It's no different from any other type of server I think? Crowdfunding compute comes with a lot of security and privacy concerns and often if you're building a product putting that part of it in the hands of someone reliable is preferable.
It depends on what part of what you're building is your core intellectual property and such.
I'll ask back: what products would you build on top of a crowdfunded-compute GPT like model?
- asim 4y agoPersonally? One I'm interested in is a personal assistant that has access to 100+ APIs that I can command solely with text e.g ability to schedule future tasks, ability to get answers to questions around real world events and data available through APIs, ability to combine a lot of these things. What Alexa could/should have been. Separately, examination of religious and historic tests in alternate languages providing superior transliteration and translation into english than what humans could achieve.
- mdorazio 4y agoIt’s not clear to me why your first example needs AI. If you have a defined text query setup (maybe with prefixes depending on what you want) the rest is basic case-based API selection, no?
- asim 4y agoInitially yes, so simple commands to APIs works, I've done this. What's harder and actually requires programming is when you want to combine the use of multiple APIs into some sort of workflow. You could start to write some sort of DSL for this but actually seeing how ChatGPT works, its going to be far more effective to have something interpret human language and write something that will trigger the APIs as and when it needs to.
- wongarsu 4y agoFrom my understanding that is exactly what Microsoft's XiaoIce is doing in the Chinese market. Just with a text interface instead of a voice interface. I guess there's not much interest to develop something equivalent for the English-speaking market because it's difficult to monetize. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaoice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaoice https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.08989.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.08989.pdf (actually a better introduction than the wikipedia)
- generalizations 4y agoThe examples in the pdf are really advanced for something that was launched in 2014.
- generalizations 4y ago> Separately, examination of religious and historic tests in alternate languages providing superior transliteration and translation into english than what humans could achieve. I'd be interested in something similar to this as well - but I think part of the problem is that depending on the language, the text might only be available as digital scans without OCR. In that case, given that it would be in difficult-to-OCR languages, how could it be fed to an AI model?
- asim 4y agoWrite a model to do image to text? In the case of things like the Quran pretty much all of it is digitized already so consumable by a model. Other things could be figured out over time. I think for a lot of things this could lead to huge breakthroughs if done right.
- generalizations 4y agoI was thinking of ancient Arabic and Chinese texts that are obscure enough that no one's bothered to translate them yet.
