anyway. Presumably using it's knowledge about Javascript and the underlying graphics APIs (Vulkan, DX12, Metal). It's applying general concepts to new code, and doing it pretty well. I'm not sure how much value this actually has. I may have just stumbled upon the one thing it's actually useful for. I actually think code generation itself is useless. I'm massively short on Copilot, in fact, I think it's actively making people worse programmers because it encourages a workflow that produces more code and less understanding. Good programming is about less lines of code and more understanding. My initial read on ChatGPT is that it can potentially help with that, especially where Google results get thin. (And also that everyone using it to generate code to copy/paste is an idiot and missing the point, basically).

    I'm not sure if we're saying a similar thing here but to me, it's basically another search engine. I'm honestly using it like a search engine at this point. Currently I think I'll probably end up reverting to Google and Stack Overflow because what I don't like about ChatGPT is that it doesn't provide any other opinions or options / insights. It's like a colleague who thinks they know everything ha It's a super cool thing to play with though..

  May be. But like alpha go to zero, if there is certain rules it can learn itself and no more or large amount of writing by human is needed. Also, one may worry not how intelligent they are but the noise vs info ratio that will kill a lot of web site. The problem is not lie but lie mix with truth or belief … then you do not know and shut off.

It won't kill personal blogs because chat GPT won't be messing around with weird hardware combinations and running into unique ender 3 firmware issues like real people will. I also don't see them conquering falsehoods coming from the bots anytime soon.

I hope it ends up killing search engines. Google needs a swift kick in the face.

The end of privately owned search engines is number one on my wishlist, I’d so love to see that happen.
