As an example: grammarly is a company that makes money off getting users to "correct use of language". They make millions per year and this is just one use case of ChatGPT. Other use cases: copilot , AI personal assistant/scheduler, research summarizer (ex: Ought). Each of these is a multi million dollar business at worst.
Let's not forget that this is iteration 1 of the technology. It is only going to get better and better. The fact that it can already do all these independent tasks without having seen additional data for the task is a complete game changer.
- alpaca128 4y agoI wouldn't call copilot a business until there's reasonable certainty that use of it can't get you sued. This is a topic right now in courts and the question isn't even if Microsoft and others have violated countless copyrights - they have - but whether they can get through with it. > The fact that it can already do all these independent tasks without having seen additional data for the task is a complete game changer There are some impressive examples, yes, but ironically they aren't among the ones getting hyped. Right now AI is only usable for one kind of application: where a few incorrect results don't matter at all. That means for me projects like Copilot are out - if I want buggy code I can just write it myself, and at least I understand my own code. ChatGPT quickly falls apart when you actually start testing it for something productive. I don't doubt others have some limited uses for it.
