You realize that near human-level AI for $20/month is a bargain in a country where typical mobile phone plan is $25+, and is basically universally affordable?

- kokanee 4y agoThe implication of my point was that I expect this to be the first in an endless series of new prices, tiers, and SKUs, each one offering the most power to those who can pay the most.
- InCityDreams 4y ago>typical mobile phone plan is $25+ Jeepers! €5.99 - 70Gb data, unlimited calls and sms. You guys are being gouged to the max...especially with that '+' sign, at the end.
- TurkishPoptart 4y agoYeah, telecom companies in the US and Canada have us by the balls. It's at least $60 with taxes....we just get fucked compared to what Euros pay.
- anonyfox 4y agoYep, 30€/mo for phone/SMS flatrate + unlimited LTE here. Germany.
- nextaccountic 4y agoUniversally affordable? Here's two data points for you, minimum wage in Zambia is 13 USD per month, in India it's 65 USD per month.
- qualudeheart 4y agoMaybe people in rich countries can learn to subsist on that much. Combined with the feudalism model that I have elsewhere in this thread promulgrated, this will define the living conditions of the 99 percent as we approach the singularity.
- lostmsu 4y agoThe person above was talking about Great Depression, implying US. I am fully aware of the situation outside it.
- layer8 4y ago“The Great Depression (1929–1939) was an economic shock that impacted most countries across the world. […] Devastating effects were seen in both rich and poor countries with falling personal income, prices, tax revenues, and profits.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression)
- dragonwriter 4y ago> You realize that near human-level AI for $20/month is a bargain ChatGPT isn't remotely “near human-level AI”, though.
- DoesntMatter22 4y agoUhh have you used it? It's pretty close. Its not always correct but neither are humans.its generally pretty correct and extremely fast.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Uhh have you used it? Yes. > It's pretty close. No, its not, even in its narrow domain, whose narrowness by itself demonstrates its not anything like a near-human-level intelligence. > Its not always correct but neither are humans. Its a very good text generator, and is very useful. Its nothing even similar to a human-level intelligence.
- DoesntMatter22 4y agoI think it's actually very close to a human, and is already better than a lot of developers I've worked with. Many are mailing it in producing 20-30 lines of code a week. This will absolutely destroy the low end. Now one JR developer can massively eclipse them.
- Winsaucerer 4y agoI've tried it. It's truly incredible what it can produce, but it often produces the wrong thing. Furthermore, it cannot do logical inferences, and it cannot do mathematics. In short, the code it produces has to be reviewed by programmers who know what they're doing. Sometimes that speeds things up to have it produce the code and we review it, but sometimes it slows things down and it's easier to just write it yourself. I see ChatGPT as an extremely powerful tool that can boost a programmer's productivity, but despite its incredible capability it cannot be trusted in ways that we can trust human programmers.

- DoesntMatter22 4y agoI love how we have some incredible AI that saves hundreds or thousands of hours a year and the in typical fashion the replies below are complaining about the cost. Rofl
