I personally don't believe a single thing about chatgpt and any ai that pops up around it. To me it's the same as google search - instead of truly enriching our lives, it simply made us dependent and then more lazy to the point where we rather search instead of thinking for a brief moment. Now that google became unusable, ai is supposed to step in or what... I hope the volumes of worthless content it generates destroy the internet as we know it, so we can finally move on to better things and start building communities again.

Communities never went away, they are all over the place. I guess you got too lazy to seek them out?

Google search is still immensely helpful for a lot of tasks. ChatGPT even today performs some tasks well e.g., extracting the intent from a natural language query, or generating text that on the surface looks human. It is often inaccurate on most tasks but it can I believe become better on some tasks to have a great economic effect. Most most likely we won't get AGI though, and that's great because AGI that is not restricted by the human scalp is an existential threat. I'm not talking jobs, It is about surviving as a species.

Skeptials keep being skeptial. It's not good for all use cases, but it's your problem to find good use case for it. It's the same as: all juniors can write code. Only senior can write code that's clean, simple to understand. Mind you, talking to ChatGPT is easier to talking to real human. Because most of the time, it understands your intent very well.

  > Mind you, talking to ChatGPT is easier to talking to real human. Because most of the time, it understands your intent very well. Also it has an unlimited patience as well as unlimited time to dedicate exclusively to you. You can ask the same question from different point of views and it puts the same effort into each answer every time, even taking into consideration what it already told you and build upon that. How parents start to get annoyed when kids ask "Why?" in a recursive loop to every answer you give them, or a teacher or coworker would have to tell you "I don't have any more time for this", this technology can really answer your question. Ok, at this time the answers still contain too many mistakes, but once they start being correct more often than the ones from humans, something really powerful will happen to the society. Imagine kids being able to ask any question and getting the answer immediately, them getting used to it, how fast they will be able to learn. Also be able to learn to ask the right questions.
