Absolutely not. I haven't even used ChatGPT. I'm not against it, I just like to run things locally. I have gpt-2 and gpt-j and tons of different stable diffusion models local and I get way more enjoyment from diffusion rather than some large text prediction model. All these models know are what they are trained on. That's it. What they are trained on along with whatever limited window of memory that they have for an open-ended chat type query. I don't consider any large language model a replacement for research and searching. Although I do get a kick out of it for generating ridiculous nonsense and that brings me great joy because I get to laugh at it. Making nonsense top 10 lists or nonsense drink recipes. Those are hilarious times. Deliberately tuning the model so it's running a fever is just wonderful.

Why bother responding to this question if you haven't actually used it? that's like not reading the article before commenting and surely you're better than that, right?

  Because everyone else is using it and I've seen what it could do. I've used other large language models. I don't need to actually use it myself firsthand because I've observed millions of people using it secondhand. It's amazing for them but I just seen novelty in it and I don't see utility in it. I see utility in GitHub co-pilot. I see utility and being able to run gptj locally and then feeding that into visual studio code so I could run my own local GitHub copilot. I don't see any utility in a gated, run on someone else's computers, large language model. People talk about monetizing it and somehow running apps off of it and all of this crap and all it does is benefit the creators of it. You will own nothing of it. You aren't running it on a computer that you own. You're going to be renting compute from them to run the thing that they made in hopes that you can make money off of it. It's silly! You're never going to come out on top in that proposition unless you can run it on hardware that you own and not just in the cloud because you're renting that hardware.

    You can read all you want about riding a bike, but there's no substitute for actually riding one. We're not even talking about something as dangerous as riding a bike! The birth of Google in 1998 also brought about the birth of the SEO industry. 25 years later, there's still an SEO industry despite being built on top of something they don't have any control over. The beauty of a market economy is that it allows for people monetizing something they own nothing of, and that's totally fine!
